Air date announced for Liu Shi Shi and Zhang Yun Long’s Fox Spirit Matchmaker 2: Love in Pavilion

First up: Fox Spirit Matchmaker 2: Love in Pavilion (狐妖小红娘竹业篇) can be watched as a standalone drama. You do not need to watch the supposedly first installment Red-Moon Pact with Yang Mi and Gong Jun.

Synopsis Per Qiyi: It tells the story of Dongfang Huaizhu (played by Liu Shishi) and Wangquan Hongye (played by Zhang Yunlong), the leaders of two major families, the Dongfangs and the Wangquans. In a time when humans and demons are in conflict, they work together to stabilize the situation in order to revive the Unity Alliance. On the seventh day of the seventh month, at the Bamboo Pavilion by the Huai River, their fates intertwine like the sheaths of two swords, never to be separated. They pick up the most heartwarming promise and tell a story that has endured for generations. Leading the transformation of the popular Chinese comic “Fox Spirit Matchmaker” into a live-action series, this installment, “The Zhu Ye Arc,” contributes to the creation of the Eastern Fantasy Universe.
