   **The King Who Married a Fox Fairy** — When I was born, my whole family said I was a ghost child. Three older brothers died in my mother's womb, each more grotesque than the last—a stillborn child with pointed ears and a fox-like appearance, a strange baby with headless white hair… Until I was born, the villagers saw the midwife screaming and running away from the delivery room. They said that the moment I opened my eyes, seven red-eyed foxes were crouching on the windowsill. I was raised by wild foxes in the mountains. It brought me wild fruit and wrapped me in its tail to keep warm on snowy nights. Until I was eighteen, I saw it transform into a girl in the moonlight, dressed in fiery red, with eyes filled with an eerie light: "Wei Qing, you should marry me." But when I brought her back to the village, the midwife who delivered me that year went mad with fear: "This, this is the mother fox from the delivery room… who jumped onto the roof beam!"

She only liked to approach the food late at night, take a deep breath, and a satisfied smile would appear on her pale face: "It smells so good..."

    **"The Beauty in the Coffin"** — The night I was born, a black coffin burst open the delivery room door. A torrential downpour occurred on the Lantern Festival, causing my mother to suffer a difficult labor and hemorrhage. The midwife said only one of us could be saved. Then, the coffin, washed ashore by the river, lay silently in the courtyard, and I miraculously came into being. My grandmother said it was a sin my grandfather had committed in his youth—he had pressed a reverse acupuncture point on a dead person, and now the deceased had come to collect their debt with a marriage certificate. [Midnight Horror] ⚰️ On the night of my eighteenth birthday, the coffin lid suddenly cracked open, and a pale, jade-like hand emerged from within. 🌹 The brides who died suddenly one after another in the village all had the same rouge-stained kiss mark on their necks. 💍 Grandpa knelt in the ancestral hall, weeping bitterly: "What that female corpse wanted back then was never a burial place... But a living groom!" "Husband." A soft laugh came from beneath the red veil, her icy fingers touching my heart: "Why are you hiding? This marriage... Was a betrothal letter written by your grandfather himself using your birth date and time." (The wedding dress in the coffin was clearly the burial garment that Grandpa had personally dressed the female corpse in years ago.)
