Description:

On his delivery journey, Ning Cai Chen encounters the beautiful Xiao Qian in the woods and stays with her for the night. Unbeknownst to him, Xiao Qian is a fox demon who seduces men and devours their souls as they sleep. Fortunately, the Maoshan Taoist priest Yan Chi Xia rescues Ning from near-death. Despite the terrifying ordeal, Ning falls deeply in love with Xiao Qian and resolves to save her. He discovers Xiao Qian is controlled by Lao Lao, a powerful tree demon forcing her to gather men's souls. Because Xiao Qian failed to obtain Ning's soul, Lao Lao punishes her by arranging a marriage to Heshen Lao Yao, a formidable skeleton demon. Now, Ning, with Yan Chi Xia's invaluable help, must plan a daring intervention to crash the demonic wedding and save Xiao Qian from her fate.
