Cast

He is thus forced to work and live at a zoo, while in the meantime attempting to find a rich woman to help settle his debt. He later falls in love with Bai Xianchu, but she is forcefully taken away by the Bureau of Transfiguration. Yuan Shuai realizes that she is everything to him, so he courageously goes to her rescue.
• Liu Yifei as Bai Xianchu - an Arctic Silver Fox demon. Her dealings with Hansen lead her into a lot of trouble with the Bureau of Transfiguration, as marrying a human is considered severe felony in the demon world. She loves Yuan Shuai dearly and is willing to sacrifice anything for him.

• Guo Jingfei as Hong Sicong - Chief of Human World Branch of the Bureau of Transfiguration.
