Plot
Yuan Shuai, a debt-ridden animal-breeder, tries to get out of his financial predicament by finding a wealthy girlfriend through matchmaking dates. He unexpectedly meets and falls in love with a fox demon, Bai Xianchu, who he saved as a child. However, the head of the Demon tribe Yun Zhonghe forbids love relationships between demons and humans, so he takes Bai Xianchu away. To seek his lover, Yuan Shuai bravely crashes into the demonic world.
Cast

He is thus forced to work and live at a zoo, while in the meantime attempting to find a rich woman to help settle his debt. He later falls in love with Bai Xianchu, but she is forcefully taken away by the Bureau of Transfiguration. Yuan Shuai realizes that she is everything to him, so he courageously goes to her rescue.
