Yan's minions try to give him dating advice, and he eventually goes to confront the actor girl Miss Wen (who is playing as a female bailiff in the play) giving him so much trouble. He claims that his current disguise is his true face and he came to help her with the play as requested as he can play any role using his face-shifting skill. She then introduces him to the male lead, who to his dismay is her boyfriend Xuezang.

He despairs thinking he has no chance to seduce her, when his minions point out that they got a picture of the supposed boyfriend cheating and kissing another red-head girl (Yemei) earlier that day, and they can use that as leverage to break them up and give Yan Ruyu a chance.

He then interrupts a practice rehearsal, having disguised himself Yemei. Yan Ruyu then reveals that Xuezang has been cheating on Wen using photo evidence of Xuezang kissing Yemei. Wen then slaps Xuezang away. Meanwhile, Yan seizes the opportunity and claims that he is the original "Thousand Face Playboy" (千颜采花大盗) and has fallen for the actor girl. He then brings out his trademark straw drink to attempt to steal her yaoli. However he suffers a flashback when the girl arrested him, and he becomes afraid.

Before he can fully collect himself, the cucked yaoguai now working for Bai Yuechu jump on stage and break the drink prop. Yan Ruyu calls for more drinks, but Bai Yuechu has beaten his minions and stolen all the rest of the backup drinks. This is an attempt to trick Yan Ruyu into thinking Bai Yuechu doesn't want him to get this girl's Spirit Power, thus making him try even harder to seduce the girl without his drink trick.

Meanwhile Wen's ex-boyfriend Xuezang tries apologizing to her. She refuses, he reveals himself as the Mouse Spirit Xuezang, says he has been trying to woo her for a week, and then abducts her by force. The red-head girl he kissed earlier reveals herself to be the Cat Girl Yemei and tells Mouse Guy to go easy on Wen. Wen breaks away and calls out for help, and several people hear her. Wang Fugui comes to the rescue, but fails when his expensive replica sword breaks. The Spirit Police and Wang Fugui's bodyguards are also killed by Cat Girl and Mouse Guy. Miss Wen is then captured and wakes up in a cave with several hostile criminal yaoguai arguing over her.

Having concluded the Wang family business, Yaya proceeds to tie up Susu and Yuechu and hit them on the heads with memory mallets for a whole day, trying to make them recover their lost memories. Yuechu learns he is the 5th reincarnation of Dongfang Yuechu, and his previous gluttonous incarnations have incurred a large debt (100 million yuan) by feasting in Tushan. All four of his previous reincarnations failed to retrieve their memory, so Rongrong says she will keep trying.

However, Bai had enough torture and escapes taking Susu with him. Bai Yuechu then falls for another poisoned food trap. He sees the cast from Season 1 walking across the street as he goes unconscious. Turns out that the Yiqidao league hired Bai Qiuen to capture Yuechu. But Rongrong says she will be taking over Yuechu from them.

Bai wakes up in a familiar scene. He is back in the hospital with Fan Yunfei and his wife fighting, just before he lit the hospital on fire with Chunzhi Yangyan.

Outside, Rongrong explains they are trying to recreate the scene from Season 1 Episode 9 to Episode 13, exactly as it occurred so that "she" will appear, as this is the only time Susu has ever transformed in the hundreds of years of trying to bring "her" back.

Rongrong uses Fox Reading Technique (狐念之术) to control everyone's bodies in the scenes to re-enact it. However Yuechu does not want to cooperate, nor does he want to pay the 100 million yuan debt, so he releases his ultimate Daoist energy and tries to escape multiple times. Thus Yaya freezes him saying that Tushan is her domain.

However, the next day, Fan saved the Ice General from the Flame Medusa. Regardless of the previous night, they then married and made a Pledge of Love using the Millennium Water Bead Jewel as their fabao.

Tushan Yaya, having already subdued Beishan Yaodi, immediately begins firing chunks of powerful ice magic at the Empress, giving Huandu Qingtian time to escape with his daughter.

Susu runs into more guards, who possess more IQ than Venom Boy, but Wang Fugui suddenly appears slashing them with his Wangquan Spirit Blade. They continue their quest to find Luolan and chicken Bai.

Apparently, not even Du Niangzi and Du Fuzi know where Luolan is, so Susu uses the poison butterfly papilio from earlier to find them. The Du couple warns that they will have to confront Du Pozi and Du Laozi, two of the most powerful poison spirits.

The Du couple let them go, but stay behind and cut off one of their own arms each as self-punishment for not following Luolan's orders to stop them, as they could not bring themselves to harm their savior and benefactor Wang Fugui. Meanwhile, they hope that Luolan is able to find a certain *him.*

Meanwhile the three pandas wonder how Susu was able to use Bai's body to defeat Gao Daqiang.

Manhua

The Manhua "Fox Spirit Matchmaker" (狐妖小红娘 *Huyao Xiao Hongniang*) is a romance comic series written and painted by Tuo Xiaoxin (庹小新) and colored by Pansi Daxian (盘丝大仙), with help from JianmoSL (缄默SL).

As of 2020, there are over 370 Manhua Chapters.

The Manhua is also currently being serialized by Tencent Animations (腾讯动画) to create the Donghua / Anime series of the same name. It started in 2015 May 4 and is ongoing.

## Background

The story is based in ancient Chinese legends. Tuo Xiaoxin thinks that love is a perennial theme in art. He wanted his characters to find their own reasons for love, while imbuing the comic with its own quirkiness, humor, and sadomasochism (虐恋).

The Manhua also goes by the other name《相思树下》roughly meaning 'Under the Tree of Bitter Love'.

The Manhua is about a world where Humans and Yaoguai live alongside each other and fall in love. However, since humans live shorter lives, lovers make a Heart Oath to extend love beyond the grave. When reincarnated though the human forgets the memories of their past life, so it is up to the Tushan Matchmakers to restore their past love.

## Reading

Read the Manhua at:

* QQ (official from Tencent, in Chinese)
* ohmanhua (Chinese)
* mangakakalot (English translation)
* 365manga (English translation)
* webnovel (English translation, paywall for latest chapters): the site is called 'webnovel', but the content is still the Manhua with English translation

There is no official Chinese web novel. Currently, the only official media are the donghua, manhua, game, and TV show (all sponsored or co-sponsored by Tencent, Bilibili, etc. and based off the material by Tuo Xiaoxin).

For more general info on the Manhua and other media see Baidu.

## Translation note

Manhua is the pronunciation of the Chinese word 漫画 which means 'comic'. Manga is the Japanese pronunciation of those same hanzi / kanji characters. In English, the word Manhua usually refers to Chinese comics, whereas Manga connotes Japanese comics--though sometimes 'Manhua' and 'Comic' are used as synonyms as they really mean the same thing.

*Hu Yao* means Fox Spirit. *Xiao Hong Niang* means Small Red Lady, which refers to Susu. Red refers to Susu's job as matchmaker (红线仙 'Red String Fairy') as in Chinese and Asian cultures, lovers meet if they have a red string connecting them. Red could also refer to other things.

While both were still young, before Dongfang arrived, Tushan Honghong and Rongrong were both captured by a cruel Daoist and put in cages. He planned to sell them as sex slaves for money and used sealing charms to prevent them from using their powers and Spirit Power to escape. The Daoist assistant convinced his master not to prey on the young fox spirits since it would damage the 'merchandise' and lower their 'value'. The Daoist then sets up an array of magic bells and charms to protect them from lesser spirits and warn of danger should a strong spirit approach. He then retires to sleep, putting his assistant in charge of watch.

Meanwhile Honghong tried to comfort her younger sister, and recalled the advice she'd been given to never let her guard down around humans, especially the men who were treated poorly themselves by other humans. She tried to break out of the cage, struggling in vain against the seals.

The Small Daoist then appeared, telling them his senior had fallen asleep and did not easily wake from sleep. As he reached his hands through the cage bars and covered her mouth telling her to be quiet and that it would not hurt very much. Honghong recalled the advice she'd been given before and afraid she struck out and punching the assistant through his chest. As he began to die, he quickly removed the sealing charms from Honghong's limbs. In his dying words, he explained he had a dream that one day Daoists and spirits like them would all get along together. He fell to the ground telling them to hurry and escape. He then died.

The Daoist then awoke to the sounds of his set of bells and charms shattering from the presence of a powerful spirit. Honghong appeared from around the corner, carrying the dead assistant and Rongrong hiding behind her now much taller and mature sister. The Daoist tried to fight back unable to understand how she had suddenly become so powerful, but Honghong utterly beat the Daoist before telepathically telling him to scram.

After returning to Tushan, the young Yaya tried to talk to Honghong, but one of the older fox spirits stopped her, explaining her power had greatly increased, due to great burden and emotional trauma she experienced (fox spirit's power is based on their emotions).
Divine Book

Divine Book (天书 *Tianshu*), Sacred book, or Matchmaker's Secret Book (红娘秘籍) is an item given to Tushan Fox spirits after they passed their tests to become matchmakers. According to Rongrong each fox spirit matchmaker is only given one in their lifetime.

Chunai Tianpian is Susu's tianshu, obtained in Season 2.

## Details

The unique sacred book of Tushan fox spirits. It is made from the pulp of the Bitter Love Tree and connected with the tree's spirit. It can sense the stories of those who wish under the bitter giant tree. Therefore, it is the best helper for the fox spirits to complete the task, and the tianshu will show the key information of their past love to remind the fox spirits to help reincarnated lovers renew their love.

Every fox spirit's tianshu is different, and each fox spirit only gets one tianshu in their life. At present, it is known that Tushan Susu's tianshu is the Book of Pure Love (Dongfang Yuechu gave it to her). It belonged to Honghong and has existed for more than 800 years. Because it Honghong's tianshu, it has special significance for Tushan Yaya.

The tianshu can't be broken by ordinary methods, but the Void Tear was able to split it.

Yaya takes the tianshu away from Susu, saying she is not worthy of it.
* Qingtong tries to escape with the tianshu, but Bai Yuechu uses his signature Xukong zhi Lei to stop her. However his tear blade accidentally tears the tianshu in half.

The young Qingtong uses her detoxifying spider silk to protect Wang Fugui from the poison. Venom Widow recognizes Qingtong and reveals her past: 600 years ago, her husband was killed by the Wangquan Clan so she swore revenge. She bred many slaves including young Qingtong Slave #12580 and used her to spy on the Wang family. This is when Qingtong met Wangquan Fugui.

Wang Fugui then reveals himself to be the reincarnation of Wangquan Fugui, and Venom Widow laughs, thanking the heavens for making the reincarnation so weak. Wang Fugui uses his Divine Seal (正神化身符) summoning several divine warriors to attack the widow, but she uses a love poison to make them infatuated with her. Venom Widow is about to attack Wang Fugui with a fatal blow, but Qingtong jumps in saying she wants to prove herself to Fugui and save him once more.

Fugui has another flashback: when Qingtong, Wangquan Fugui, and Dongfang Yuechu ran away together, they found a small cottage for residence. They ask Yuechu who was the fox woman who killed 500 of the Yiqidao soldiers (after the flashback events of Season 2). Yuechu hesitates on how to introduce his child groom Honghong.

Qingtong makes some nice Matsutake soup. However, Yuechu's stomach gets upset and he needs to flee to relieve himself. While Yuechu is away, the Venom Widow then tracks down Fugui and attacks him at the small cottage. Qingtong begged her not to kill Fugui as he was not responsible for killing her husband. But Venom Widow says it was thanks to her slave and ace Qingtong that she was able to see through Yuechu's barrier spell and locate Qingtong.

Yaya is stunned that Susu could move faster than even herself. Yaya thinks she see has seen her older sister as the Xukong zhi Lei envelops the transformed Susu who screams in pain before disappearing in a flash of light. Yaya despairs wishing she should have had more faith in her sister. The Nanguo Princess laughs with glee, excited thinking she killed Susu and moves to attack Yaya.

Yaya then has a flashback: many yaoguai and Daoists are violently protesting at Tushan's gate while a young Yaya argues and beats up the protesters. Dongfang Yuechu and Wangquan Fugui high above on a cliff look down observing the fight and discuss the duel that is to happen the next day between Dongfang and Yaya's older sister.

After the fighting finishes, older sis compliments Yaya, but tells her she should focus on using more ice magic rather than brute strength since she may need to take her place if she doesn't return tomorrow after the duel with Dongfang.

Returning to the present, Yaya dodges Yuechu's attack and drinks a whole bottle of wine and then summons all nine of her tails unleashing her full strength, determined to kill Bai Yuechu and avenge Susu. Rongrong despairs at Susu's disappearance, saying that since she was hit with the Tear Void there is no escape for her. The Wang family grandpa starts to disagree, but is interrupted while Yaya begins her assault, challenging the possessed Yuechu to use Xukong zhi Lei.

They hide behind an igloo wall made by Bai Qiuen. Wang Fugui Yeye explains there is a possibility that Susu is still alive and merely teleported elsewhere. Rongrong demands that Yeye uses an abacus to calculate the exact probability that Susu is still alive.

Meanwhile, Yaya triumphantly drinks another jug of wine, unleashing her ultimate move Endless Gourd. The Nanguo Princess makes Yuechu attack, but Yaya freezes and shatters the Xukong zhi Lei by using the Legendary ice magic Absolute Zero. She throws a chunk of frozen Void Tear back at Yuechu. However, Rongrong flies to intercept, saying that Susu might not be dead so there is no need to kill Bai.

At the same time, Yeye finishes his calculation, predicting that Susu will appear in front of Bai. Indeed Susu reappears in front of Yuechu and her lips meet Yuechu's own bloody lips, transforming her back into Yaya's older sister who blocks the frozen Void Tear with her hands.

Susu is very surprised and nervous to be kissed (having only heard of such a thing from her sisters before). In actuality though, Bai Yuechu is writing a seal on Susu's forehead with his spit (since he is unable to use his hands). The Disaster Beast tried to stop him and the two are then bounced all around the room. The strange embrace and "kissing" causes Yuechu to start bleeding which allowed him to complete the seal on Susu's forehead with his blood. This causes Pure Yang Flames to burst out of Yuechu which drives away the Disaster Beast, while also igniting Susu and the building on fire.

Susu and Bai fall to the ground on fire. Strangely Susu's body seems to mature rapidly, and she seems much older. A piece of falling debris hits Yuechu on the head, and he drops Susu. He hurriedly looks around, trying to find her when he hears a woman's voice speaking directly to his mind and calling him "Foolish Daoist" (二货道士). However, when he looks for its source he finds only Susu standing there with her clothes slightly torn from her sudden growth earlier, but back to normal size.

Meanwhile the General and Prince's fighting is stopped by the intense blaze (destroying her Ice Spear) and she falls into the flames. Thinking she is about to die, she remembers a scene from her previous life falling into a similar blaze. She went alone to fight the Flame Medusa, something that her entire army was preparing to do together. She takes all but one of the Ice Jade Tablets (天罡寒玉) that her clan got from the Far North (极北之地). She uses the tablets to freeze seal Medusa, but because she was missing one, Medusa was able to melt away the ice and burn the Ice General.

Back to present, Fan Yunfei with one arm left holding the remnants of the ice spear leaps into the fire to try to save Li Xueyang.

Zuoshi having finished showing the shocked and injured Yaya the vision of the past, he commands Honghong to come to him, and she obeys like a puppet trapped in his illusion. He then tries to take her spirit power through a kissing technique he learned from the Shadow Foxes. Before he can begin, Bai Yuechu bursts out of the ground (somewhat surprised himself) and punches Zuoshi in the face and demanding he stop because "that little fool is my child bride".

Earlier, Bai Qiuen mourns the alleged death of his son, having narrowly escaped himself, but consoles himself with the fact that he had purchased a life insurance policy for his son and will now have a ton of cash. Bai Yuechu appears out of the ground with an armful of food (tortillas from the other side of the world) revealing he is alive. He explains that he used Ground Traversal Seals (Dixing Fu) in order to use the force of Honghong's punch as means of momentum and that her punch sent him clear to the other side of the planet where he found all the tortillas. Bai Yuechu decides to return to try rescue Susu--not because he pretends to care about her--but because she is an easy free meal ticket (this makes his stingy dad proud to have raised a stingy son).

Back to present, Yuechu punches Zuoshi upset he is making a move on Honghong (to steal her spirit power). He fights with Shi Kuan, tricking him into blasting the Hunyuan bell trapping Rongrong, thereby freeing her. Rongrong then tells him they don't have a chance of winning against Honghong and Shi Kuan unless Bai turns into Dongfang Yuechu. Honghong overhears the name and becomes enraged. Rongrong explains Susu's body won't be able to sustain much longer, and she might die.

Bai Yuechu initially refuses because turning into Dongfang would tacitly admit that he inherits the billion yuan debt incurred by his past incarnations. He hears the disembodied voice of Dongfang telling him to save Honghong because she is Susu, asking him if he is willing to have her blood on his hands. Convinced, Yuechu decides to help and signs a contract with Rongrong that hires him as a 'Servant of Servants' (like Dongfang before) and gives him 5 rainbow lollipops. She then hits him on the back knocking his spirit free of his body so he can interact with Honghong in her trapped state.
