Adventures on an Autumn Night: Zhaoren, a scholar from a poor family, encounters the fox demon Xiaoshuang by chance on a moonlit night. The two begin a dialogue of poetry and painting in the maple forest, planting the seeds of love.
Disaster strikes suddenly: a once-in-a-century locust plague sweeps across the county. The county magistrate forces Zhaoren to transport non-existent disaster relief grain and puts him in jail.
Immortals come to the rescue: In order to save her lover, the fox demon Xiaoshuang took the risk and used the uncultivated inner elixir to cast a spell to turn dead leaves into food, but was backlashed and revealed her true form.
Deep love in prison: Zhaoren learned that his mother was critically ill in prison, and Xiaoshuang visited the prison in person, and the two expressed their sincere feelings to each other inside and outside the bars.
Twin tricks: The county magistrate noticed something unusual, so Xiaoshuang had to separate his soul to create a clone, while maintaining the illusion of the granary and taking care of Zhaoren's mother.
The final trial: The disaster relief food arrived in the capital and turned into loess. When the imperial envoy conducted a thorough investigation, Xiaoshuang used his last spiritual power to restore the truth. The fox demon disappeared after the county magistrate was punished.
Purpose: Praise beautiful love
