As promised, on the third night,I'd bring the corpse down and fake a burial.Then, Yun Que will no longer exist in this world.Then, she can live with me in the Yue residence for the rest of our lives.But I didn't expect that on the third night,when I went to the city gate tower,what I wished for actually came true. In this world, Yun Que really no longer exists anymore. After that…I never saw my Yun Que again.

The Snow Moon: Episode 1
notes: Spoilers! Hey, I know that guy! Master list of all recaps
Fox demons- they do get around don't they? In this 10 minute per episode drama, we learn that a fox demon has managed the ultimate promotion- to emperor. Did he do it for the power? The glory? The sweet wardrobe? Or did he do it so he could scour the country for the mysterious woman in a painting he's obsessed with? I won't keep you in suspense, it's that last one!
Fox Demon, Emperor, this year's winner of the Scorpion King Excellence in Eyeliner Award: Bo Qiu.
But let's start this tale from the beginning:
We begin by meeting our female lead Su Xiao Huan, who is grifting a group of townsfolk by first spinning outrageous tales of the dastardly doings of the fox demon emperor and then claiming that she can eliminate him (for a fee).
5 minutes later...
The townspeople see through her scam and leave in disgust. But handsome newcomer Lord Qiansui (and his personal assistant and/or assassin-on-call) is delighted to have found an old friend, even if she doesn't recognize him.
Su Xiao Huan is happy to leave with him, but less than happy to hear about his plan to entrap the fox demon.
He wants to send her to the palace to serve him- not like a servant or even in a creepy concubine way- more like in a To Serve Man way. Yes, he wants to offer her up as a snack. Su Xiao Huan has bitten off more than she can chew and finds herself entering the palace.
Once there, she meets Bo Qiu, the Fox Demon Emperor. Bo Qui realizes Su Xiao Huan is the woman from the painting, but she doesn't remember him at all.
Su Xiao Huan, for her part, is more concerned with not being consumed.
Threats like this will become a wellspring of flirtation in subsequent episodes (example below)
Finally we get what I thought was going to be a montage of their shared past, but just turned out to be the ending theme because these episodes are short! (I do think some of these scenes are flashbacks though)
When there was only one set of footprints, it was the fox demon emperor lugging your ass through the snowy landscape while the outro music played.
The Good
I love the low cut, slightly slutty way Bo Qiu is wearing his robes
Su Xiao Huan has a cute pet hedgehog
The Bad
you can't fuel a drama on hotness alone (but you can coast on the fumes of hotness until you reach the gas station of a better drama)
the hedgewiggle exhibits more acting ability than some of the cast
Hedgehog seen here giving us classic second male lead syndrome.
Final Thoughts
Imma keep watching it.
