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 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.

[Episode 21] [This story is purely fictional.]
Why are you not willing to help me?
Huiyan, listen to me. It is not because I do not want to help you,
- it's because I can't help you. - Why can't you help me?
Last time, my hand got hurt and it was you who healed it.
It's the same with this flower.
This is different.
It's the same. How is it different? You can bring it back to life.
But... over on father's side...
I won't tell Lord Qingmu, all right?
I won't tell him. He won't know and won't yell at you.
Just secretly help me.
This flower is really important. It's the only one from my homeland.
I... Huiyan.
If I help you, I will severely hurt my body.
It will reduce my lifespan by a few years.
Do you still want me to help you?
Subbing and Timing brought to you by the Love Knot Team @Viki
Sorry, I was held up on my way here.
It's all right.
What are you looking at?
I'm watching Fang Jingxue's movie "Obsessed." I'm interviewing her later.
Doesn't she have a restaurant nearby?
Yes, it's nearby, so we're meeting there later.
Amazing. You're already interviewing popular celebrities.
Oh, yeah, let me borrow your phone.
Thank you.
It's getting cold. Hurry and drink it.
Done.
[¥14000.00]
Pipi, what are you doing?
I'm returning it this way. Otherwise, I know you wouldn't accept it.
I won't accept it if you do it this way, either. I'm sending it back to you.
It's me who's returning it to you.
What's this you're "giving back?"
My mom borrowed it. It's the same.
This was a gift for your mother. You don't have to return it.
Jialin, even biological brothers settle their accounts clearly.
Just accept it.
Are you all right?
Yes.
You suddenly broke up with Helan. Why?
You told me before that you really loved him.
I can see that he also loves you.
Actually, if you love each other, you don't have to be together.
We clearly know that there is no future for us.
If we still stay together, we'll just hurt each other.
Why not clean up the mess early?
It's better for everyone.
I feel like you've changed.
The Pipi in the past probably wouldn't say those words.
You've changed and became more confident,
braver.
Really?
Do you have any plans for what comes next?
Spend my life happily every day and be a filial child to my parents.
Do you have any other plans? For example, further studies
or perhaps changing jobs or something like that?
So, you don't have any other goals to achieve?
Goals?
We'll see. I haven't yet thought about it.
It's almost time. I'll go and do the interview.
Go then.
It's all right. I'll pay for it.
I already accepted so much money from you today.
All right. Then, I'll leave first.
Look. It's this news item.
How come it's like this?
Hello. Sister Qingtan.
No, it was just that my friend knew some insider news.
Sister Qingtan, your overpraising me.
They even used dogs and cats.
These animals were raised to be used.
A summons from the Bureau of Quality Inspection was issued.
Ciel has yet
to reveal their product formulas.
No, no, no.
All right. Bye-bye.
Thanks.
Sir.
You left your wallet.
- Thanks. - You're welcome.
Have a nice day.
Is anyone here?
Ms. Fang?
- Ms. Fang? - Hello.
Ms. Fang. Hello, I'm Guan Pipi.
I just went out to buy something. Sorry for the delay.
You must have waited for a long time.
It's all right, it's all right. I just arrived.
What would you like to drink?
- Will tea work? - No need to trouble yourself.
You should drink some.
Thanks.
Ms. Fang, I'm really grateful that you let me interview you.
When I received your call, I was really surprised.
Recently, there are people online who are randomly writing about my issues,
so I think it's necessary to explain.
Just in the time, I heard from the company that you wanted to interview me.
So, I was thinking, why not let you clarify these things for me?
Don't be so courteous.
Why is the restaurant closed today?
Are you planning to renovate it?
We closed. I'm planning to sell it.
What? Why?
There's no why. I just don't want to do it anymore.
Then, are you planning to focus on acting?
Recently, I haven't seen any new projects of yours. Are you filming a movie?
I also don't want to film any movies.
Then, you... Are you planning to leave the entertainment industry?
You're at the peak of your career right now.
If you leave, wouldn't that be a pity?
Since I am a mother, I want to spend more time with my child.
You... have a child already?
Do you know that
for him, I'm willing to do anything.
I can understand. For your child...
I can understand. I can understand.
Sorry. You must have been scared.
No, no.
Recently, I feel like I'm too immersed in my past role.
Are you talking about "Obsessed?"
Wow. Your performance was great.
That Li Xin, in order to save her own child,
she was willing
to make a deal with the demon and then killed people for the demon.
I had goosebumps just watching it.
Probably, because I became too immersed in my role;
recently, I feel like I'm not Fang Jingxue but rather Li Xin.
Wow. During filming, how did you study for your character?
The role of Li Xin is really unique.
She isn't a bad person and she never does bad things.
Making a kind person kill someone,
you must have a really good reason.
That way, no matter how many people she kills, the audience will understand her.
Right?
So, the motivation, being the child, is really important.
It was the basis for all her actions.
Child... Child...
Don't be afraid. Mother will save you!
I'm begging you, please let go of my child!
If you must possess a body then possess mine.
I'm willing to do anything. I'm willing to listen to you about anything.
Don't hurt him. Don't hurt him.
This... I know this.
What do you know? You don't know anything!
I...
Ms. Fang, this...
Ms. Fang!
I'm doing all this for the sake of my child.
Can you understand?
Ms. Fang, your child has nothing to do with me.
Don't worry. It'll be over soon.
Be careful! Pipi!
- Jialin! - Hurry and go, Pipi.
Hurry, get up!
Hurry!
Stop running! You can't run away from me! Come out!
Come. Jialin, be careful. Let's go to the hospital.
Be careful. Stay strong.
Jialin.
Family members need to wait outside. Please cooperate with us.
- What's the situation? - The test result is out. His hemoglobin concentration has dropped to five grams per liter.
There are abnormal levels of fibrinogen and blood clots.
There's also a high level of serum potassium. I suspect that it's an adrenal insufficiency.
What about the CT and the MRI?
The results for this patient are all normal.
Then why would this happen?
Mister, mister. Can you hear my voice?
Last time our hospital also had this same situation.
This situation happened before?
Yes.
Who was the doctor that worked that case?
It was Doctor Wang.
Hurry and tell Doctor Wang to come over here.
Where is the patient's family?
- Doctor. - You're Tao Jialin's family member?
Yes.
His injury isn't a simple stab wound.
Has he taken any new type of drugs recently?
No.
What about any poisons?
I don't think so.
This is strange.
Doctor, what do we do now?
His bodily functions are declining at a fast rate. We have no solutions right now,
but our hospital had a similar patient.
Their conditions are very similar.
Doctor.
Isn't this you?
Yes. Yes, it is me.
How did they solve this then?
Last time...
I fainted and then
the doctor didn't know what to do. I think it was some of my friends who...
Doctor. Doctor Wang is over there.
How about this? The situation is urgent right now.
Immediately call your doctor friends. We're going to find Doctor Wang.
Pick up the phone!
Why aren't you picking up? It's probably from a girl.
Don't delay your big matters just to help me with the dishes.
It's Guan Pipi.
- Why aren't you answering Pipi's phone call? - I don't want to answer it.
Then I'll pick it up.
- Hello, Pipi. - Hello, Xiuxian.
How about you tell me first?
Xiaoju, that... Is Xiuxian there? Can you pass him the phone?
Jialin had an accident.
Don't worry. I'll give him the phone.
Pick it up! It's an emergency.
- Hello. - Xiuxian.
That... Jialin got into an accident. Can you come and take a look?
If he's hurt, he should go to the hospital. There's no point in calling me.
I'm already at the hospital right now, but... the doctor doesn't know what to do.
It seems like it's a bit similar to my situation last time.
Also, he got hurt by Fang Jingxue.
So, I'm wondering if it's related to the Fox Clan or not.
Can you come and take a look?
All right, I understand.
What happened?
Guan Pipi said that her ex-boyfriend got hurt by Fang Jingxue.
Fang Jingxue?
Then, shouldn't we go see what happened?
- I'm not going. - Don't be this way.
Just think of it as helping me out. What if something bad really happens? I'm begging you.
- I think this situation is suspicious. - Right. It's suspicious.
I'll go.
Let me change my clothes. Wait for me.
- That... Help me clean that stuff. - Let's go.
- How is it? Are you all right? - Xiaoju.
How did he get hurt?
I originally went to interview Fang Jingxue.
Out of nowhere, she pulled out a knife.
Are you all right?
I'm fine. Jialin came and rescued me,
but he got stabbed in the abdomen.
The doctor said the functions of his body keep dropping.
He also keeps having seizures. It doesn't seem like a simple knife wound.
Is that woman sick? She must've gone crazy acting.
Tao Jialin. Tao Jialin.
The patient needs quiet. Please, wait outside.
Are you sure it was just a plain knife stab? There was nothing else in Fang Jingxue's hand?
She held a knife in her hands.
The knife had Fang Jingxue's blood on it. She cut herself.
Sorry, Miss Guan. We can't do anything.
Why? Why can't you do anything?
Last time, my condition was so severe and yet you saved me!
This time is different. Once the blood of a fox enters a human's body, they can't be saved.
That's not it. There must be another solution. Please think!
It's not that we don't want to help. With our abilities, we won't be able to save him.
Then what about Helan? Can he help?
What are you looking at me for? This is a life and death situation!
It's okay, it's okay. Lord Helan must have a solution.
I don't want to pull him into this.
It's all because of me. If I didn't go interview Fang Jingxue, none of this would have happened.
It's all right, it's all right. There's no use in blaming yourself.
Sometimes, I just don't understand humans.
Asking us for help for something like this! Why do I have to help?
Not only helping. I really don't understand how Miss Guan thinks.
For an ex-boyfriend who cheated on her, she's looking for us to help him?
When you meet Lord Helan, don't talk like this.
Xiuxian, Kuanyong.
Were you two just talking about Miss Guan?
Lord, her ex-boyfriend who cheated on her got into an accident. He's in the hospital right now.
Miss Guan asked Xin Xiaoju to beg us to come help. Why should we save her ex-boyfriend?
He got hurt?
There is definitely something suspicious about this. Miss Guan's friend was stabbed while trying to save her.
So this means that someone wanted to hurt Pipi.
I believe that the person who wanted to hurt Miss Guan is Fang Jingxue.
Fang Jingxue?
When Pipi was hospitalized, I saw a medical history report.
[Fang Jingxue]
That person's situation was really similar to Pipi's.
At that time, the family member's signature was Fang Jingxue's.
Can it be that she's interacting with humans?
At the hospital, Fang Jingxue looked for me.
She said that if she ever had any mishaps,
she hoped I could agree to raise her child.
She has a child?
Why didn't you tell us this important information earlier, Kuanyong?
I didn't think much of it at the time. I thought it was just helping a friend.
But now, so much has happened.
If she dated a human
and gave birth to a child, that means her child must have a birth defect like mine.
Is she following in Lord Qingmu's steps?
I hope it's not like that.
How is it?
Why are you guys coming in here?
The patient is really weak right now. You can't take him away.
We are friends of the family. Don't worry.
- This won't do! You really can't take the patient away! - We're taking him out to get some fresh air. In a while, he'll be fine.
- If you don't let him go, I'll yell for someone. - Sorry, sorry. Make way.
Hey, who are you guys? Hey!
Put him down! What are you doing?
- Slowly. Be careful. - Be careful.
Kuanyong.
What do we do, Lord?
Hurry. Go up to the second floor.
Miss Xin, while Lord Helan is healing him, no one can disturb him.
Sorry.
It's all right. Don't worry. Leave it to me.
Jialin will be all right.
Sit down first.
How come there's no movement, yet? I'm so anxious.
Hey, I bought some midnight snacks. Come and eat.
Xiaoju, this is yours.
Kuanyong, this is yours.
Pipi!
Come in and eat something first. Jialin will be all right.
Sorry. I forgot to buy another set.
There are four people in total and you didn't buy another one?
That's right. I forgot.
Later, when her boyfriend wakes up, he can go buy one for her.
What? Don't be so mean.
I'm mean. I can't help it.
How did Pipi provoke you?
Yes. That person is her ex-boyfriend but you can't just leave a person to die and not do anything.
Miss Xin,
the cost of saving a person on the border of death is very high.
Lord Helan is saving him right now.
Not only will he lose all his magic,
he might also lose his own life!
Do you want to go inside and sleep?
I'm all right. I'll keep guard here.
Pipi,
both of them will definitely be fine.
How come they still haven't come down? It's been such a long time.
I'll go get you a cup of water.
Xiuxian. Kuanyong.
Are you all right?
I'm fine.
Lord, how's your body?
It's all right.
You guys... hurry and go take a look at Tao Jialin.
All right. We'll go inside and take a look at him.
I'll also go in and help.
Are you all right?
You don't look good.
I'm fine.
I'm sorry.
I didn't know that there would be such a big consequence for saving Jialin.
Don't apologize. I'm fine. Don't worry.
- How's Jialin? - He's still unconscious.
Mr. Helan, when will Tao Jialin be conscious?
It'll take a couple days. He'll be fine after some rest.
Then, let's take him home first.
All right. Let's go.
Lord!
- What's wrong? - Lord.
- How are you, Lord? - What's wrong?
I'm fine. I'm just a bit tired.
I'll lay down for a while. Go and take care of Tao Jialin.
Pipi, there's no one to take care of him. That won't work. How about you stay here?
I'll also stay.
Xiuxian, how is this related to you?
Come back with me.
- What are you saying? - Let's go.
Why are you pulling me?
- Lord! Lord! - Go, go, go.
I'll help you into the house.
Come.
- Let's go. - Xiaoju, stop playing around. All right?
- Who's playing around with you? - I still have something to do.
What do you have to do?
Lord Helan really needs me to take care of him. I have to go back and take care of him.
Lord Helan doesn't need you to take a care of him. Be good.
Weren't you looking for someone to help you? Let Kuanyong help you. All right?
Kuanyong can't handle Tao Jialin by himself.
- He can. - He can't. Trust me.
Kuanyong!
I already assisted Tao Jialin into the car. Do you have his address?
I do. Then, let's hurry and go.
All right. The problem is solved then. I'll go back first. All right?
Don't, don't, don't. Give those two some space. All right?
Lord Helan's body is really weak right now. I have to go back and take care of him.
The gaze that Pipi had when she was looking at Helan,
I've never seen her look at someone like that before.
Are you sure you want to go back and be a third wheel?
Are you sure that you didn't overthink it?
Why would I overthink it?
If you're not afraid of messing up Lord Helan's business, then go back.
Then, let's not go back tonight.
That's right. Let's go.
- How do you feel? - It's really cold.
- What? - It's really cold.
How are you? I'll go get a towel for you.
Don't go.
I'll just go get a towel for you. Wait a moment.
Don't go.
All right, I'm not leaving. I'm not leaving.
Subbing and Timing brought to you by the Love Knot Team @Viki
Pipi.
Last night, we were just being impulsive.
It didn't mean anything.
Thank you for saving Jialin.
In the future, I won't come and disturb you.
Don't come and disturb me, either.
We'll go our own ways. Let's not meet anymore.
I was almost deceived by you.
Let me save you.
That is not saving someone.
It's murder.
Using your life in exchange for my life.
Do you think I'll be happy?
Pipi, listen to me.
Twenty-five is the most beautiful age of one's life.
You can work hard for your future and expect a more beautiful tomorrow.
And you might even experience a relationship that's unforgettable.
I already have a relationship that's unforgettable.
I really don't want to see you die because of me.
You should know better than I do.
Seeing your beloved one pass away
is so painful.
I don't want to experience that type of pain.
Pipi,
I just want you to have a complete life.
How do you know that I won't have one?
Even if I can't live past twenty-five years old,
you can also give me a complete life.
Let me be your wife.
No matter if it's for a few months or a couple of days,
my life is already complete.
Pipi...
Sometimes although we are living a stable and good life,
we feel that we are lacking something.
Like when you are sick and go to the hospital alone.
Or when you sit in a restaurant, looking at the menu and think
how you must eat it all alone and not waste it.
When you work overtime and look at your phone
and see that there are no messages.
Until we meet that person. That person who tells you to drink more water.
That person who always asks if you have eaten.
That person who will always leave you messages.
Because of that person, your world seems more complete.
It smells good.
Let me get this right.
After Miss Guan's ex-boyfriend returned here,
Miss Guan said that she still loved her ex-boyfriend.
So, she dumped Lord Helan.
After she dumped Lord Helan, her ex-boyfriend was stabbed by someone and hospitalized.
Then, Miss Guan came back looking for Lord Helan, asking him to save her ex-boyfriend. Right?
So, everything I just said is all true now. Right?
What are you talking about?
- Go and take it over there. - Really.
Modern people's love progresses so quickly.
Xiuxian.
- Lord. - Actually, you misunderstood Pipi.
Pipi had her reasons.
I told you so. Right?
Right, I was just speaking nonsense.
Sit down, Miss Guan. Please sit.
You all worked hard regarding this issue.
I'm really grateful toward everyone.
- Pipi said— - I'll say it.
This time, I'm really grateful that everyone saved Jialin.
He said that he'll never forget any of you.
Miss Guan, you're too courteous.
Right. You're too courteous, Lord Helan.
In order to show your gratitude, you didn't have to do this.
Look at you. One is eating flowers and the other one is eating vegetables.
We made so much meat. You're making me feel awkward.
Anyway, you two made up.
But what I really want to know is how you guys made up.
We just naturally made up.
Then, let's give a toast and celebrate.
All right.
Congrats, Lord.
There's something else I want to tell everyone.
Pipi and I are getting married.
Oh, my!
That fast? You guys just made up and you're already getting married?
Pipi...
Don't cry.
I'm not crying. I'm just so happy for you.
You guys... when are you guys getting married? Do you want me to help you prepare for your wedding?
Where do you want to get married? When do you want to get married?
What wedding dress color do you like? What suit brand do you like?
How many guests will there be?
Where are you going to hold the wedding? How long do you want the wedding to be?
We can help them handle everything, right?
Right. No problem. Just leave it all to us.
You don't have to worry about anything regarding the wedding.
You and Helan can have fun and go on a vacation together.
Meanwhile, we can plan your wedding. Then you two can relax and have the wedding when you return.
- Then, I'll have to trouble you. - It's no problem.
The sooner, the better.
Okay. Don't worry.
Don't secretly eat any.
I haven't.
Then, why are you moving your chopsticks?
I'm just tasting it to see if it's salty or not.
What do you mean salty or not? My dishes are never salty. Stop tasting it.
Your dishes have never been not salty.
What smells so good?
- You came back? - You came back?
- Come. - Come, come.
Wait. There's still one more dish.
This extravagant?
She's been working on this ever since she woke up this morning. It's all your favorites.
What about Helan?
He's a bit busy lately.
This weekend, I can't keep you company.
I'm going out to have fun with Helan and the others.
It's a good thing. I support you.
Youngsters should go out and walk more.
When you get old and you want to get out, you won't have time.
Here. Eat more.
Thanks, Mom.
I'll tell you guys right now. I'm afraid that I'll forget about it later.
- What is it? - Mom, I'm giving these to you.
What is this?
I bought two insurance policies.
Why did you buy them?
My friend recommended these to me,
so I just followed the flow.
Just think of it as part of your portfolio.
Look at that. Our daughter knows finance now.
All right. I'll accept them.
- Don't give it to me. - Eat some more.
Dad, quick, eat some.
Don't say that I didn't give you a chance.
It's you that couldn't take hold of the opportunity.
Right now, Guan Pipi has already escaped.
What do you want me to do now?
Sorry. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have let her escape.
Is there no other method?
No matter what the consequence, I'm willing to do it.
I beg you.
It's all my fault. I'm sorry.
The Golden Flower Mirror...
Maybe there's another solution written on it.
You can take a look at it.
The Golden Flower Mirror is just a useless piece of metal. That's all.
What did you say?
It's just a normal mirror. Even I don't know when
everyone started treating it as a treasure. It's really ridiculous.
You're saying that the words on it
weren't a method for saving my child?
Did I say that?
Let me think about it. It seems like I remembered them incorrectly.
Why did you lie to me?
You even made me go and try to kill someone.
- I didn't tell you to go kill anyone. You went and tried killing the person yourself. - No way.
No way. I'll go and look for Princess Zhaoyan.
I'll ask her about it in person!
You gave birth to a half-human bastard.
Are you brazen enough to go see Princess Zhaoyan?
Say that again! What did you say?
I'll tell you one more time.
Princess Zhaoyan... doesn't want to see...
any hybrids in this world,
and that includes your child!
Left High Priest, you came just in time.
What are you doing?
At first, I thought she would hurt Guan Pipi,
so in order to save her, Helan Jingting—
Even so, you didn't need to kill her.
Lord,
are you being soft-hearted?
Forgive my words. You want to sit in Lord Qingmu's position, yet you can't do the things he can do.
What does that mean?
What I mean is that in this world,
you can be happy by being a good person. You can also be happy by being a bad person.
Do you know what type of person won't make you happy?
The one that wants to be both a good person
and a bad person. A loser.
