In 19th-century rural China, a reclusive fox-spirit ( huli jing ), Mei Lin , is betrayed by her human lover, Lord Liang , who betrays her for a rival clan. Cursed to wander the earth in a fragile human form, Mei Lin’s soul is bound to a jade amulet hidden in a temple ruins. For centuries, she searches for him, her face hidden behind a porcelain mask that bears a haunting, fox-like smile—a symbol of her sorrow and wrath.
