Painted Skin
The sun is setting , a group of troops walk slowly in the desert, they set on horses; raise their drinks and sing loudly. Sand blown by the wind, the sky becomes yellow gradually. In the desert, general Wangsheng and his soldiers discover a rebel army, so they decided to attack them and clear all of them. Wangsheng makes a strategy that they will act during the night.
In the rebel army’s camp, the rebel rob a beauty whose name is Xiaowei. The leader of the rebel rob trying to get closer to her, and he says “ tell me what you want, whatever you want I will give you”. Xiaowei touches his face and laugh, she asks
“ really?”
The man says “ sure, I love you, and my heart in yours now.” Xiaowei’s hand move down form his face to his chest, and she says
“ wow, I catch it.” Suddenly, the man’s heart is taken out of his chest, his face was serious, suffered, and painful.
Wangsheng and his soldiers start , they kill all of the people who are on sentry duty, they run into rebel army’s camp. And Wangsheng sees girl sets on the bed and staring at him with confusion. Maybe at that time, Xiaowei fall in love with Wangsheng at the first sight. Xiaowei tells Wangsheng that she is a orphan, the rebel army plundered her home, and killed her parents, due to her beautiful appearance, they keep her alive. Wangsheng feels Xiaowei is a pitiful girl, then he brings Xiaowei back home. Xiaowei is actually a fox spirit who feasts on human hearts to maintain her lovely and youthful appearance. Trouble brews when Xiaowei falls in love with Wangsheng, however, Wangsheng already has a wife—Peirong.
The city’s gate is opening, Wangshang and his soldiers are back home. All of their families are standing on the gate and waiting for them to be back. “ they are back, they are back, the general is back!” People are excited. When Wangsheng sees his wife Peirong, he runs to her, and embraces her, Peirong touched his face very gently and cries because Wangsheng go on an expedition all the year round, she worries about his safety. Wangsheng tells Peirong that they saved a girl halfway, and her parents are dead, he wants to take care of her as a sister. There are so many people like her, and everyone thinks Xiaowei is a kind ,nice, beautiful young women. Xiaowei has a good relationship with everyone in Wangsheng’s home. Including his soldiers, brothers....
Everything is normal, however a series of mysterious murders occur in the city and the victims have their hearts dug out. There are more and more people died, Wangsheng needs to protect his citizens as a general, during the night he try to catch the people who ripped people’s heart. One night, they patrol around the city, and they see the murder, then they chase the murder, but the strange thing happened, why the murder can disappear suddenly? At this time, a solider tells Wangsheng that someone knock the city’s door. Wangsheng orders soldier to open the door, when they open the door , they notice that the people who knocked the door is Pangyong. Pang Yong is a former general in the same army as Wang Sheng and he also know how to catch the demon. He was in love with Peirong, but she married Wang Sheng eventually. Pangyong came back because he knew that city meets some problems and Peirong has been worried for a long time. Peirong tells pangyong that “ I suspects if there was a demon in my house. Three mouth ago, when Wangsheng was back from the expenditure, and he rescued a beautiful young woman. With nowhere to stay, her name is Xiaowei, she claimed to her parents was killed by the rebel army. After Xiaowei came there, suddenly, there appeared an assassin the city, who yore out the hearts of so many people, and city’s magistrate ran away , all the guards have hidden away, no one dare patrol at the night, the new magistrate has not yet come, but there can not be without law in the city. No one can deal with the muddier , the only thing that Wangsheng and his soldiers can do is that step up the patrols every night til the new magistrate takes up his post. Now, more can more people start to doubt if all things happened caused by demon.”
Pangyong asks her: “ why you suspect that, do you have any evidence can prove what your says?”
“ yes, I told my suspects to Taoist priest, but next day, he was dead with his heart digged out..... how horrible it is..... and one day, Xiaowei and me tailored the clothes, and I use the Caesar cutting her finger with careless, I yelled people take the medical kit, however, when I got the medical kit and tried to treat her, strange thing happened, she showed me her hand, and told me that I didn’t hurt her, she was fine. That’s impossible, I clearly saw her wound. I told my suspects to wangshang, but he didn’t believe me, he thinks that Xiaowei is surgery fun and charming. she would not be a demon. Now, she has a great relationship with everyone, and she is getting closer to Wangsheng.”
“ anyone knows she is a demon?”
“ how dare I tell anyone else? Nobody believes me, could you please help me find the truth? Do you believe me?”
“ when did I ever disbelieve you? I will help you to find the truth.”
“ please, thank you.” Peirong answer.
After a few days , Pang Yong comes to Wang Sheng's house , he wants to accuse Xiaowei of being a demon. Wangsheng has no alternatives, he yells to Pangyong
“ how is xiaowei can be a demon, did you hey the rumor like this?”
“ I just want to know the truth.” Pangyong answered.
“ truth, fine, I will get you there and see the truth.”
In the room, Pangyong asks Xiaowei so many question like the police interrogates the prisoner, but nothing comes out, xiaowei looks very calm, and answers Pangyong’s tricky question one by one. At this time, Pangyong has another way that each demon has their own marks in the back of their body. Like human’s birthmark, Pangyong wants Peirong to examine her body without any clothe. In a private room, xiaowei takes off all her clothes and expose her bared skin. Still nothing is abnormal, she succeeds in maintaining her disguise. Peirong comes out of the xiaowei’s room with a upset face, actually is disappointed face. Wangsheng says to Peirong “ I can understand that you are just worried about me.”
“ I am so sorry.” Peirong answers.
“ you should apologize to xiaowei”.
Peirong comes up to xiaowei, and she kneels down, her tears is dropping down, “I am so sorry, xiaowei. ”
Xiaowei faces to Peirong and says “ no, I am sorry for you, my sister,I know why you suspect that I am a demon, cuz, you worried if I will Wangsheng falls in love with me. But I really love him.” Peirong looks at xiaowei with a surprise and incredible face. She cannot believe xiaowei is a complex girl, how she says the words out of her mouth.
Xiaowei continue to say “ don’t worried, I will never steal him from you, please accept me as his concubine.... please.. I beg you..” voice faded, Wangsheng stand out and grab peirong’s hand, “ xiaowei, There is only one Mrs. Wang, I am sorry.” Then Wangsheng takes peirong’s hand and walk out of xiaowei’s room. At the time, there is a fire is burning in xiaowei’s heart, it is jealous. Xiaowei wants peirong leave her, and let her never come back, then she can be the only wife of Wangsheng. And she cannot want to kill peirong, because she doesn’t want Wangsheng miss her forever.
One night, xiaowei call peirong into her room. And suddenly, when she peeling off her human skin right in front of her and revealing her true form. Peirong is scared by xiaowei, she falls down on the floor, and cries. Peirong says “ Wangsheng loves you, so don’t hurt him.
“It useless as long as you still here, I have potion soup, drink it and tell everyone, you are a demon killing all those people, I will be mrs.wangand you are the demon.” Xiaowei takes a bowl of toxic soup, and her face shows absence of bewitch and evil.
“ I can do that, just promise me, don’t hurt Wangsheng.” Then peirong takes the bowl and drink all of it. The Peirong and Xiaowei come to an agreement: Xiaowei promises to stop killing people; in return, Peirong offers her place as Wang Sheng's rightful spouse to Xiaowei and takes the blame for the murders. Xiaowei gives Peirong a potion to drink, after which Peirong's hair turns white and her features become "demonic".
The rain is heavy outside with the thunder, peirong is scared running in the street, everyone is afraid of her, because she is poisoned, her black hair changes white, and her skin was white, looks so week so scary. The city's residents are horrified when they see Peirong and think that she is the demon. Just as Peirong is about to be killed by the citizens, PangYong shows up, save her, and bring her to a cave. Peirong has been poisoned by the demon and she is close to death because the lighter the color of the poison, the more fatal it is. Peirong is gradually turning white. Not long later, Wang Sheng, his soldiers and members of his household (including Xiaowei) come to the cave. When WangSheng sees peirong, he runs to her, and embrace her, he touches her face very gently, his heart is bleeding. He asks peirong “ are you a demon?”
peirong look at xiaowei, and says “ yes, kill me, I am a demon, I killed so many people. Wangsheng swears to his citizens “ I will kill Peirong if she is really a demon and is responsible for all the murders, but I am her husband, how can I give her up? “ Peirong smile, then impales herself with a dagger Wang is holding on to and dies in his arms. Xiaowei tries to gain Wang Sheng's affection by moving closer to him, but he takes no notice of her and continues to weep while holding on to his dead wife's body. At this point, Xiaowei realizes that Wang Sheng will never truly love her and she lost.
Pang Yong is crazy due to Peirong’s death. He shouts to everyone that Xiaowei is the real demon and then slashes her with his weapon to prove it, but her body is as hard as steel. Wang Sheng approaches Xiaowei and begs her to bring Peirong back to life. When Xiaowei asks him what she will get if she restores Peirong to life, Wang replies that he loves xiaowei but he already has Peirong, and then he kills himself. The heartbroken Xiaowei screams and reveals her true demon form. She willingly attempts to bring Wang back to life with her magic powers in the form of a small crystal ball which has all the powers she cultivated over thousands of years to save a man's life. The xiaowei crumb the crystal ball which diffuse power, then the power of the crystal ball brings every dead person in the cave back to life. When Wangsheng and peirong wake up, they see each other, and they embrace each other, they finally know how the difficult for two lovers to be together. Pangyong knows that Wangsheng loves peirong so much, and he will not worry peirong anymore, and he know that love a person also means let her go. After that, Wangsheng and peirong are happy together, however, there is a little white fox who is not far away from them and always looking at them, the maybe fox also knows that love is also means help lover gets his love.
