Another entry in the endless string of Chinese fox spirit fantasy films. It's impossible to keep track of them, they all look alike too. The good thing is that most are pretty short and are still enjoyable little fantasy films. They make good filler, if you can handle their obvious shortcomings that is.

Xiao Bai is a girl suffering from memory loss. He Ansheng is a kind healer who decides to help her. They set off on a journey to uncover her true identity. As they spend time together they gradually fall in love, but Bai is in fact a fox spirit, and spirits aren't supposed to mingle with humans.

So yeah, nothing too out of the ordinary, plotwise. The CG is not great, the cinematography and costumes on the other hand are lovely, which is par for the course. With less than 70 minutes on the clock, the pacing is slick, and even though the film isn't all that memorable, it was fun spending some time with the fox spirits again.
