Once upon a time, there was a planet far away in outer space.
The environment there was almost the same as Earth's.
So, of course, there were aliens living on it.
After a long process of evolution, those aliens
established their own civilization.
One day, their scientists predicted that their galaxy was going to collapse.
To escape, they immigrated to other planets in the universe by spaceship.
And one group of them came to Earth.
They called themselves the Fox Clan.
Ancient men on Earth were shocked when they saw them.
An ancient book reads that a huge ship-like object flew above the western sea.
The people in it wore crowns, had white feathers all over their bodies, and flew high in the sky with no wings.
That is the first impression the Fox Clan made on humans.
To adapt to the environment on Earth, the Fox Clan never stopped evolving.
Finally, they began to look like humans and gradually fit in with them.
Since ancient times, the conflict between humans and the Fox Clan never ended.
There was a government proofreading official named Dai Fu,
who was especially interested in the love between foxes and humans.
He believed love could overcome everything.
After Dai Fu died, his son collected all of the stories he had written.
He called it "Guang Yi Ji" and had it published. (The Great Book of Marvels)
It was quite popular among its readers.
After storytellers added more details, the stories spread even further.
But humans began to fear foxes, instead of just being curious.
Foxes noticed that humans were getting less and less friendly.
They had to hide their identity in this world.

[Episode 10]
Huiyan, Father said the medicine is almost ready for me.
I'll be able to see with my eyes very soon.
I want you to be the first thing I see.
I told you I'm ugly.
You won't like me.
Don't look at me.
The fox flower has 12 petals.
It takes one full year to blossom.
Whoever is marked with this flower will die before their 24th year.

Ah Xi, drink it all up.
Thank you, Father.
Father.
Father, where is Huiyan?
Where is she?
From now on, forget about Shen Huiyan.
Father... I don't understand.
Where is she?
You will never see her again.
Why not?
She promised to marry me.
She is my wife. She said she would never leave me.
Stop it.
I am telling you again,
you will never see her again.
She is not your wife.
She is just your medicine.
Helan Jingting, from this day forward,
you are my heir.
I hope you will learn best from our ancestors.
One day you will be a great leader of the Fox Clan.
Let me go!
Forget that human woman!
Do what you're supposed to do!
Let me go!
Song'er, step back.
Why are you doing this?
You knew I loved her!
She was just your medicine!
Medicine that brought your eyesight back!
Then why did you promise she could marry me?
Why did you let us grow up together?
I just want to tell you
never to fall for a human woman.
Huiyan.
You can finally see.
Forgive me.
I can't be with you.
Huiyan. Huiyan!
Huiyan!
You're awake.
I must look ridiculous to you right now.
Have some water.
You sweated a lot.
What did I do wrong?
Huh?
What the hell did I do wrong?
You didn't do anything wrong.
They didn't do anything wrong, either.
There isn't a right or wrong for everything.
Can't you just eat me?
Yes.
However, now is not the time.
Then when can you do it?
When you fall in love with me.
Then it probably won't happen.
I won't fall in love with anyone.
Mysterious male royalty. Cold female CEO.
Doctors...
A man who came from nowhere. Superpowers...
What else is there?
Sorry, Miss.
Can't you see we only hang out with good-looking people?
Miss Guan, Mr. Helan has been waiting for you for a very long time. Please, follow me.
Would it be too difficult to find fried pork buns?
Believe me.
Are you kidding me?
In regards to the Helan Jingting interview, Pipi told me
she didn't get any meaningful information.
Plus, she has already quit.
I don't know where she went.
Instead of going to find Guan Pipi,
it would be more useful to keep an eye on Helan and Qianhua.
Everyone in our business knows,
that sometimes when you've already uncovered important news,
but the news may be harmful to someone, especially those with power and money,
that person may make a deal with the journalist in secret.
In the situation with Guan Pipi and Helan,
it's very possible that Guan Pipi found something important-- - Wang Xuan.
You can't just make such assumptions. You need proof.
Chief Editor, then, I ask you, why did she suddenly quit?
Wasn't it because of some personal reasons?
Xiaoyu told me her boyfriend just went to the U.S.
Guan Pipi's parents are not rich enough to support her going to America.
Then, you're saying Helan manipulated her?
Did Guan Pipi hand in the equipment she used for interviews?
[Meeting Place: SKY RESTAURANT] [Interview Date: August 13, 2018]
Xuan, here's another one.
Did anyone else use this pen recorder?
No. Most people think it is too much of a hassle.
They record with their phones now, which shouldn't be allowed.
Okay, I'll check it out. Thanks.
Hey, Xuan. You need to sign for it.
You sign it for me.
I can leave alone. Don't come out.
You be careful.
Relax.
Hello?
Miss Guan, this is the restaurant
calling to confirm your Chinese Valentine's Day dinner for two.
Today is Valentine's Day?
Yes.
I'm sorry. Can I cancel it?
I'm sorry. Since it's a holiday,
we will have to deduct a cancellation fee of 1000¥ from your bank card.
Perhaps... you can come with another friend.
Pipi, have some noodles.
Ah.
I felt it a long time ago.
Every time I was with Jialin, I asked myself,
"Why does he like me?"
I'm so stupid. My family is not rich.
If we hadn't grown up together,
he wouldn't even be with me.
You're stupid. Your family isn't rich,
but these are not the reasons why he doesn't love you.
I am not good enough for him. Unlike Tianxin.
She's smart and talented.
Her English is so good.
It's best that she go to America with Jialin.
If I went, I would be a burden.
Don't think like that.
You know what? When we were in high school,
no one in my class wanted to be my friend.
Tianxin was the only one who would be my friend.
I always guessed that Jialin would leave me,
but I just didn't expect it to be for Tianxin.
Pipi, everyone goes through break-ups.
We all power through it.
You need to believe in yourself. You will meet the one.
What if I don't?
If you don't, then you need to have some noodles.
Have some. Be a good girl.
I can't eat.
Forget it.
Have some soup, then.
You don't know how I feel.
I do know.
I liked that guy.
Who?
The one who often came to my cafe.
The one I wouldn't admit that I liked.
He didn't like me, so I had to let it go.
Pipi, you are lucky.
You and Jialin grew up together.
Even if there's no love left, he still cares about you.
Do you really think he cares about me?
Of course. If you were in danger,
he would come to see you as soon as he could.
Then why didn't he show up yesterday when I was in danger?
He didn't know.
If he had known he would have dropped everything and run to see you.
Okay, Pipi. Rest some more, then get up and eat something.
I have to go to work. I will check on you again after work.
Don't make me worried. Good girl. Eat something.
I'm going!
Sorry! I'm sorry.
Are you all right?
I'm fine.
- This is? - The camera.
That is not your fault. I bumped into you.
You still need a new one. I already have too much money that I don't know how to spend.
Wait a minute.
- Can you give me your phone number-- - There's no need.
I gave you a check so I could avoid any trouble.
If you have any money left over, buy a better pair of shoes so you won't slip again.

Maybe the love Jialin had for me disappeared long ago,
or maybe Tianxin misrepresented her friendship with me.
During the darkest three years of my life,
the most popular boy and girl in school were with me.
Why are your gloves so expensive?
Ma'am, we are just a small business.
I can't even make ¥5.
You bought all these goods for ¥5 and are selling it for ¥50. It's obvious you're overcharging.
Ma'am, how can you say that?
If you think it's too expensive, drop them and shop somewhere else.
You deserve to be a peddler for life.
- What kind of language is that? You don't need to buy them here. Why start insulting me?
What are you yelling about?
Don't mess with my business.
Go away!
Pipi!
Isn't that Uncle Guan?
Who can I offend selling gloves here?
- My father-- - Let's all go help your father sell gloves.
All right, let's.
Uncle Guan, we're here to help you.
- Dad. - Huh?
So pretty.
Everyone, come check these out!
Pretty earmuffs and gloves!
Warm and fashionable! Only ¥20!
And scarves, too! Take a look!
This scarf. There are some matching gloves here, too.
Everyone, check this out!
This suits you well.
This one... only ¥50.
Look.
Auntie, that looks good. Buy it.
Do you like this pattern?
There's one more hour before we check-in.
Are you hungry? Let's go get some food.
Jialin?
Jialin.
What's wrong?
Are you thinking about Pipi?
No. No, I wasn't.
It was all so sudden.
None of us were prepared.
This way, Pipi can calm down.
When we come back from America,
we will explain it all to her.
Tianxin,
thank you for accompanying me.
No problem.
I will go get some food. You wait here.
I'm sorry.
Hello.
[Jialin, I can't live without you.]
To the U.S. Two people.
[Safe travels.]
Thanks.
Okay, thanks.
Miss, where do you want to go?
56 Xianting Street, please.
Yes, all right.
Thank you.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
- Let's go. - Yes, let's go
Subbing and Timing brought to you by the Love Knot Team @Viki
I'm sorry for troubling you.
No worries.
I wanted to--
I promise you.
You don't want to ask what it is?
I will promise you anything.
Hold my arm.
Be careful.
This way.
Welcome.
Mr. Helan, can you wait for me for one minute?
Sure.
I want to try on this dress. Is there a size S?
All right. One moment, please.
Miss Guan, I'll buy it for you.
No, no. I want to buy this myself.
Here.
Thank you.
What's the rush?
We'll be there soon.
One moment. Red light.
Be careful.
Miss Guan, can we cross now?
Be careful.
You're really sweet.
Coming to the hair salon with your girlfriend.
What's a salon for?
Salon is the place where girls become pretty.
You sit here for a while.
This way, please.
Is there anything you can't eat?
No, nothing.
Aren't you allergic to seafood?
I just made that up last time. You made me angry.
So...
Then, tell the chef to prepare the ingredients accordingly.
Yes, sir.
Here is your tea.
May I ask for water instead?
This gentleman doesn't drink tea.
Sure. Coming right up.
I'm sorry for asking you to come here and eat with me.
No problem. Our last two engagements weren't exactly joyful.
This is a chance to make up for that.
But I don't want you to misunderstand.
Relax. I won't.
Excuse me, your dish is ready.
Please, enjoy.
What's wrong? Not tasty?
Nothing. It feels odd for me to eat alone.
It feels like something is missing.
I thought you don't eat human food.
Not a problem. I'll eat along with you.
Eat some more.
Sir, your water.
This is our special couples themed meal.
This is the rest of your order. Please, enjoy.
Eat some more then.
Thanks.
Sorry, I have to go to the bathroom.
It's getting late. I'll drive you home, Miss Guan.
Do you know what the date is today?
The 7th of July on the lunar calendar.
Times flies so fast.
Yeah. When I was little, I didn't know why this day was Chinese Valentine's Day.
Then my mother told me the story about the Cowherd and the Cloud-Weaver.
I just felt so bad for her.
Then I realized as I grew older, even though they could only see each other once a year,
it was already blissful for two people in love to have met once a year.
So, today is humankind's Valentine's Day?
Buy your girlfriend some flowers.
These are so pretty!
This one?
- Enjoy. - Thanks.
Welcome.
Smells so good!
- Pretty? - Yep!
All of these are new ones and they arrived today.
Take a look around.
Thanks. Come again.
Miss Guan, this is for you.
Thanks.
Mr. Helan, can you do me another favor?
Sure.
You know what?
On this ferris wheel, you can see the best views of the city at night.
Isn't it pretty?
Yes. Do you come here often?
This is my first time here.
I always thought I should come here with someone I love.
It's a waste to come by myself.
So, I've been holding onto this thought.
I wanted to pick a special day and come here with the one I love.
It seems like some views are not meant to be shared.
I'm sorry. I disappointed you.
No. I'm supposed to say sorry.
What's wrong? Feeling unwell?
I think I'm afraid of the height.
Is it better now?
You can skip the view that you can't share.
Once, I heard a song.
The lyrics said,
"Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans."
We are used to planning our lives.
But life is always full of surprises.
It will catch you when you're least prepared.
Then you will suddenly notice,
your life has been slowly changing.
Mr. Helan,
can you throw away this letter for me?
Don't throw it away if you're hesitating.
Can you do me one last favor, then?
Read the letter to me.
"To the future Pipi,
I'd like to go to school with you.
I'd like to run with you.
I'd like to watch movies with you.
I'd like to play games with you.
I'd like to do many things with you,
because you're the prettiest, the kindest,
and the most lovely girl I've ever seen.
When we grow up, will you marry me?
I will never lie to you.
I will never make you suffer.
That way, we can be together forever.
5th grade, 6th class, Tao Jia--"
Stop now.
I'm sorry, Mr. Helan.
I shouldn't have asked you to do so much for me today.
Is there anything else that you need help with?
No. Thank you, for today.
Miss Guan. The umbrella.
No need.
