In order to retain the beautiful skin that does not belong to her and her lover Gong Tian Bao, the ninety-year-old cat-demon dancer deliberately attracts the demon-catching Taoist priest Liu Zhi, hoping to absorb his extraordinary cultivation. The two-tailed black cat Xiao Hei uses one tail to save her former savior, Liu Yuan Zhi, the matrilocal son-in-law who married the ugly daughter of the prince’s maternal uncle. From then on, she lives a comfortable life in seclusion with him, but little does she know that this would be a love tribulation that she could not avoid. About to turn nine years old, a young cat demon named Mao Qiu needs to drink the blood of mouse spirits to grow her first tail. When she meets a mouse spirit, she unexpectedly becomes friends with him. The love between a human and a demon is tragic and shocking. From a cat’s perspective, human nature is deceitful and complex. Growth ultimately comes at a painful price, and three generations of cat demons face different endings... (Source: iQiyi) Edit Translation

Reviews
Could have been edited better
Pack some patience when watchingMultiple stories of different characters wasn't shown relevance with fluidity.
There's a scene that was repeated.
The transition of scenes weren't smooth.
To surmise, it's a chaotic way of telling the story of demons who take over human bodies and are openly living in society but being hunted by demon hunters/alchemists which do not make sense to me.
A man who was saved by the cat he took care, sold her out. His reasoning was absurd and the story showed him as someone who cares for the cat, even stealing fish for her. So sending her to her death out of the blue didn't make sense.
This could have been a good fantasy movie if it was directed and edited well. Best part of the movie is the fight scene between the demon cat and alchemist.
The set scenes were great and wardrobes used were beautiful. Production did a great job in this aspect. The ending credit song is nice and sweet.
