Features: On the Lantern Festival, Prince Fu and his cousin Wu Sheng went out for a stroll. They encountered a stunning beauty with a face as delicate as peach blossoms. Fu Tan Yi fell in love and became ill, tossing and turning all night. Upon investigation, he learned that the woman was his own cousin, named Ying Ning. When he visited her home, Ying Ning greeted him with constant smiles, leaving Fu Tan Yi puzzled. Through Wu Sheng, he proposed marriage, only to discover that Ying Ning was the daughter of a fox spirit. After marrying Ying Ning, the Wang family was filled with her laughter. One day, Ying Ning revealed her origins to Fu Tan Yi, and they reburied her ghostly mother, visiting her grave during the Qingming Festival. The couple lived happily, as the saying goes: "To ask when we shall meet again, how can it compare to forever staying together."
