Synopsis

She is later saved by mortal, A Xiu, who takes the fox back to her father's shop. Meanwhile, A Xiu is in a relationship with Liu Zi Gu, whom her father detests. After her father forces A Xiu to move away and marry another man, Hua Yue lies and tells Liu that she had died. This prompts Liu to attempt suicide, but is later saved by Hua. Fearing that he will kill himself again, she turns herself into A Xiu's form to buy time before A Xiu comes back. However, after receiving news that A Xiu was killed in a fire, she continues her ruse despite Zuo Yun's warnings, and unwittingly falls in love with Liu in the process. When A Xiu returns, she finds out what Hua Yue has done, and believes Hua had lied to her to take Zi Gu for herself. Believing that Hua Yue had killed someone, Zuo Yun attacks the fox, who is later shielded by A Xiu. After A Xiu dies in her arms, Hua and Zuo Yun help Zi Gu bring her back, which costs Hua her powers and form. Zuo Yun was in love with Hua Yue but since Hua Yue lost her powers and form they didn't ended up together.

Determined to get rid of the engagement, Fei eavesdrops and recklessly accuses An Ren of smuggling weapons. However, Feng Qianru secretly saves her brother-in-law from the accused crime through magic. Fei Yue and Liu Chang Yan deduce that that person is the fox culprit; Chang Yan realizes that she stole the fruit to cure her husband, An De's, illness. Meanwhile, Meng An Ren and Fei Yue slowly fall for each other, despite she not believing him in the beginning.

His presence forces all the foxes to try to keep their scent hidden as much as possible. Shi becomes suspicious of the Weng family's behavior, and realizes the whole family are foxes; he reluctantly saves her family from the wolf demon but severs his friendship with Changting. As the wolf demon's threat draws near, Changting pleads to Shi to teach her demon-slaying skills to protect her family, but as her skills are not enough, her father decides to let the two lovers marry if Shi protects the family. However, the father regrets his decision, and tries to get rid of him. On their wedding day, Shi is poisoned and left for dead while the whole Weng family escapes with the unconscious Changting. Shi Taipu returns to his temple and attempts to kill the entire family, but after Changting sacrifices herself to protect him, he saves her against his master's wishes.

Tao advises her to refute any of his affections toward her, and live a less luxurious lifestyle as a worker with the servants; Ms. Hong later succeeds and reconciles with her husband. Meanwhile, Ninth young master falls in love with Tao Heng at first sight and asks Liu to go on a business trip so that he can go on a spring trip with Liu's "wife". However, he ends up humiliating himself in front of her. Angry that Mr. Hong has only eyes on his wife, Ying Er decides to seduce Ninth young master, while also realizing Tao Heng is responsible of Mr. Hong's change of heart. Hui Er suddenly breaks into Ninth young master's room and persuades him to kill Liu Chang Yan to get Tao Heng. The murder fails; they also find out Tao is with child, but ninth master wants it dead. Mr. Hong helps the couple escape back to Qing Qiu after their mission is complete, but when Hui Er later appears and kidnaps the child, the child defeats him and recovers the Mei fruit.
