狐狸緣全傳 by active 1804-1876 Zuiyueshanren
"狐狸緣全傳" by Zuiyueshanren is a novel likely written in the mid-19th century. The story centers on the character 周信 (Zhou Xin), a young and clever scholar mourning the death of his father, who had expressed a wish to be buried near 青石山 (Qing Shi Mountain). The narrative quickly takes a supernatural turn as Zhou Xin encounters a beautiful fox spirit known as 玉面仙姑 (Yumian Xian Gu), who is drawn to his rare
qualities and beauty, compelling readers to ponder the implications of their fateful connection. At the start of the tale, we are introduced to Zhou Xin, who, after burying his father, visits the grave during the Qingming Festival for a memorial service. During this outing, the young scholar finds himself captivated by the splendor of the landscape, simultaneously entrancing a powerful nine-tailed fox who has manipulated her form to resemble a beautiful woman. As he expresses deep sorrow, the fox spirit, enamored by him, reveals her desire to connect with him, setting in motion a blend of human emotions and supernatural desires. This opening establishes a compelling interplay between Dongguan’s idyllic nature and the allure of its hidden magical inhabitants, drawing the reader into a world where love, ambition, and danger intertwine.
