The TV adaptation also shares the same setting and characters from the movie. The story centers around Wang Ying (Hawick Lau 劉愷威) and his love triangle with Tang princess, Li Jing (Ying Er 颖儿) and fox spirit, Xiaowei (Michelle Bai 白冰). When Princess Jing’s face becomes disfigured, she willingly exchanges her human heart with Xiaowei, foolishly believing that Wang Ying will love her again after she regains her beauty. Though it is a supernatural epic, the main theme will be love and the sacrifices involved.
