When I was fifteen, I went to the river to bathe and encountered a large White Snake. As a result, that night I developed a strange illness with a high fever that wouldn’t subside.
My whole body became paralyzed, and my stomach swelled up as if I were ten months pregnant. Paralyzed for three years, I became a cripple that everyone disliked.
While my parents worried daily about me not being able to get married, a man as beautiful as a celestial being volunteered to come to our door.
Not only was he willing to marry me, but he was also happy to take care of me, paralyzed in bed? Where in the world is there such a good thing as a meat pie falling from the sky?
When I was alone with him, I saw a section of a fox tail accidentally slip out from behind his buttocks. This man was actually a fox in disguise. The night the fox came to the door as a son-in-law, my whole family was tragically murdered, leaving only me out of seven people.
Was the murderer the Fox Spirit willing to take care of my bodily functions, or the mysterious and aloof Snake Demon, or the free Taoist Priest of unknown origin, or someone else entirely?
On the night of the souls’ return, my deceased Older Sister came back to seek my life. She repeatedly said that the murderer who killed the whole family was me!
How could the murderer be me?!
