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 on it wore hats, 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 conflicts 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.

Ah Xi.
Ah Xi, can you hear the birds singing?
Who are you?
Good boy, don't cry. Mother is bringing you home.
Mother!
Mother! Mother, don't leave!
Mother!
- Mother! Mother, where are you? - It's all right, it's all right!
It's just a dream. I'm here with you. I'm right here with you.
How many things have I broken this time?
Can you stop having all these nightmares?
If you have nightmares all the time, your mother up in heaven, will know that you're in so much pain
and will become very sad, too.
I never met my mother.
My father told me that I have impure human blood in my body.
He never lets me ask about my mother. Father disliked her, for sure.
No, that can't be! Lord Qingmu surely loved your mother very much.
He just doesn't want to talk about her.
We haven't chatted for a long time.
I never forgot what I promised you.
Ah Xi has been living by himself for a long time now and is doing well.
He is quite independent.
The only thing is, he's not able to forget this one human.
He's quite like you in this aspect.
Lately, this kid is finding out more and more information.
If it were you... what would you do?
Chief Priest, tonight's gathering,
Zhao Song and Tushan Qianhua will attend together.
I'm concerned that he may announce that she is the Left High Priest's wife.
Qianhua will not let go of her love for Ah Xi so easily.
This thing is not that simple.
But, Chief Priest...
Here it comes.
Hurry! Hurry!
Here.
Anybody there?
Lord Helan, it can't be that you're finished with matters already, right?
Stop messing around. Open the door quickly.
Why would I mess around with you?
I'm thinking about the happiness of others. If you don't finish matters today,
I won't open the door for you.
She fainted!
She fainted?
Lord Helan, isn't that taking it a bit too far?
Miss Guan is human!
A human? That can't be, right?
But -- But I clearly saw her wearing the Pearl of Charm.
- How long since she fainted? - Fifteen minutes.
Move aside.
What's the situation?
Patient is 24 years old, fainted fifteen minutes ago. Her blood pressure dropped to 70/40, heartrate 130.
- Does she have a history of heart disease? - She doesn't have heart disease.
Doctor Wang, she's in a critical state.
Get ready. Prepare 200 joules.
She does not have any heart disease. We cannot use a defibrillator.
- Doctor Wang, her blood pressure is going down again. - Bring it.
- Kuanyong. - Xiuxian, wasn't she doing well before?
She really kissed Lord Helan?
Yes. That's what Sumei said.
What on earth is going on?
Miss Guan kissed Lord Helan on her own and then fainted.
This is not the time to be joking around!
We're not joking. After all, Miss Guan is just a human being.
If caught off-guard with a kiss, Lord Helan's breath is harmful.
If you knew that, why didn't you tell her?
- We didn't think— - We didn't think that they would progress so quickly.
- Well, what did you think? - Don't get anxious.
I said that she didn't have a heart attack.
Please, go wait outside! Right now, you are obstructing our rescue efforts.
Kuanyong!
Let's go!
- Excuse me, please move aside. - Kuanyong, handle it. It's all yours.
Where are the syringes?
- Where are they? - The second drawer.
This will kill her.
Security! Security!
Stop! Are you her family members or not?
Doctor, I'll be responsible for her life.
Security, get them out of here quickly!
We're in a hospital. Shouldn't we listen to the doctors?
- Miss, if these two medications are injected simultaneously, it will kill her. They're lunatics! - Please, go outside!
My dad was always called a lunatic by others.
Xiaoju, trust us.
Nurses! All the nurses come! Nurses!
All of you, stop!
Doctor Wang, look. Her heartbeat is back to normal.
Blood pressure is 110/70.
Hello, Left High Priest.
Why did we come here?
You'll know in a while.
- Hello, Left High Priest. - Would Princess Zhaoyan appear here?
- Don't get anxious. - Left High Priest.
We're not even certain if Princess Zhaoyan is alive or dead.
But there is someone called Bozhong who will come.
- Bozhong? - Yes.
He is Princess Zhaoyan's most trusted follower.
How do you know that he'll come?
After all, this is the first time that I gave my Pearl of Charm away.
Even if she doesn't respect me, she'll have to respect you.
Can you be a little more serious? I didn't come here to play.
Am I not serious enough?
Then, let's get even more serious.
Today's a rare day.
All the family members from the North are here.
Even the Tushan Family that's been missing from here for hundreds of years is also--
They're not going to really end up fighting, right?
They definitely will. In a while, they'll go up there and fight.
They have such fiery tempers.
Did you think people from the North are all nice like me?
Eat less. Eat less!
He's mute. Something happened when he was young.
He can't talk or hear. Every time he comes, he just eats something and leaves.
Where's Bozhong? Is he here?
Bozhong? I've never seen him before.
You've never seen him before?
To be accurate, no one has seen him before.
So, we're looking for someone no one has ever seen?
That's right.
But I'll tell you that I'm really certain that he'll definitely come today.
All right.
Then I'll go and mingle with the people here. Maybe I'll find some clues.
Toast first.
Left High Priest.
Have you heard about it yet?
The White Fox Family's second daughter started liking Brother Li.
Is that for real?
Didn't you like Brother Li before?
Are you talking about Brother Li
from the Hengchuan Family?
You don't need to pretend interest in our conversation.
I'm not. I'm pretty sure I know that Brother Li, too.
We're really not that close.
My friend is quite straightforward when she talks. Don't be offended.
The North right now is like a big family.
When among family, they're really intimate.
But when faced with unfamiliar scents, they are all on alert.
If you continue in here like this, you'll get nothing from them.
Then, what can I do? If I don't mingle with them,
how am I going to find any clues?
If someone talked to you
with such direct intentions, would you agree?
When we came in, I told you to act better.
You're my wife. You should be the most respected person here.
Left High Priest,
I want to ask you to bless my child.
Sure.
How about letting my wife do it?
Forget it.
Anyway, it's not like we're really husband and wife. I don't have the right to bless her.
But I heard that in the South, even humans have the right to bless others.
Don't blame that girl. Her husband just passed away.
I think you knew her husband, too.
Who was he?
It was him. The Vice Chairman of the SPCA?
Isn't he from the South?
She has always been against her husband mingling in human society,
but her husband naively thought that he could change it.
The scent of humans on you probably made her uncomfortable. Don't blame her.
I heard he died from a car accident.
Accidents are pretty prevalent among humans, aren't they?
Of course, maybe I'm just too opinionated.
The truth is, it is still being investigated.
I made breakfast downstairs. If you want to eat anything else, I can make it for you.
I'm not eating breakfast. You eat it yourself.
Don't you go to class at ten o' clock? Why are you in a rush?
I want to go to class early to give the professor a good impression.
Then, when are you coming back in the afternoon?
The last class is until eight o' clock. By the time I come back, it should be about nine o' clock.
You don't have to wait for me for dinner.
I'm leaving.
Oh, right. There's still a problem with the toilet. Think of a solution to fix it.
Mom, I sent you so many video requests earlier, how come you didn't answer?
I was eating with your dad.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
When are you coming back?
I'll come back soon.
Why did you suddenly go to the States to have fun?
Didn't I already tell you, Mom? I made plans with friends to visit the States after graduation.
Is now a time for travel? Why not start working as soon as possible?
Mom, let's talk about work issues when I get back. All right?
Be safe.
I know.
Mom.
Huh? What is it?
Nothing. I just miss you.
If you miss me, hurry up and come back.
I'll come back soon.
All right.
Get to bed on time.
All right. Bye!
Bye-bye.
Hello, nurse. If the patient in this room needs anything, please notify me.
Yes, if there's anything going on, we'll immediately notify you.
All right. Thank you.
How's Pipi right now?
Let's wait a little longer.
Sumei?
Why did you come?
I wanted to apologize to Miss Guan.
I just wanted to joke around with her.
I didn't realize it would end up like this.
I don't even know if she'll forgive me or not.
Don't worry, she won't blame you.
Pipi is like that. She'll never blame anyone.
It's our fault this time. In the future, we'll pay attention to it.
- That's right. - In the future?
Do you know that at first Pipi was afraid of you all?
I was the one who persuaded her not to worry so much.
I was the one who coaxed her to try and interact with Mr. Helan.
I thought it would be like a fairy tale
where the heroine would wake up after she gets kissed.
But why is it that in your story,
you die after a kiss?
Forget it. It's my responsibility.
Why did Sister Fang also come?
She came with me. Please, excuse me.
Sister Fang.
You came right on time.
She wants to talk to you. You guys go ahead and talk.
I'll go outside and wait for you.
Let's go to the side.
What's wrong?
Xiuxian, come with me to buy something.
- What? Buy what? - Food.
- Buy what food? - Good food. Desserts.
Desserts?
Doctor Wang, I would like to apologize for what happened earlier.
No. I should apologize to you first.
If it wasn't for your firm decision, this lady would not be in stable condition right now.
We'll keep her under observation for another hour. If there are no big problems, she can be discharged.
Thank you.
Sir, I would like to ask something.
Earlier, in such an emergent situation,
how did you make such an accurate diagnosis?
This is something that only doctors with a lot of ER experience can do.
Actually, I'm not a doctor. I've just been through similar situations.
I became an ER doctor not too long ago,
so I haven't had much experience with patients. I hope you can give me some pointers.
If it's convenient for you, could you look at a similar patient record?
That... wouldn't be appropriate.
Actually, I have another case that was quite similar to today's case.
What's the situation in there?
We don't know yet.
This way, please.
Mr. Helan, I don't want to offend you,
but I don't want anything to happen to Pipi because of you.
Her situation right now is stable, but we still need to watch her for an hour.
Thank you, Doctor.
I won't let anything happen to her hereafter.
What's wrong with Sister Fang?
Her mood isn't too good. She said it's because she has encountered a lot of weird things lately.
Talk. Why are you looking at me?
Let's switch to a different place.
What words are there that you can't say in front of me?
Miss Xin, it's better for you not to know anything regarding this matter.
Please, take a look at these cases.
With my ability, I'm actually not—
It's okay. It's okay. I won't make it hard on you.
This person had a very similar situation like the one we faced today.
He passed away in the end because we could not save him.
[Fang Jingxue]
- What are you doing? - Exercising.
Exercising?
I wanted to say something to you at the party today.
I said, I wanted to say something to you.
Where are you going?
Sister Qingtan,
I finally found out.
Helan and Qianhua are not human.
They're aliens from the Fox Planet.
They don't eat food.
Some eat flowers. Some eat human livers.
Human livers!
- Fox Planet? - That's right, Fox Planet.
Also, look. I took photos.
Helan can use his will to hurt people.
Also, this came from their Fox Planet.
Have you played too many games recently?
No, look. I have photos. I saw it with my own eyes.
Those photos were taken by me. They are real.
- Wang Xuan, - Huh?
among the workers, you work the hardest.
I know.
I also know that you've had a lot of pressure ever since Pipi left.
But no matter how much stress you have,
you have to separate your work from your personal life.
Hold on. Let me find it for you.
Wang Xuan,
listen to me. Take a day off tomorrow.
Don't come to work. Rest well. I'm going to leave now.
Sister Qingtan! Sister Qingtan!
It's true.
I would love to eat it with some vegetables.
Some green things.
- I can't open it. I think that's two pieces. - You can eat it now.
You're very mean. You're so mean to him.
- Look... - It's not that easy.
You put more, I think. Yeah. Make it more delicious.
- This looks good. - We should make it, like...
- Hey. - Yeah, that's okay.
Who is that?
- Tianxin. - Huh?
We are making dumplings. You want to join us?
Okay.
So, come here.
Here.
- Hi. - Hi.
So, I'm going to introduce, that's uh...
Ceci.
- Ceci. - Hi.
- This is Nick. - Nick, hi. - Nice to meet you.
- Logan. - Hey, Logan.
- Victoria. - Nice to meet you.
- Silva. - Nice to meet you.
- And Walter. - Walter.
So, you guys made all this yourself?
- Yeah. - Hey,
Senior, when are you going back?
I think at the end of this month.
This month? Why? That's really early.
- I got some problems of my visa. It sucks.
That's unfortunate.
So, you got a student visa to come here?
No? What's your major?
I'm not here to study. I came here with my boyfriend.
Who is your boyfriend?
It's Tao Jialin. He's from your university, isn't he?
You've heard of him, right?
Oh, actually, my brother mentioned him to me before.
He's into artificial intelligence and has good grades.
I heard that Professor Liao even wrote him a recommendation letter.
Maybe you guys don't know that.
That Professor never write any reference to anyone,
- so her boyfriend is so good. - Not bad.
Hey. How long have you been together with your boyfriend?
We've known each other for a long time.
That's so sweet of you to come here to keep him company.
None of our girlfriends would come to keep us company.
I'm not here to keep him company while he's in school.
I came here to help him with the enrollment.
I'm going back in a few days.
Are you not coming back afterward?
I probably will.
Then, that would be keeping him company while he's in school.
What's going on?
We're talking about that she came here all the way for her boyfriend,
giving up everything in China just to be with him.
- Really? - Yep.
That's so romantic.
- Typical. - Typical what?
Typical Chinese.
How stereotypical for you to say that!
Okay. Sorry.
Actually, I got my master degree.
Moreover, I also graduated from H University. I majored in marketing.
Oh. So, you're taking the business?
But, you know, you would've gotten more opportunities to work in China.
But it's hard to find jobs in China right now.
It's not easy to find one,
but I already got an offer from Ogilvy.
Ogilvy offer?
Why did you come here, then? You sacrificed so much.
Let's play together.
We are not playing anymore. You can play by yourself.
Get your hands off of me.
The last time I saw you, you were humane. You're like this after only a few years?
Let's play a round.
If Brother Song wants to play, we have to play.
I'll make the introduction. This is my wife.
More specifically, my future wife
from the Tushan Family, Qianhua. Qianhua, these two are from White Fox.
I treat them as brothers. They take good care of me, too.
No, no. It's Left High Priest
who takes care of us.
Come on.
Qianhua would like to greet everyone.
Even though I left the North quite a few years ago,
starting today, I'm coming back to this big family.
I hope all of you can take care of me.
We're not qualified to take care of you.
How did Miss Qianhua and Left High Priest meet?
A long time ago, I was once being chased by humans and I even got hurt by ruby sulfur.
Left High Priest saved me.
Ever since then, I've liked him.
That's different from what we've heard.
We heard that the Tushan's rich daughter fell in love with the one in the south centuries ago,
but her feelings went unrequited because he was in love with a human.
So, are you treating our Left High Priest as a back up?
You're talking about Helan Jingting?
Right. I did like him in the past.
But he already likes someone else. I also told myself that
liking him is my own business, not anyone else's.
Can't I just secretly like him?
But when I met Zhao Song, I found out
that love isn't something you can do alone.
It's a business for two.
When you show your love to someone and he doesn't reciprocate, then why continue liking him?
When the other person reciprocates, only then do you understand
that liking someone who likes you back
is such a joyous and beautiful thing.
Hearing you say that, I want to know
how did Left High Priest pursue you?
What else could I do other than pursue her nonstop?
I know she disliked me in the beginning
because I always showed up, at any time and anywhere, in front of her.
I also said some things that were hard to hear.
I was stupid.
I didn't know how to make her like me.
I only knew that I really liked her.
When I would think of her, I wanted to see her immediately.
I didn't want her to suffer at all.
I also didn't want her to make meaningless sacrifices.
I also didn't want her to pretend to be strong among strangers.
It was too tiring. My heart really ached.
So, if you guys
think of me as a brother,
please treat my wife well, too.
Hello, Madam.
Let's go drink.
Please, forgive my attitude toward you earlier.
There is a human scent on your body,
just like my husband had.
He interacted often with humans, too.
Even though he's no longer here,
I've never really blamed him.
Seeing you today, I can truly understand my husband.
You and Left High Priest
are the same as all of us.
We do this because of our children and for our future.
Thank you.
One is bad news. One is good news. Which one do you want to hear first?
The bad news.
The bad news is that the elders you asked me to find,
those that could translate the ancient writings, they are all gone.
Not even one is left?
Over the past one hundred years, there were complicated changes. It was hard to predict that this would happen.
Then, we can also say that in this world, there is only the princess who can get us the needed translations.
Yes. So, the good news is that
none of the evidence proves if she is dead or not.
Not funny.
Pipi.
You're awake?
Are we in a hospital?
Yes.
You suddenly fainted. You scared me to death.
How do you feel right now? Do you feel better?
I feel like I had a very long dream,
but I don't remember what I dreamed about.
You still need to rest right now.
Why does something always happen whenever she's with you?
Miss Guan, it's my fault. I was the one who wasn't careful.
It's all right. Xiaoju is just joking around with you.
What time is it right now?
Right now, it's 1:10 a.m.
It's so late. Go and get some rest.
I'm fine. The doctor said they need to observe you for a few more hours. I will stay by your side.
Okay.
If there's nothing else with Miss Guan today, how about you go back and rest?
It's late.
It's all right. I'll stay for a bit longer.
Miss Xin...
What's wrong with her?
It's probably because of Miss Guan.
But seeing her in this state, it seems like she has something else on her mind.
Say, did Miss Xin do all the four S's?
It's just like the time when Miss Guan was heartbroken.
Then, did the doctor say why I fainted?
The doctor said...
Because I kissed you?
Yes.
In the past, I just gazed at your eyes for a bit
and I vomited for a couple days.
This time I just gave you a little kiss and I almost died.
If there is anything else I shouldn't do when I'm with you,
just tell me beforehand.
There is actually another thing you can't do.
What is it?
It's...
But there's a solution to it.
A solution for what?
I'm not likely going to be doing anything with you, so what solution?
I didn't mean anything like that.
Didn't we just eat dumplings?
Those dumplings didn't taste good.
- I didn't really eat any. - Lower your voice. Others can hear.
That's right. Get two.
- Thanks. - It's all right.
The girl just now. That... Tao Jialin's girlfriend.
She's so fake.
She said that she got an offer from Ogilvy.
- Let me tell you. Even if you beat me to death, I wouldn't believe that. - That's right.
If she got such a good offer, why would she still come back to keep her boyfriend company while he studies.
That's right. I would never do that.
Moreover, she only just graduated and already got an offer from Ogilvy?
How long are they going to study here?
Who knows how long they're going to study.
Oops.
Miss Xin, go take a look at her.
Okay.
Let's go sign the discharge papers.
All right.
They laid you down and you didn't even move. The heart monitor beeped and then it flat-lined.
Then Helan was going to give you medicine, but the doctor wouldn't let him.
So, I found a surgical knife and put it to my neck.
"All of you, don't make a move!"
If you have something precious and you want someone to take care of it;
usually, you'll choose a responsible person
who will make you feel at ease.
When we love someone, we're giving our heart and leaving it in someone else's care.
No wonder people say that love is a responsibility,
because our hearts are so fragile.
If we can't meet that responsibility,
then we probably wouldn't dare to love.
Sorry. I couldn't help you.
You already helped me a lot. Thanks.
It's a pity that we still haven't found that person.
Although we didn't get information about Bozhong when we were talking to them,
I heard quite a few things regarding Princess Zhaoyan.
She doesn't seem to like Helan.
She wants you to be the next Chief Priest.
So, I suddenly understood
that perhaps I don't need to look for Bozhong.
He'll come and look for me himself.
Miss Qianhua, Left High Priest, excuse me for interrupting you.
It turns out that you can talk.
What I shouldn't hear, I don't hear. What I shouldn't say, I don't say.
I am Yue Bozhong, Princess Zhaoyan's messenger.
