You might try The Fairies of Liao Zhai, which is a collection of stories from the Qing Dynasty. One of the stories has this summary:
"Xin Shi Si Niang 辛十四娘: Xin Shi Si Niang was a beautiful fox demon whose happiness lied in helping others. She lived with her father and eighteen sisters inside an abandoned temple in the woods. Her only goal was to achieve spiritual enlightenment and rid herself of the normal fate of fox demons. However, a fateful encounter with Feng Sheng changed her life."
I haven't seen it yet, but it's on my list. I'm just trying to balance between period dramas (more common in Mainland media) and modern dramas (more common in Taiwanese media). Don't want to overdose on the costume dramas, so I try to parcel it out.
