SYNOPSIS:
During the Chin and Han era, Commander Wang Sheng (by Chen Kun) leads his troops in a raid on bandits in the desert, in the process he rescues a beautiful woman and brings her back with them. However he has no idea that this woman, Xiao Wei (by Zhou Xun), is in fact a fox spirit in human form. Xiao Wei needs a regular supply of human hearts to maintain her human form, and the task falls on her helper Xiao Yi (by Qi Yu Wu) – a chameleon who’s also taken on human form and has the special ability to camouflage into the environment he is in. To prove his love and devotion to Xiao Wei, he carries out a spate of murders in order to provide her with human hearts; this terrorizes the whole city.
Meanwhile, Xiao Wei has fallen in love with Wang Sheng, after being impressed with his gallant attempt in rescuing her. She keeps trying to seduce Wang in an effort to steal him from his wife Pei Rong (by Vicki Zhao).
Pei Rong finds out about Xiao Wei’s feeling for her husband; she also discovers that Xiao Wei is not human, so she secretly approaches martial expert Pang Yong (by Donnie Yen) and demon Catcher Xia Bing (by Sun Li) for help...
Subsequently a drama unfolds that delves into intricate emotions and relationships between man and demon, love and passion, loyalty and temptation, treachery and integrity, ending in a finale with surprising twist.

REVIEW:
" ...With the godsend cast of Mainland Chinese A-listers like Zhou Xun (Ming Ming, Perhaps Love), Vicki Zhao (Red Cliff, The Postmodern Life of My Aunt), Chen Kun (Playboy Cops, The Knot) and our very own Qi Yu Wu (The Leap Years, The Home Song Stories), you can be sure it’s going to be a box office hit. And with action super star Donnie Yen (An Empress and the Warriors, Flash Point) headlining this movie, you can be sure ticket sales will be going up, up, up.
But this is where viewers may be mistaken that this 95 minute picture is an action movie full of chop and schlock. Sure, there are some niftily choreographed action sequences that see the characters flying from rooftop to rooftop, but there aren’t any grit and blood which you’d normally expect from a movie starring Donnie Yen. In fact, this drama is rather dreary to watch in its first half, where the story sets itself up for the spirit to be introduced into the family.
The highlight here definitely isn’t Qi’s portrayal as a chameleon spirit, whose silver hair gel is more amusing than anything. It also isn’t Yen’s comic relief role as a martial arts expert, whose performance comes off as rather lightweight. Some may pay attention to Chen Kun’s brooding and gloomy performance as the emotionally undecided general, or Sun Li’s (Fearless) cute and prancing demon catcher, but these aren’t what really shine in this collaboration between Singapore, China and Hong Kong.
What audiences would be most impressed with are Zhou and Zhao’s impressive performance as the vixen spirit and the devoted wife respectively. With Zhou’s deep voice and illuminatingly stunning features, she plays her role perfectly. And who would have thought that Zhao (of the “Xiao Yan Zi” from My Fair Princess fame) could play the role of a loyal and dedicated spouse with such quiet steadfastness? In the hands of a less capable actress, this character would have come off infuriatingly irritating instead.
Watch out for the scene where the two women confront each other – the determination and relentless of the two characters are inaudibly explosive. This is what true drama is all about – characters which you empathize with, whether human or spirit. "
