The ongoing fantasy C-drama Fox Spirit Matchmaker: Red Moon Pact released episode two on May 23, 2024. It features Yang Mi and Gong Jun in the lead roles. The episode focuses on intruders trying to harm Dongfang Yuechu (Gong Jun). Thus, Dongfang Yuechu decides to run away from the Tushan sect to avenge the deaths of his parents. He takes the disguise of Jiushang, a female fox, to entice a male fox and borrows money from him. He uses that to try and convince Rongrong into becoming the debt collector so he can leave the place. But Rongrong is clever and can sense his ulterior motive. She not only turns down his request but also robs his money.
Meanwhile, Fu Cheng gets hold of the immortals who had chased Yuechu inside the Tushan turf. She poisons them and threatens to end their lives if they do not lure Yuechu out of the territory for her master, Jin Renfeng. But these immortals are cunning. They conspire to catch Yuechu and consume his divine blood. That way, even Renfeng won’t be able to harm them.
Honghong (Yang Mi) tries to make sense of how the dark powers of the divine tree are related to the Dongfang blood. Meanwhile, Yuechu arrives at her palace and requests that she let him take on the role of debt collector at the demon market. He is able to convince her that he only wants to make more money to repay her debt. Honghong hesitates at first but decides to put her trust in him. But she also reminds him to stay away from conflicts, as he has not mastered his mystical powers yet. Yuechu leaves after promising that he won’t try to escape.
Fox Spirit Matchmaker: Red Moon Pact Ep 2 :Did Gong Jun succeed in his endeavor?
Meanwhile, the evil immortals keep a close watch on the Tushan turf. They scheme to capture a female fox who seems to have lost her way. They plan to use her as a ploy to get their hands on Yuechu. Just when they are about to capture her, Yuechu comes to her rescue.
As soon as they hear his name, they try to tempt him to get out of the territory. But Yuechu has vengeance on his mind and attacks them head-on. Honghong and Tushan Ronrong come to his aid and rescue him.
Rongrong is curious to know why Honghong allowed Yuechu to be the debt collector. She mentions that she suspects that Jin Renfeng is the one who killed the grey wolf entity and also wore down the divine tree. She concludes this by observing that the wolf had Dongfang’s blood on him. Since Yuechu is bound by a divine thread and can’t leave the turf, it must have been Renfeng. She suspects that he gathered information about Yuechu and schemed to attack him when he was alone. She wanted to use Yuechu as bait to attract Renfeng.
Honghong comes to check up on Yuechu and gives him a healing potion. She expresses her gratitude and wishes to repay him fairly for saving the fox fairy. Yuechu also shows his appreciation for Honghong for always guiding him and being kind to him.
Meanwhile, an issue with the spirit merchants arises. Honghong does everything in her power to stop Yuechu from going to the human market. She suspects why Yuechu wants to lure Renfeng to the human market. Moreover, she wonders if he is all grown up and understands why Honghong wants to avoid the clash between humans and the spirit clan.
