A human and a fox spirit keep finding each other across lifetimes, and the show treats that as the most serious thing in the world. Comedy keeps you breathing between moments that genuinely hurt. The first three episodes are a mess of exposition and fast subtitles that almost nobody can follow, but if you survive them, you discover a romance built on the kind of quiet devotion that makes you ache for fictional people you just met. This is a show that understands love as the decision to keep choosing someone, even when time and gods are working against you.

A powerful Taoist and a clumsy fox spirit make an unlikely pair when she literally crashes into his life. Bai Yuechu wants nothing more than to break free of the Yi Qi Dao League that rules over him, while Tushan Susu dreams of becoming a famous matchmaker despite a track record of spectacular failures. When Susu takes on a job reuniting two lovers separated by death and reincarnation, Yuechu gets pulled in to help with her matchmaking. The problem: bringing prince Fan Yun Fei and his reincarnated lover Li Xueyang back together is not what everyone wants, and that includes Xueyang herself. Blending comedy, romance and supernatural adventure, the story sets its fox spirit lore of reincarnation and lasting love against the growing bond between its two leads, as Yuechu and Susu learn who they really are and who they once were.
