Long, long ago, there was a planet in outer space.
Its environment was almost identical to Earth’s environment.
Of course, there were aliens living on that planet.
After centuries of reproduction and evolution
these aliens formed their own civilization.
One day, their scientists predicted their galaxy would collapse soon.
To take refuge, they boarded space ships and migrated to other planets.
One group came to Earth.
They refer to themselves as the Fox people.
The earthlings of ancient times were terrified when they saw the Fox people.
According to "Lost Records," a huge ship once floated over the West Sea.
People on the ship wore crowns. Their bodies, covered in white feathers.
They could fly without wings.
That was our first impression of the Fox people.
To fit in, the Fox people kept evolving.
They look like earthlings now and lead their lives like we do.
The struggle between the humans and the Fox people never ceased.
During the Tang dynasty, there was a scholar named Dai Fu.
He was interested in the romance between people and foxes.
He believed love was transgressive.
After he passed away, his son made an anthology of the stories he wrote.
It was published under the name "Broad Records of Strange Stories."
This anthology was celebrated by its readers.
With the effort of storytellers, the stories spread among people.
People grew less curious about foxes. They became afraid of them.
The Fox people noticed mankind was becoming less friendly.
They had no choice but to hide their identities and blend in.

[Episode 18] [This story is entirely fictional.]
Dad! Where are you going?
I'm going to Hua University to see Gen Jiang and discuss an equation.
Do you know what day it is?
September 11th.
The September 11th terrorist attacks.
Why? Am I wrong?
No.
I'll be off then.
Dad.
What is it?
Are you feeling unwell or are you hungry?
There's food in the fridge. Eat first. I'll be back soon.
Have a snack first.
Stop following me.
I have to go to class. Stop following me. You'll distract me.
Why have you been ignoring me?
Figure it out yourself.
Pi Pi, Pi Pi! Your boyfriend is so cute!
Yeah! He's so handsome!
Is he?
We're all so envious!
Envious?
What if your boyfriend was just as good-looking as he is...
but he keeps photos of four or five ex-girlfriends at his house?
Would you still find him hot?
No way! How could he do that?
His ex-girlfriends look a lot like me too.
Are you serious?
He's treating you as a replacement? That's outrageous!
That's more or less it.
He thinks that I'm not too different
that I'm like the same person.
Isn't that infuriating?
I can't believe it! He looks like such a decent guy!
- He's actually such a jerk! - Exactly.
Quiet down. Class is starting.
Take your seats.
[Helan Xi]
The person you called is unavailable right now.
Please leave your message after the tone.
Qian Hua, are you back yet?
Give me a call when you have time.
Law of unity of opposites.
There are some things in this world
that are comprised of the unity and contradictions of opposites.
This law can actually help us better analyze problems.
For example, merely having good looks isn't useful.
What's important is substance.
Just look at me. [Husky Helan]
I have both good looks and substance.
- I have to go. Bye. - Bye!
Excuse me. Where did the girl in black go?
She left through the other door.
Hey, hey. Here's a warning, hottie.
Don't toy with a woman's feelings. You hear me?
You got that?
Let's go.
Happy birthday.
Time to eat cake!
Happy birthday!
- We bought a pretty cake for you. - Why are you guys here?
Isn't it your birthday?
How did you know?
Of course we know. Didn't you mention it before?
- When did I mention it? - Don't ask.
Make a wish.
Come on. Don't just stand there. Make a wish.
How can I make a wish with you two staring at me?
- We'll leave, then. - Don't! I'm making my wish.
You're done?
- So fast? - Yes.
Guess what she wished for.
Youth and longevity.
My guess is... she wished that she won't have to drink alone.
When did I drink alone? This is my boss's wine.
He comes here to drink alone when he and his wife fight.
Right, I believe you.
Nonsense!
Just because my name has "Ju" for chrysanthemum
you knew I was born in September?
What if I was named after the touch-me-not plant?
It's because someone looked at the calendar
and the 11th was already marked.
Really? I didn't know you were so attentive.
There's plenty you don't know.
Time to ask me, right?
- Ask him. - Ask him.
Me? What would I have to ask him?
I'm as interested in him as a farmer is in fertilizer.
- No questions? Then let's move on. - I'll ask.
Who do you like? Is it Fang Jin Xue?
Of course not.
Are you an idiot? Didn't I tell you that he doesn't like Fang Jin Xue?
All right.
I just thought of a question.
You told me that your dad used to be a scientific genius.
- Yes. - And that he's very eccentric.
I'm curious who he got together with to have such a beautiful daughter.
Who is your mom?
It's okay if you don't want to say.
When I was young...
My mom often took me to have dinner with a man.
He was really nice, cultured, and refined.
He took me shopping and to theme parks.
He was also the one who taught me how to use a fork and knife.
Back then, I always thought that it would be wonderful if he was my dad.
At least others wouldn't call me a lunatic's daughter anymore.
I also sensed that my mom was truly happy with him.
A happiness she never had at home.
My mom was with that man for seven years.
I gradually grew up.
I couldn't understand her anymore.
I couldn't understand how...
she could be in two relationships...
at the same time.
She hurt my dad.
She hurt the other man.
She hurt me.
I don't know whether she was actually happy.
What do you think?
How can someone be so selfish?
I was conflicted for some time.
I didn't know if I should tell my dad.
I could tell that my mom still cared about my dad a lot.
But I could also tell...
how much she didn't want to leave that other man.
If my mom was braver...
and had told both men about her relationships
could the three of them be sitting together now, just as we are?
Would everyone be less hurt?
Let's drink.
Pi Pi.
Pi Pi, are you clocking out?
- Bye. - Bye.
Pi Pi? It's really you? I thought I was mistaken.
What a coincidence.
How come you're working here?
Master Helan is so wealthy.
It's my family's problem. It has nothing to do with him.
Are you still hung up on those paintings?
Didn't I tell you the people in the paintings are you?
Why are you still bothered by them?
But I don't think they're me.
Then, do you like Master Helan?
That settles everything.
He likes you, you like him. So your business is his business.
Why won't you let him share the burden?
I think you should try putting yourself in his shoes.
Human or fox, being in love isn't easy.
Wouldn't it be a shame if you gave up so easily?
The decision is yours to make.
I've already said all I can. You can think about it.
- I'll be off then. Bye. - Bye.
Waitress! Where's my beer?
Just a moment.
Sorry about that.
Sorry, sorry!
Let me clean that up.
I'll forgive you if you drink this glass with me.
Here you go.
Sorry, I can't drink.
What's this?
I spend so much here. You won't do this for me?
Drink if I tell you to drink. Don't talk back.
No disrespect, but I really can't drink.
No? I'll call the manager over.
The lady has a low alcohol tolerance.
I drank for her.
Who are you? Why don't you mind your own business?
Do you know how much this costs?
Feel free to order whatever you want for the rest of the night. It's on me.
Whatever I want?
We'll be leaving now.
Hold it. Stop right there!
Do you think I need your money? I have plenty of my own!
Sorry! It's all my fault.
Save it!
This isn't over, I tell you.
So what do you want?
What do I want?
Do you want to hit me?
Come on. Try it.
What's going on?
Sir, is there a problem?
Your waitresses are really something. They don't apologize after messing up.
She even has someone to fight me. Is this a joke?
No, Manager. It's a misunderstanding. I apologized right away.
Sorry, I'm so sorry.
Sorry, she's new here. Please forgive her.
Apologize quickly.
Sorry!
Forget it.
She's off the hook, but he has to apologize to me.
Leave first. It's not your business. Go.
Sorry.
Fine, fine! The mood is spoiled.
I'm so sorry. Someone clean this up!
Let's go somewhere else.
Are you okay?
I'm sorry, sir. I have to ask you to leave.
I'll go now.
Go help. Quickly.
Everything's okay. Carry on.
It's okay now.
Manager, I'll clean up later.
They aren't giving you a hard time, are they?
If you don't like me here, I can leave now. Don't be mad.
Why are you so good to me?
Is it because of Hui Yan?
In your mind, she and I are the same person, aren't we?
No. Well... to be honest, you two are the same person.
But you're also not the same person.
It's hard to understand, but I hope you know.
From start to finish, you're the only one I've loved.
I don't understand.
I don't understand why you're so nice to me and why you like me.
But the only thing I understand is...
I think I like you.
Helan Jing Ting, I've fallen for you. What am I going to do?
I find it so unfair!
If I'm the same person as them...
then I should have hundreds of years of memories with you.
But you're the only one who has them. I don't.
- It's not fair. - No, Pi Pi.
If I'm not the same person as them, then it's even more unfair.
You were with them for so many years.
What about me? How long have you known me? Just a few months.
How can I possibly compare to them in your heart?
- Can I? - I--
I don't ask that you only like me.
I just want memories of my own. Memories of you and I. Do you get it?
- Let me finish! - Marry me.
Guan Pi Pi, will you marry me?
Why did you drink when you can't?
I was afraid they would bully you.
- Are you feeling unwell? - No.
All right. We made it back before sunrise. Go in.
Actually, I could've made it back on my own.
- Are you sure? - Yes.
- How many is this? - Three.
You can clearly still see.
I really have to go home and change.
It's morning already. Get some rest before you leave.
- No, I have to go home to change. - Come in.
I can't wear the same clothes.
Qian Hua?
Ms. Guan, it's been a while.
It's been a long time.
You two talk.
I have to go home to change anyway. I'll be off then.
Be careful on your way home.
- Bye. - Bye.
When did you get back?
I've been back for a few days.
I haven't heard from you. Did something happen?
Sorry, I was delayed for a few days.
Qian Hua, if something bad happened, just tell me.
A Xi.
I know you're wiling to do anything for Shen Hui Yan.
But I hope we can be selfish on this matter.
I know how to save Hui Yan.
Princess Zhao Yan said...
So it's that simple.
A Xi.
I wish I'd known sooner.
Please, listen to me this time.
I'm not asking you to not save Hui Yan.
I just think we can wait a bit longer. Maybe there is another way.
It can't wait any longer.
Pi Pi really doesn't have much time left.
Why can't we wait?
Hui Yan will appear again.
In the next century, and the century after that.
Maybe we can wait until
there's a way that doesn't require such a big sacrifice.
Trust me. There will be a way to save Hui Yan.
Qian Hua, you still don't understand?
Hui Yan is already dead. She's no longer here.
I'm saving Guan Pi Pi, not Hui Yan.
Guan Pi Pi can't wait.
Okay.
I support you.
- Hello? - Hello, Xiao Ju?
Did you change yet? We're almost there.
I'm ready.
Okay, I'm coming out now.
Okay, come out. There's a surprise for you.
How are you two so fast?
Surprised? Excited? Happy?
Why are you calling me?
- I have money to waste. - So what?
You're still calling me?
- I'm not calling you. - I'm not either.
Hello?
Hello, are you a family member of Xin Li Min?
Who are you?
Mr. Xin was injured in a fight and was taken to the emergency room.
Can you come by?
Wrong number. I don't know a Xin Li Min.
- Who was it? - Scam call.
Is everything all right, Xiao Ju?
- Let's go. - Come on, let's go.
What movie are we going to watch?
Let's watch "King Kong." What do you say?
What's it about?
A gorilla falling in love with a beauty.
A gorilla falling in love with a beauty? How could a human love a gorilla?
Why can't a human love a gorilla? Humans evolved from gorillas.
Is there anything else?
What do you want to watch?
Xiao Ju, what do you want to watch?
Me? Anything is fine.
No, just tell me the type of genre you like.
Anything is fine.
Do you like comedy, romance, horror, or drama?
I saw a film the other day about a woman on a boat.
I think she had multiple personalities, and she killed everybody on the boat.
- What do you think? Want to watch that? - Enough!
Is there one about an irresponsible father
who dies a tragic death at a hospital?
Kuan Yong, can you please take me to the hospital first?
Okay.
Thank you.
Where did you go this time, to put yourself in this state?
I didn't go anywhere.
I was just walking around near our house.
Near home?
- Were you with those-- - Uncle.
Do you feel better now?
You're here too? I made some new discoveries.
Come, I'll tell you about it.
Come, come.
- Come on. - How about another day?
- You don't want to see? - This notebook again?
It's always because of it.
You're either neglecting me because of it
or arguing with others because of it.
Don't you know how old you are? What if something happens to you?
No, this notebook--
Yes! Your notebook is the most important! Only I'm not!
Xiao Ju, Xiao Ju!
Go talk to Ms. Xin.
I think she needs you more right now. Go.
- But you two-- - But what?
She might not like to hear what I have to say. Go. I got this.
Do you smell it?
[For My Daughter]
Are you okay?
I'm fine. Itchy head.
You and your dad are quite similar.
Who's like him?
Just like him, you aren't good at expressing your feelings.
Is that a family trait?
You like someone, but don't tell them.
You care about them, but pretend you don't.
You would rather do things for them in secret
than let them know how you truly feel.
Then you complain that they don't understand you.
Isn't that unreasonable?
Are you talking about yourself?
What I'm saying is...
we are more easily hurt by those closest to us.
Your father does care about you.
Just like how you care about him.
Can't you two communicate your feelings in a better way?
- Here you go. - Thank you.
Let's go.
So...
Does it still hurt?
Do you...
Do you two think aliens exist?
Do they?
I know there are aliens.
[For My Daughter]
[Dear daughter, happy birthday!]
There's more.
I bought this at a boutique near your school.
The owner said that girls like these.
Today isn't my birthday.
I'm not a little girl either.
But, thank you.
Okay.
Yes.
Dad, I can't talk.
Xiao Ju, are you busy?
I... I'm not busy. What's up?
I just saw Tian Xin.
And?
How come that's your reaction?
At any rate, she's already back.
You're bound to run into her sooner or later.
How did you know?
I ran into Tao Jia Lin a few days ago.
You saw Jia Lin? Why didn't you tell me?
Don't you have a boyfriend? Is this still important?
So you ran into him. Did he say anything?
Tao Jia Lin...
- Hello. - Here's your medication.
Xiao Ju?
You're back?
Here to see a doctor?
No, I'm picking up medication for my dad.
I'm picking up blood pressure medication for my dad too.
- Xiao Ju, has Pi Pi been-- - She's doing great.
A lot has happened to me lately.
Tian Xin and I broke up.
I didn't know when you two got together.
I don't think you need to inform me when you break up.
I've been thinking about seeing Pi Pi and apologizing. Do you think--
That's not necessary. She has already forgiven you.
If you want to apologize so you can feel better, I think you should save it.
No, I sincerely--
If you want to apologize to salvage something, you can save it.
Pi Pi won't go back to you.
I know.
I did the wrong thing.
Yes, you were in the wrong.
Tao Jia Lin, dating is
a process of finding out whether two people are right for each other.
During this process
getting together or breaking up and falling in or out of love is normal.
But you fell in love with Pi Pi's friend
and didn't even have the guts to tell her.
Where was your respect for her and the relationship?
The biggest problem wasn't that you fell for someone else.
It was your weak character.
Tao Jia Lin.
Pi Pi already has a boyfriend.
Okay, I understand. Bye.
Why are there thoughts we just can't seem to express?
Because we're afraid they'll find out how much we care?
Or because we're afraid they'll find out how weak we are?
Because we're afraid they'll find out how selfish we are?
Or because we're afraid they'll find out how cold we are?
Perhaps what we're most afraid of is letting others see our true selves
stripped bare, defenseless, unreserved
and completely vulnerable.
[Account balance: 11,374 yuan.]
Ms. Fang, I need to inform you of various things.
Can we speak in private?
Doctor, just tell me.
How much time does he have left?
We have consulted with the top specialists.
Unfortunately, we haven't found a cure for this rare disease yet.
We will continue to treat him to the best of our abilities
but I'm afraid you need to be mentally prepared.
I understand. Thank you.
I used the Golden Flower Mirror as Princess Zhao Yan advised me
but I don't understand the characters displayed.
What do the words mean?
It's the way to save your child.
It's a bit cruel though. Would you still do it?
Of course I will!
I will do anything if my child can be saved!
Even if I have to die.
You don't need to die.
Someone else has to die though.
What do you mean?
You must know about half-human Right Priest Helan.
He was born with many ailments and even blindness.
I heard Princess Zhao Yan saved him. That's why I thought to ask for her help.
Then you must also know
it was a human woman who gave her liver to Right Priest Helan.
What does this have to do with my child?
Her liver can save Master Helan, and it can save your child too.
If you kill her, harvest her liver, and stew it into a soup
your child will be cured after drinking the soup.
Is that the only way?
You're as good as forcing me to kill.
Do you want to watch your child die then?
That woman is already wearing Master Helan's Pearl of Charms.
If I kill her, Master Helan will never forgive me.
She won't reach the age of 25 anyway.
You don't have to feel guilty.
Besides, she'll be reincarnated. But your child won't.
Think it over carefully.
I suggest you decide quickly though. Your child can't wait.
That woman really won't live to the age of 25?
