Where can I watch Love Between Fairy and Devil free?
Episode 1 plays above, free, from 爱奇艺东方奇幻, the official channel that put the show on YouTube. On YouTube itself, turn its Chinese subtitles on with CC, then Chinese.
How do I get pinyin on the other episodes?
Add the Mandarin The Wild extension to Chrome: every Chinese video on YouTube gets its line under the player with pinyin over each word, and a card with the meaning of any word you point at.
Where do the lines and the pinyin come from?
The lines are the show’s own Chinese subtitles, uploaded by 爱奇艺东方奇幻 with the episode. Our reader splits each line into words and gives each word the reading it has in that sentence; a word whose reading isn’t settled stays in characters rather than guess. The level counts are from its first episode, names left out.
Is it free?
Yes, with no account.
