The thousand-year-old fox fairy Chanyou is extremely beautiful and has a loose nature. She has rejected countless suitors, but was rescued by a young monk due to serious injuries.
She recuperated in the temple for two years and formed a friendship with the innocent young monk. She was eventually sent away because of the old monk's worries.
When they reunited ten years later, the young monk had grown into a cold and boring adult monk, but Chanyou was sincerely moved.
The two experienced a brief period of deep affection, but Chanyou could not bear the restraint and left, leaving only the promise of "I will come back to you".
When Chanyou returned again, she found that the monk's temples were stained with frost, so she finally stopped her wandering and stayed in the mountains to accompany him until her death.
After the monk passed away, she took away his favorite Buddhist beads.
Chanyou originally thought that the monk was just a passer-by in her long life, a piece of entertainment.
But when she met his reincarnation again and again, she made the same mistakes again and again.
The fox was finally tamed, but only after she thought she would be free forever.
