* AdaptedOut: The film leaves out a lot compared to the series. Bai Qian's time at Kunlun Mountain is never mentioned. Mo Yuan only appears in flashbacks (except for the final scene... maybe). Bai Zhen, Bai Feng Jiu, Dong Hua, and Li Jing are nowhere to be seen.

''Once Upon a Time'' (三生三世十里桃花, ''Sān Shēng Sān Shì Shí Lǐ Táo Huā'', literally "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms") is a 2017 Chinese film starring Liu Yi Fei and Yang Yang. It's based on the novel of the same name by Tang Qi Gong Zi. The novel was also the basis for the 2017 series ''Series/TenMilesOfPeachBlossoms''.

An attempted kidnapping leads to the fox goddess Bai Qian meeting and eventually becoming engaged to Ye Hua, Crown Prince of the Nine Heavens. Unfortunately Ye Hua is still in love with his dead mortal wife, Su Su, and Bai Qian thinks he only wants to marry her because she reminds him of her. [[IdentityAmnesia The truth is much more complicated.]]
