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 crowns, had white feathers all over their bodies,

13

and flew high in the sky with no wings.

14

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

15

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

16

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

17

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

18

There was a government proofreading official named Dai Fu,

19

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

25

instead of just being curious.

26

They had to hide their identity in this world.

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

30

You should drink some flower water.

31

Sorry. I won't ever make you eat the human food I make.

32

But you can make me some more flower water to drink.

33

I think the flower water you make is pretty tasty.

34

Really?

35

Really!

36

Do you know there's something we humans call

chrysanthemum tea?

37

There is also chamomile tea, hibiscus tea, and many others.

38

When my father and mother came home tired, I would brew some for them to drink.

39

No wonder!

40

It's just that you can't eat human food.

41

The dishes I make are actually ten thousand times better than this flower water.

42

Do you know that my family only eats the dishes I make?

43

Also, my siblings grew even taller than you, after eating my dishes.

44

Is that right? Then, I must eat your dishes whenever I get better.

45

You don't know? I thought you knew.

46

Hasn't Lord Qingmu said that you'll be healed and back to normal soon?

47

What do you mean?

48

I overheard Lord Qingmu talking to someone who said it.

49

What else did they say?

50

They said something about breaking a curse.

51

Father has told me there is a medicine that can heal my eyes.

52

But it can only be used once when I become an adult.

53

It seems like there is quite a lot of hearsay in the Fox Clan.

54

I also heard another one; the Fox Flower.

55

- The Fox Flower?

- Yes.

- What does it look like?

56

I don't know what it looks like, either. It comes from our Fox Planet,

57

but they say that it has twelve petals.

58

Also, if someone is marked with the Fox Flower,

59

they will never live past the flowering age.

60

When is that?

61

That is when one has 24 years.

62

Thank goodness, I don't have it.

63

Anyway, I just want you to heal quickly. That way I can make you delicious meals.

64

Okay.

65

[Resignation Letter]

66

I was too stubborn back then.

67

I didn't understand or agree with the concept of paparazzi magazines.

68

I lost my direction in this process.

69

I have something to tell you.

70

You can say it from there.

71

May I come in?

72

The rainy season starts next week.

73

We can choose an auspicious day

74

and announce that Left High Priest is officially marrying Tushan Qianhua.

75

Of course, we are only doing this to lure out Princess Zhaoyan.

76

We?

77

And then?

78

And then?

79

And then we divorce?

80

And then you'll have nothing left to do here. You'll turn around and leave, leaving me here alone?

81

Afterward, everyone, including my brothers and sisters, will come to see my misfortune. Everyone.

82

Everyone is watching.

83

"Are you happy now? Satisfied now?"

84

Through all these years, I have done so many things for you. Do you not

85

appreciate even just a bit of it?

86

You've never considered my feelings.

87

Step aside! Step aside!

88

Before 6 o'clock...

89

everything has to be delivered to the printer. And Wang Dawei's poster...

90

Reduce the gamut range. Where's Xiaoyu?

91

Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu.

92

My succulent plant... Remember to water it for me.

93

Also, the case regarding Fang Jingxue--

94

Editor, I need to work on the 10th Anniversary edition. I really don't have time for Fang Jingxue's case.

95

- Boss, I came here to give you my—

- It's too late.

96

- I'll call the ambulance.

- I'll come with you to the hospital.

97

- Boss, just a bit longer!

- Quick! Go call the doctor!

98

Nurse!

99

Boss, before I said that this job was not suitable for me,

100

but I've thought about it. I'll work harder. Can you give me one more chance?

101

Honey, I am here. This day is finally here. Rest assured, I will record everything.

102

Go, go, go! Quick, quick!

103

Don't worry, dear! I'll be responsible for the child.

104

I'm here! Don't be nervous. Relax.

105

Deep breaths!

106

- Deep breath! You can do it!

- Use strength! Use strength!

107

- Be strong! Be strong!

- Go out!

108

You can do it, honey!

109

You got kicked out, too?

110

Yes, by someone.

111

- I'm Fang Jianguo.

- Zhang Cheng.

112

Hello, hello.

113

I'm Sister Qingtan's former coworker. My name is Guan Pipi.

114

- Ah.

- Hello, I'm her lover.

115

I'm the baby's father.

116

No, no! It was after we divorced

117

that I found out she was pregnant.

118

She met me after that.

119

Remember to transfer the alimony on time.

120

Thank you.

121

- It's out!

- It's out! It's out!

122

I didn't realize that she would give birth this soon.

123

This is like a continuation of our own lives.

124

At first I wanted more than one,

125

but looking at how hard it was for her, I really don't have the heart.

126

- It's going to be much harder to raise the baby.

- Right. Make sure to give us the alimony today.

127

You already said that. I know.

128

Pipi, thank you for helping today.

129

Don't say it like that, Sister Qingtan.

130

- Regarding work—

- Sister Qingtan.

131

I know I shouldn't have come to find you so recklessly today.

132

I quit willfully back then.

133

My suddenly asking for another chance makes it hard on you, I know.

134

What are you saying? I'm really happy that you can come back.

135

Really?

136

Look, I just gave birth to my child.

137

I won't be able to go back to work for a while.

138

Right now, the magazine company is low on staff.

139

Why don't you go and continue Xiaoyu's work on the Fang Jingxue project?

140

I will work really hard! Thank you, Sister Qingtan.

141

I should be the one thanking you.

142

I also want to take this opportunity to get some rest.

143

It will give me some time to recover and enjoy my honeymoon.

144

Recover? Come to my house. This is my baby, too. I have everything prepared for you.

145

You have to go on a honeymoon with the person you love the most and that's me.

146

Sister Qingtan, I admire you more and more.

147

Right, you should really put in more effort.

148

If you really want to be a reporter, your current skills won't suffice.

149

Maybe you can put all your energy together and get a higher degree.

150

You should aim for the best; journalism at Hua University.

151

Can I really do it, Sister Qingtan?

152

You can!

153

In the future, our baby should study journalism, too.

154

My baby will study for a master's and PhD together.

155

It's still very dangerous for you.

156

Why are you here?

157

It's dark out. I need to protect you.

158

- Did you wait long?

- Not really.

159

What about you? Did it go smoothly?

160

It definitely went smoothly.

161

Sister Qingtan agreed to let me go back to work.

162

Why does it look like you're not happy?

163

I'm not unhappy. It's just that Sister Qingtan told me that my skills aren't good enough.

164

She wants me to get a higher degree.

165

Is it hard to get one?

166

Of course, it's hard!

167

Before, I couldn't even get into a university.

168

It's okay. You can do whatever you set your mind to do.

169

- What if I give up?

- Why do you want to give up?

170

You don't know. Hua University only accepts 30 journalism majors a year.

171

They won't accept me for sure.

172

Do you remember the first time we had dinner together?

173

You told me your dream job was to become an environmental news reporter.

174

Back then, your eyes were full of confidence and hope. How come that has disappeared now?

175

Maybe back then, I was being unrealistic.

176

I tend to think things will be easy.

177

Actually, no matter if it's love or work,

178

it doesn't go according to plan.

179

Of course, nothing can be done just by thinking about it.

180

You need to really work for it. But think on the bright side,

181

you're not just day-dreaming. You're actually trying to go for it.

182

Then... do you really think I can do it?

183

Just try it! How will you know if you'll succeed or not if you don't try?

184

You're right!

185

Right, since you have to go back to work,

186

I won't be able to see you during the daytime.

187

You can't see me anyway. You can't see during daylight. You forgot?

188

Okay, then since I can't see you during daylight,

189

stay a little longer with me at night. Come home with me.

190

Tianxin, why don't you leave that razor?

191

When we come back, we can still use it.

192

How about not taking the fan, either?

193

Jialin, I have something that I want to tell you.

194

I've thought about it for a long time.

195

In the past, I looked down a bit on Pipi.

196

I always felt that sacrificing your own life plans for someone else

197

was just foolish.

198

But once I came to America, I realized

199

that what Pipi could do, I might not be able to do.

200

I actually

201

don't just want to be Tao Jialin's girlfriend.

202

I want to be Tianxin.

203

You mean that being my girlfriend

204

will make you forget how to be yourself? Is that what you mean?

205

Jialin, are you willing to be just Tianxin's boyfriend?

206

Are you all right, Lord?

207

Lord, do you want to take a rest?

208

No, no. It's you who should rest.

209

You should rest. Rest for a few minutes.

210

Alcohol.

211

Brother Song.

212

Lady Qianhua.

213

Do you have to be like this?

214

Be like what? I didn't do anything.

215

Open the alcohol for Lady Qianhua! Open the alcohol.

216

Rest first. I have something to tell you.

217

Zhao Song, stop fighting. You drank too much, Zhao Song.

218

Zhao Song. Zhao Song, don't be like this. All right?

219

Can you listen to what I say?

220

All right. Do whatever you want to do. Just give me a minute.

221

I already gave you so many centuries.

222

Are you all right? Are you okay?

223

Here. Get up first.

224

Attention, everyone! Everyone pay attention!

225

Good news!

226

I want to let everyone know that soon I will marry

227

my fiancée, Tushan's Qianhua.

228

- Zhao Song.

- So,

229

everyone here, you have to attend my wedding! You have to come!

230

- Zhao Song.

- All right!

231

You have to come.

232

- Come down first. Come down first.

- All right!

233

Will that do?

234

Let go!

235

I'm his fiancée. I'll do it.

236

She's my fiancée. Let her do it.

237

Of course, my fiancée has to do it.

238

My financée.

239

How is it, fiancée? Where are we going to host our wedding?

240

You're drunk. Let's talk when you're sober.

241

I'm not drunk. If there are any issues, let's talk about it right now!

242

I have something to talk about privately with Brother Song.

243

Say it.

244

I went too far with this.

245

If you're not willing, then just pretend like I didn't say anything.

246

- You're back?

- I'm back.

247

You've finally come back.

248

- Thanks.

- By the way, how is Sister Qingtan?

249

She's quite well. She already gave birth.

250

By the way, she told me to come back and help you investigate the Fang Jingxue case.

251

That's great. Do you know how busy I am lately?

252

Tell me, what happened exactly?

253

Thanks.

254

You're welcome. I don't know a thing about her.

255

Fang Jingxue is an actress who typically sticks to indie films or art films.

256

But ever since she acted in the horror movie, "Possessed," she hasn't appeared in public.

257

Some people say she's depressed because she invested too much effort in the movie.

258

Others say that she got married and had a child.

259

My favorite rumor is...

260

that she's really possessed because the movie set was haunted.

261

That can't be true, can it?

262

Maybe everyone is just overthinking it.

263

She won Best Actress recently and didn't even show up to get her award.

264

It's possible that she just doesn't like publicity.

265

I don't know. Anyway, this is all the information I have on her.

266

Thanks.

267

Pipi, thank you for the coffee.

268

Nothing happened recently, right? We were quite worried about you.

269

That's right, Pipi. You weren't heartbroken, right?

270

Didn't you say you were busy?

271

It's all right. I'm fine.

272

What are you searching for?

273

Didn't we just say that we're researching the Fang Jingxue case?

274

Did I ask you?

275

That's right. I'm researching the Fang Jingxue case.

276

Sister Qingtan isn't here. If you have any problems, you can look for me.

277

All right. Thanks.

278

I'll look at this information first.

279

Sure, go ahead. Look.

280

What? Do you know her? Have you ever seen her?

281

I've seen her movie before.

282

Which movie?

283

- "Possessed."

- Is it good?

284

- It's all right.

- "Possessed" hasn't been released, yet.

285

All right. Get busy.

286

[RALPH]

287

I remember taking two pictures back then.

288

Pipi? Why did you come through the back door?

289

I feel like someone is following me.

290

Following you?

291

There's no one.

292

Can it be that you're still not cured? Or you took the wrong medicine and are hallucinating?

293

No. It's for real.

294

There really is someone.

295

What is this? Private documents?

296

It's a file from the magazine.

297

You went back to work at the magazine office?

298

This time I decided to focus on work.

299

- By the way, I'll let you see something.

- Okay.

300

Do you still remember her?

301

I don't remember.

302

- I remember you asked for her autograph at the party—

- I don't know her.

303

Welcome. Do you want to something to drink?

304

Espresso. Thanks.

305

Pipi, what a coincidence. You're also here?

306

Sister Xuan, why are you...

307

I just finished an interview nearby and stopped in to have a drink.

308

What's going on? No leads?

309

How about I help you? I know the PR person in Fang Jingxue's company well.

310

No need.

311

What? You're not willing?

312

That's not it.

313

If it's not like that, I'll help you by calling.

314

Miss Wang, I thought we had a deal.

315

You would try your best to keep Mike's incident off the radar.

316

If you do, you will definitely benefit from it.

317

I'm not interested in rumors about those young people.

318

Oh. Then, you're looking for...

319

Are you close to Fang Jingxue?

320

Why are you suddenly asking about her?

321

Recently, there's no news about her. Have you seen her at your company?

322

You all know about this news. She is indeed heartbroken.

323

No one at the company could contact her for about six months.

324

- Sorry. Sorry, sorry!

- What are you doing? What's going on?

325

Our boss, Mr. Huang, has gone crazy looking for her.

326

Where's her manager? Doesn't she have a manager?

327

She's had about ten managers in three years. Nobody dares to take her on anymore.

328

Is she in love? Does she have a partner?

329

Stop messing around. With that arrogant personality of hers, who would she like?

330

Actually, there was an incident when she was filming recently.

331

Incident?

332

What incident?

333

She vomited a couple times.

334

Then... is she pregnant?

335

If that's the case, then are all the online rumors true?

336

I'll say it to you like this. The news that is on the internet,

337

most of it is true.

338

Looks like she went overseas to have a baby. No wonder there's no news about her here.

339

But she's in this country.

340

How do you know?

341

That movie was filmed a year ago, it seems.

342

Even if she went overseas to give birth, she should already be back.

343

Thanks.

344

No problem.

345

It's been so long since I've gone to school.

346

Does it feel nice to go to class again?

347

This won't do. This won't do.

348

I haven't studied in a long time. I don't think I can catch up. I should leave.

349

Don't get scared. Be confident in yourself. Have confidence, all right?

350

You can do it. Come on.

351

Come. Come, come.

352

- Quick. Look!

- I haven't seen him before. Who is he?

353

You actually don't need to keep me company. I can do it alone.

354

That won't do. I still don't know who's following you, so, I'm not at ease.

355

Maybe I'm overthinking it. There's probably no one following me.

356

I'll keep you company.

357

Do you want to drink water?

358

I'll drink it later.

359

Students, time for class.

360

Don't be nervous, all right?

361

Time for class. Time for class!

362

The three basic principles of dialectics:

363

unity of opposites, quantitative and qualitative changes, and negation of the negation.

364

Don't just look at the handsome guy in the back.

365

Your teacher isn't bad, either.

366

First, we'll talk about the unity of opposites.

367

Everything has its opposite, but can also be tied to other things.

368

Quick. Take notes.

369

This student.

370

Student! I'm talking about you.

371

Where's your book?

372

- My book, I—

- Teacher, he forgot to bring his book today, so we're sharing my book.

373

I'm asking him. Where is your book?

374

I memorized it by heart.

375

You memorized it by heart?

376

All the knowledge you're about to share...

377

You remember everything I just taught, right?

378

Okay, fine. I talked about the unity of opposites.

379

You can tell us about quantitative and qualitative changes.

380

Quantitative and qualitative changes:

381

"The development of everything is a process of the qualitative change shifting from the quantitative.

382

The quantitative change can influence the qualitative change to a certain level which leads to better development.

383

And the new measurements of change will occur with the basics of the new qualitative changes.

384

Quantitive change is the foundation and necessary preparation for a qualitative change.

385

Qualitative change is the ultimate result of a quantitive change.

386

The shifting interchange between them shows the state of everything and its development."

387

How was that? Did I say the exact same thing that was written in the book?

388

Let's talk.

389

I thought a lot about the wedding. I shouldn't use helping Helan as an excuse,

390

and view your wedding as a joke.

391

I was too selfish. Regarding Helan's issue, I'll think of a solution myself.

392

Just pretend like I've never spoken of a wedding.

393

There is a question I've wanted to ask you to your face.

394

Why does Helan Jingting only eat flower petals?

395

How would I know? But what does that have to do with you?

396

Is it wrong for me to take an interest in Fox Clan's Right High Priest?

397

Can you talk to me seriously?

398

How could I not be serious? I've waited for this chance for so many centuries.

399

Why is it flipped around right now?

400

I told you before. I'm at fault in this matter.

401

Why are you pulling Ah Xi into it?

402

Helan Jingting only eats flower petals. He doesn't eat anything else.

403

In all of the Fox Clan, this is unique.

404

I was wondering if it had anything to do with his human genes.

405

Why the sudden interest in his genes?

406

Isn't that what draws your interest?

407

Why other motives do you have?

408

Motives? Whatever I do, I'll have motives for doing it.

409

As for the wedding preparations, we'll do it according to the Northern tradition.

410

I've already given the orders.

411

I also invited some of the elders. Tomorrow morning,

412

they will perform an engagement ceremony for us.

413

You're really willing to proceed?

414

I'm willing.

415

All right. Thank you.

416

Hey.

417

I could never understand

418

why you sacrificed so much for Helan Jingting.

419

Now, I understand it.

420

It looks like I, Zhao Song, can do just as much for you.

421

Unbelievable.

422

Qianhua.

423

Lord Helan, it's me.

424

I haven't had any news about you for a while.

425

Is it going well for you up there?

426

We're getting very close to the answers we want.

427

Something happened to Miss Guan recently. I'm worried that this time she

428

won't have a lot of time.

429

All right. I understand.

430

How are you? Is Zhao Song making things hard for you?

431

I... Zhao Song and I...

432

are about to get married.

433

You are getting married?

434

Did Zhao Song use this quest to threaten you?

435

No, no, no. This happened suddenly

436

but I was the one who spoke of it.

437

Qianhua...

438

I'm sorry.

439

Lord Helan, don't misunderstand.

440

No matter what, we will find a solution to save Miss Guan soon.

441

- Qianhua--

- Lord Helan,

442

this is a decision I made on my own.

443

Someone once sang in a song that

444

"loving you is my own problem."

445

Really? Is it really just my own problem?

446

Didn't I cherish one last hope

447

that one day you would see me and

448

understand me and tell me the words that I want to hear the most?

449

I did. That is why my heart hurts so much when I see him,

450

that man who is suffering just like me. Because only I know...

451

how much pain he is in.

452

A marriage in the Fox Clan brings two people together through all difficulties.

453

The fifteenth day of this month is an auspicious day.

454

At 3:30 p.m., the stars will appear. It is good for the North.

455

It will be a very fortunate moment for a wedding in the Fox Clan.

456

Congratulations to you both.

457

- Uncle Yuan.

- See you at the wedding.

458

- Uncle Jian.

- Congratulations.

459

- I'll see you out.

- No need to see us out.

460

Uncles, I'll see you out. I'm causing you so much trouble.

461

Go on back.

462

Take care.

463

We should follow the Northern elders' wishes in terms of traditions.

464

But rest assured, we get to choose how the ceremony is done.

465

What is this?

466

According to the tradition, I am to give you a gift upon our engagement.

467

I made the lip color using ancient techniques.

468

I still remember the first time I met you.

469

It was in this same hall.

470

At that time,

471

I had no chance to get close to you.

472

You probably don't remember.

473

I remember.

474

Princess Zhaoyan,

475

Tushan Qianhua and Left High Priest's wedding is set for this week.

476

But just like you expected,

477

their marriage isn't that simple.

478

It's all right.

479

I will simplify it all.
