Episode 1 opens in the divine realm, where Lu Wuyi stands beneath the radiant celestial stone, its light forming divine characters in the air. Beside her is her older sister Wu Wanyan, both waiting for heaven’s decree. Before any talk of demons or danger, the divine voice first addresses Lu Wuyi, giving her a mission that is surprisingly intimate rather than violent. She is instructed to descend to the mortal realm and approach a boy named Ji Ling—a stranger to her, yet heaven declares him to be her destined person. The unexpected command leaves Lu Wuyi stunned and quietly conflicted; she has always followed orders, but this mission ties her fate to another’s heart, not to a battlefield.
Only afterward does the divine voice turn to Wu Wanyan. Her mission is starkly different: she must track down the escaped nine-tailed fox demon Xiao Wei, who has vanished into Luo’an City. Wu Wanyan accepts her order calmly and without hesitation. The contrast between the sisters is clear—one sent for destiny, the other for duty. Though both appear briefly, the episode subtly hints that Lu Wuyi’s role may hold deeper significance than it first seems.
Down in the human world, danger is already brewing. Outside the bustling Longshen Temple, Wu Shiguang prepares for a risky undercover mission. He intends to infiltrate the upcoming wedding at the wealthy Wei Mansion, posing as the groom. But behind his calm surface lies a deadly goal: once he enters the cultivation sect Zhuqi Sect, he plans to kill the Dragon Seed. His dark ambition casts a long shadow over the story before the wedding festivities even begin.
Inside the Wei Mansion, tensions rise as preparations unfold. The household is lively on the surface, but underneath, fear grows. Strange deaths have recently shaken Luo’an—victims found with their hearts removed, a mark of the fox demon. When Wu Wanyan arrives with her calm yet imposing presence, whispers flow through the estate. Some believe the demon is already inside, disguised as one of them.
It is during this chaos that Ji Ling quietly enters the narrative. Intelligent and perceptive, he becomes involved in the investigation almost by coincidence. Unknown to him, he is the very person heaven tied to Lu Wuyi. Though he and Lu Wuyi have not yet met, the episode plants the seed of their future connection.
Night falls, and the wedding begins—but only for a moment. A blood-curdling scream shatters the celebration. A servant is found dead. His heart is missing.
Panic erupts through the mansion. Terror spreads. Anyone could be the fox demon in disguise—Wu Shiguang, the Wei family members, traveling guests, or even someone who appears harmless. To prevent escape, the mansion is immediately sealed. No one may leave until the demon is found.
Episode 1 ends with the Wei Mansion transformed into a locked cage full of suspicion and secrets. As fear deepens, destiny quietly hangs in the air—Lu Wuyi’s mission, Ji Ling’s hidden importance, and the dangerous mystery of the demon lurking among them. Though the two destined souls have not yet crossed paths, their fates are already shaping the story’s unfolding shadows.
