Synopsis
Half-fox demon Feijin develops forbidden romantic feelings for his master Sage Gaochun over centuries, while questioning his master's mysterious past.
When half-fox demon Feijin loses his family at a young age, he is taken in as a pupil by the esteemed Sage Gaochun. Over the centuries, Feijin’s admiration for his master deepens into a forbidden romantic longing. Despite Feijin’s persistent confessions, Gaochun remains steadfast in his refusal, maintaining the strict boundaries of their master-pupil relationship. As Feijin struggles with his unrequited feelings, he begins to wonder if there is more to his master’s reserved nature and the secrets of his past than he has been led to believe.
