1

Once upon a time, there was a planet far away in outer space.

2

The environment there was almost the same as Earth's.

3

So, of course, there were aliens living on it.

4

After a long process of evolution, those aliens

5

established their own civilization.

6

One day, their scientists predicted that their galaxy was going to collapse.

7

To escape, they immigrated to other planets in the universe by spaceship.

8

And one group of them came to Earth.

9

They called themselves the Fox Clan.

10

Ancient men on Earth were shocked when they saw them.

11

An ancient book reads that a huge ship-like object flew above the western sea.

12

The people in it wore hats, had white feathers all over their bodies and flew high in the sky with no wings.

13

That is the first impression the Fox Clan made on humans.

14

To adapt to the environment on Earth, the Fox Clan never stopped evolving.

15

Finally, they began to look like humans and gradually fit in with them.

16

Since ancient times, the conflict between humans and the Fox Clan never ended.

17

There was a government proofreading official named Dai Fu,

18

who was especially interested in the love between foxes and humans.

19

He believed love could overcome everything.

20

After Dai Fu died, his son collected all of the stories he had written.

21

He called it "Guang Yi Ji" and had it published.

(The Great Book of Marvels)

22

It was quite popular among its readers.

23

After storytellers added more details, the stories spread even further.

24

But humans began to fear foxes, instead of just being curious.

25

Foxes noticed that humans were getting less and less friendly.

26

They had to hide their identity in this world.

30

Darn it, where did she go? Did she run over there?

31

- Go and search over there.

- Yes!

32

You, follow me!

33

Don't let her escape!

34

You go over there!

35

- There are others! Follow me.

- Don't be afraid.

36

Take off this cloak.

37

There's ruby sulfur on it. Their dogs will find you.

38

I'll distract them. Wait for me here.

39

She ran toward the cliff!

40

Wait for me to come back.

41

They're over there! Hurry and chase after them!

42

You're awake?

43

Do you know? Those silly dogs will probably have their masters running up and down the mountains the entire night.

44

Don't move.

45

The northern fox clan was right.

46

We should have stayed away from humans.

47

I heard my mother is a human,

48

but I was never able to meet her.

49

She gave me life and then she died herself.

50

Once I was born, I was blind.

51

During that time, I often thought I should just die, since life held no meaning.

52

But then, another human sacrificed itself and saved me.

53

You are... Lord Helan?

54

That's right.

55

The guideline for judgment cannot be simply whether one is fox or human.

56

Don't rush to hate in order to avoid being hurt.

57

In doing this, you give a gift to yourself.

58

Director Qianhua,

59

that Miss Wang is here again. She's been squatting out there for days now.

60

Do you want to...

61

She's only an ordinary mortal. Let her be.

62

Yes, ma'am.

63

Jialin said he would come when he's finished over there.

64

Okay.

65

What are you looking at?

66

The man that just walked over there. Xiaoju seems to like him.

67

Isn't the one next to him his girlfriend?

68

Probably. He originally said they broke up.

69

So I don't know how they got back together. If Xiaoju sees them together,

70

she'll definitely be sad.

71

Let's go, Senior Sister. Let's go dance.

72

Pipi, let's go. Let's go dance together.

73

I'm not going. You guys go. I'll wait for Jialin.

74

Let's go dance for a while. Let's dance and then wait.

75

You guys go and play. I'm not going.

76

Xiaoju?

77

Is it Xiaoju?

78

Why are you two here?

79

Our department is here for a farewell party.

80

You're having a farewell party here? Pipi, are you also here for the farewell party?

81

I'm waiting for Jialin.

82

Senior Sister, let's go and dance.

83

Xiaoju, you're just in time. You keep Pipi company and we'll go dance for a while.

84

It's not... like that...

85

I... still have something to do.

86

What do you have to do?

87

My friend's girlfriend is having her birthday party so I came to play.

88

What friend? It's Chen Nan, right?

89

How did you know?

90

We just went by him awhile ago. That girl...

91

She's his girlfriend, right?

92

That should be his girlfriend.

93

Why are you looking at me like that?

94

Stop getting tangled up with him.

95

Don't worry, it's just a birthday celebration. It's all right.

96

Wait for me here. In a while, I'll come and look for you.

97

Xiaoju, stay with me for a while. I'm a bit scared.

98

There are so many people. What are you scared of?

99

Are you afraid that a fox will eat you?

100

It's all right. In a while, I'll come and look for you. Sit down and be good.

101

Why are the both of you here?

102

What a coincidence. Miss Guan, you're also here?

103

Did you two smell my scent and come here to get me?

104

Miss Guan, aren't you being too paranoid?

105

We're here to look for Xiaoju.

106

Xiaoju?

107

Why are you looking for Xiaoju?

108

Is she with Chen Nan?

109

Yes.

110

Where is she?

111

Over there.

112

Thank you.

113

- Everyone!

- Cheers!

114

- Happy birthday!

- Happy birthday!

- Thanks.

115

- Drink a glass.

- All right!

116

Why did you come here?

117

Don't go.

118

I'm just doing my friend a favor.

119

How are you friends with that person? Aren't you usually smart?

120

Why do you become a stupid pig once you see him?

121

What right does a fox have to look down on pigs?

122

Go over there.

123

I'm not finished talking.

124

Then... Then, you guys talk first.

125

What do you have to say?

126

Can't you see that he's using you?

127

So what if he's using me? At least, I'm still useful.

128

Xin Xiaoju.

129

Sorry.

130

What are you looking at?

131

News.

132

Who comes to a club and still plays on their phone?

133

- Are you alone?

- That's right.

134

It looks like you have a girlfriend. What a good man.

135

Miss, do you have a boyfriend?

136

Me? I'm single.

137

Who would have known such a beautiful girl would be single.

138

- What about you?

- What a coincidence. I'm also single.

139

Then such a handsome man is also single?

140

My WeChat.

141

Good intentions should be thoughtfully received;

142

doesn't matter if they come from an ex- or a friend.

143

- More importantly, you shouldn't use her good intentions for your absurd requests.

- That's enough.

144

You can go over there first. I'll come look for you.

145

All right. I'll wait for you over there.

146

Xiuxian, what are you doing?

147

Do you think I didn't know? Do you think I wanted to come?

148

Back then, it was me who was too naive. It was me who was too selfish, and it was me who didn't know my position.

149

Wanting things that don't belong to me,

150

but now I understand.

151

So, today, I'm here to end it.

152

I want myself to remember forever that I'm not worth it.

153

Pipi.

154

Jialin, I searched for you all day.

155

I have something that I wanted to tell you.

156

- Actually, I have something to tell you, too—

- Jialin, you came?

157

I have something that I need to discuss with Jialin. Let me borrow him for a moment, Pipi.

158

Cheers!

159

Come, Xiaoju.

160

This is Xiaoju.

161

Happy birthday.

162

It's like this. Last time, I was afraid that you

163

would misunderstand us, so Xiaoju and I came over to explain it. Right?

164

It's actually like this, Chen Nan and I are actually not that close.

165

It's because you both come to the coffee shop often and I saw you fighting so I helped him make a decision. Don't misun--

166

Do you have a lot of spare time? If my boyfriend and I are arguing, that's none of your business.

167

You also pretended to be his girlfriend and lied to me.

168

Did you even look in the mirror and see if you were worth it?

169

Let me tell you, for women like you, there won't be any man to ever like you.

170

- That's enough. Don't say any more.

- Don't touch me!

171

Who says she has no men to like her? You look like a human, so how come you're not talking like a human?

172

Who are you?

173

- I'm her boyfriend.

- What are you doing?

174

What am I doing? What is there to be shy about?

175

You've even got a boyfriend and you're still clinging to my Chen Nan, you've really got guts.

176

Say that again.

177

Lady, please, be polite to my girlfriend.

178

Hey, whose girlfriend is she?

179

It's like this. Both of us are pursuing her at the same time.

180

It's just that she hasn't chosen whom she wants to be with yet.

181

- It's Chen Nan, right?

- What is it?

182

Our girlfriend is very, very nice.

183

She's always willing to help her friends.

184

But you? You misused her good intentions again and again.

185

You make it impossible to hold back. Also, one more thing you need to be clear about.

186

She's worthy of anyone. It's you that isn't worthy of her.

187

Look at me! In the future, don't come and bother her

188

or else I won't let go of you.

189

All right.

190

By the way, just now there was a girl who said she was single and gave me her WeChat.

191

Vivian90018. You should also recognize the handwriting well.

192

- What does this mean?

- What meaning is there?

- Are you still all right?

193

- He pretended and tricked me.

- Thank you both.

194

Does it feel like you got revenge? Yes!

195

Did you use me to your satisfaction?

196

I'll invite you to sandwiches.

197

- You're invited, too.

- Okay.

198

Don't you think Pipi is a little off today? Let's not tell her today.

199

No. Didn't we say that we're going to tell Pipi right away and not hide it from her?

200

That's what we said but I've never seen her this weird before. It's like she's in a trance.

201

What are you saying? What do you mean in a trance?

202

Today, I saw her touch a stranger's head.

203

That man also bowed to her. Don't you think that's weird?

204

You're thinking too much. It's all right.

205

Anyway... Anyway, let's not tell her right away today. Will that do?

206

All right then. I'll take Pipi back home first.

207

If she isn't in that great of condition, it's not good for her to be at a club, either.

208

After I take her home, I'll come back here and look for you.

209

Subbing and Timing brought to you by the Love Knot Team @viki.com

210

Don't come over here!

211

- Miss Guan, I have no bad intentions.

- What are you doing?

212

Why do you keep trying to get close to me? I already said I have a boyfriend.

213

- Miss Guan, listen to my explanation. All right?

- Don't come near me.

214

- Are you all right?

- Jialin.

215

What's the problem, mister?

216

Miss Guan, listen to my explanation. All right?

217

She doesn't want to even talk to you! I'm warning you to stay away from her!

218

I'm her boyfriend. If you have something to say, then tell me.

219

Lord Helan, you're scaring them like this. Let's leave first.

220

Lord Helan, right now, there are too many people outside. We should stay away from them.

221

It's all right. It's all right. It's all right.

222

[Taxi-Meter]

223

- Mister.

- Jialin.

224

I want to quit my job at the magazine office.

225

Why?

226

I think that job isn't suitable for me.

227

I also don't want to go on interviews all day.

228

In the future, I want to learn English.

229

All right.

230

Mister, let's go.

231

[What are foxes afraid of?]

232

[Foxes are most afraid of...]

233

[Foxes fear ruby sulphur.]

234

I'm dead tired.

235

Hello.

236

Hello, Xiaoju. Where are you?

237

Where else would I be? I'm at the shop.

238

Those... Those two strange men. Are they at the shop?

239

How did you know they came here?

240

These two people...

241

These two foxes come here every day.

242

- Wait for me. I'll come there immediately.

- What?

243

All right.

244

Let's stop coming here. I'm tired of eating the sandwiches from here.

245

I'm not. I think it's quite tasty.

246

At most, you'll have to take it three times. You should be well by then.

247

Miss, what medicine would you like to buy?

248

Do you happen to have ruby sulfur?

249

Are you using it for yourself?

250

If you eat that, you'll vomit and get diarrhea.

251

No, it's not for eating. I was using it... using it for washing my feet.

252

Can you give me a bit more?

253

Then, wait a minute.

254

Here you are.

255

I dropped something.

256

Eat.

257

Do you smell it?

258

First, don't be impulsive. We still don't know what's going on.

259

Sit down.

260

Hello, guys.

261

There's something that I want you guys to help me with.

262

May I sit down and talk?

263

Can I... ask you guys to please

264

invite Mr. Helan out?

265

There is something I want to say to him.

266

What do you want to tell him?

267

Miss Guan, what does this mean?

268

What's the thing in your bag?

269

How did you know?

270

- I... I didn't.

- You didn't what? Then, please

271

explain—

- Miss Guan, I hope you can understand.

272

The thing you have in your bag is something really bad for Lord Helan.

273

Lord Helan revealed to you his real identity.

274

He had no bad intentions; and moreover, he won't hurt you.

275

Is it necessary for you do this?

276

I'm just a bit scared.

277

These past two days, I met a lot of strange people and strange things happened.

278

I just want to use it as protection.

279

Don't worry, I won't do anything to him.

280

Can you help me meet with him?

281

What I want to say to him is really very important.

282

I'm sorry, Miss Guan.

283

We have our duty, too.

284

We can't let you meet with him.

285

Forget it. Let Lord Helan decide for himself.

286

Kuanyong.

287

Please, tell him for me, that

288

I'll treat him to lunch...

289

at the Muyu Restaurant next door.

290

All right.

291

Thank you.

292

I'll leave the money here.

293

Pipi,

294

what did you guys talk about? Why did they leave?

295

Nothing.

296

Kuanyong,

297

how is this outfit? Is it suitable?

298

I don't think it's suitable.

299

How is it not suitable?

300

Is it the color unsuitable or it is the style?

301

The time. Lord Helan, I think the time isn't right.

302

What time?

303

Miss Guan has completely misunderstood us, and your intentions.

304

Also, right now, her mental state is not very stable.

305

Then, she suddenly invites you out to meet with her.

306

I think this is not the best time to solve this problem.

307

Kuanyong,

308

I've looked for her for so long and finally, I've met her again.

309

I thought this relationship was fated,

310

but suddenly, I find that I was wrong.

311

There's no relationship that's perfect, right?

312

It's because of this misunderstanding,

313

I put too little effort into this relationship.

314

She gave up so much for me, sacrificing herself so many times.

315

If I'm afraid of being misunderstood and I avoid it,

316

then nothing will be solved.

317

I've also done things for her.

318

Even if at the end, she still can't change her mind,

319

then I won't have any regrets. Right?

320

Let's go.

321

- Lord Helan.

- Don't say anything more. I've made up my mind.

322

You didn't zip up your zipper.

323

It's comfortable.

324

Miss Guan, you waited for a long time.

325

How did you know I sat...

326

Oh, I forgot. You planted a scent on me.

327

"Planting a scent" shouldn't be a part of your vocabulary.

328

You said you're paying, right?

329

That's right.

330

Then, I won't be polite.

331

Waiter, we'll order, now.

332

Hello, to you both. Here's the menu.

333

Thanks.

334

Sorry, I can't see the menu. Can you tell me the day's specials?

335

Certainly. Today we recommend the roast pigeon with caviar.

336

The lamb chops are also very good.

337

Of course, the beef is also not bad.

338

- We'll share.

- That's fine.

339

Then, I'll order the small portion for both of you.

340

Pardon, but... can we just order half a portion?

341

Sorry, the smallest amount is the small portion.

342

What about vegetables and seafood?

343

For vegetables, the fresh vegetables with aloe and shrimp are pretty good.

344

For seafood, I recommend today's fried trout.

345

- Bring an order of that as well.

- All right.

346

Is there anything else you need?

347

No.

348

Didn't you say that you don't eat human food?

349

I don't eat it. I ordered it for you to eat.

350

All right, then I'll place your orders.

351

Excuse me.

352

Please, grind the ingredients in this box and add them to ice water and honey.

353

- Thanks.

- All right.

354

Sir, this is your special beverage.

355

Thanks.

356

Miss Guan, eat it while it's hot.

357

It's only realgar. Don't fuss over it.

[Realgar = ruby sulfur]

358

Mr. Helan, I want to discuss something with you.

359

Say it.

360

Why plant a fragrance on me? What am I to you?

361

Planting fragrance is a courtesy. It is a way to show that I respect you.

362

Then, what about the Pearl of Charm? What does it mean? How come I can't take it off no matter how hard I try?

363

The Pearl of Charm is just a present to show how much I like you.

364

I hope that you can like me, too.

365

I can't do that. I already told you I have a boyfriend.

366

I know. You don't have to keep reminding me.

367

I just want to know why you've approached me.

368

I want you to be happy.

369

I'm already very blissful.

370

That's only temporary.

371

What does that mean?

372

You came to see me with ruby sulphur. Are you trying to harm me?

373

Are you really afraid of ruby sulfur?

374

Will it change you back into a fox?

375

Do you want to try?

376

No need. No need.

377

I just hope you will take the charm back and in the future, not come and disturb me anymore.

378

Do I scare you that much?

379

What are you going to do?

380

Waiter! May I ask if there is a first aid kit?

381

Is this what you wanted to see?

382

Planting fragrance and giving you the Pearl of Charm helps me find you anywhere,

383

so that I can protect you, but I can take them back if you don't want them!

384

Also, do you think I don't feel pain?

385

There's an invisible line between individuals.

386

It's like a borderline between two countries.

387

As long as you don't cross the line, everyone will be safe.

388

I'm her boyfriend.

389

When that line comes into view,

390

you see it clearly, but can't hold back.

391

So you cross, quietly, with a tiny movement or a simple word.

392

In this way, you end the peace and start a war.

393

Sir, come inside please.

394

Director Qinhua, your guest has arrived.

395

Who would have thought that I, Zhao Song, would see the day

396

when you invite me to your house.

397

The color is pure.

398

The smell is nice, especially since it's your scent.

399

It is so uplifting and relaxing.

400

Say it, why are you looking for me?

401

I want to go to the north.

402

The north?

403

That desolate and poor place, why?

404

Lord Helan wants me to go see the Head Priest, Lord Qingmu, in his stead.

405

The Northern and the Southern Fox Clans haven't been in contact for years. There are many inconveniences.

406

Help me, Left Priest. This is my request. Lend me the Northern Fox Clan's token.

407

Qianhua, your excuse is a bit weak.

408

It's not like I don't know Ah Xi's rotten temper.

409

They haven't contacted each other in centuries. If I learned anything from our last conversation,

410

he just wants you to gather information.

411

All right, stop stalling. What is your real mission?

412

The tradition of taking livers in human sacrifices.

413

The practice was abandoned long ago, because of its cruelty.

414

Lord Qingmu has used this method to treat Ah Xi's eyes,

415

but it was imperfect and left us with many questions.

416

Really?

417

I have found some ancient documents related to the ceremony,

418

but there is a large portion that I cannot decipher.

419

I need the help of the elders who still live in the North.

420

But if I force my way into the Northern Clan's territory,

421

there definitely will be a lot of unnecessary trouble.

422

Then, if I help you, what do I get?

423

What do you want?

424

What I want?

425

This question, you're still asking me?

426

We can talk about other requests.

427

I have no other request.

428

Exactly, what about Helan Jingting inspires you to do all these things?

429

I just want to help him.

430
