Bargaining with a Fox

share time: 2026-01-09 06:05:19

Su Wan, the last inheritor of a shadow puppetry intangible cultural heritage workshop, risks going into the mountains to find the white fox fur said to make "spirit-communicating shadow puppets"—all to save her mortgaged old house. But the white fox Rong Zhao she meets can talk and holds her grandfather’s old pocket watch. It turns out he’s the fox demon her grandfather saved years ago, guarding the workshop’s secret: "spirit-communicating puppets" are woven from fox demons’ obsessions, and Rong Zhao’s obsession is the unsaid "thank you" to her grandfather. They strike a deal, but as Rong Zhao’s tail starts to fade, Su Wan realizes: the most precious thing was never fox fur—it’s the "heart" two generations guarded for a lifetime.
