Features: In Fox Love, there are a few lines that truly capture the petty calculations of men's hearts: The story of the fox spirit is different; it contains all our desires—eating soft rice (the fox family always has grand mansions, high courtyards, fine wine, and good food to entertain us), dating young girls (even including their sisters, younger sisters, aunts, and grandmothers because the fox doesn’t seem to understand jealousy), getting paid (they even send off carriages, gold, silver, silk, and satin when you leave), and being irresponsible (after eating, drinking, playing, and taking everything, a Taoist tells you, "Sir, you’ve been bewitched by the fox spirit," and then you can calmly say, "Oh, I almost fell for the demon’s tricks—none of the previous vows with the fox sister need to be honored anymore."). Then the author seriously wonders: Whenever I see such stories, I don’t understand why the foxes have to put so much effort into pleasing us scholars?
