    Reader note

    I finished reading a strange book late at night and it has so much staying power! I can't help but come to Amway - "Ember Fox: Burning Tail of Grudges". It is said that the story of the fox fairy is inseparable from the word "love", but this book has "gratitude and hatred" engraved in the bones! 🦊 Each story is based on folklore, tearing apart the complexity of human nature and the fierceness of fox nature - there is the crazy fox who protects each other with dripping kindness, and there is also the fierce spirit with endless resentment. The writing is like a gavel in the hands of an old teahouse storyteller, knocking into your heart with a bang: ►"A fox repays kindness and is gone in three days; a fox takes revenge and is burned for three generations." ►"Where the embers are, it is either the fire of evil or the fire of madness." If you like the Jianghu atmosphere in "Liao Zhai" where monsters are more real than people and love is more important than fate, this book will really make you stay up late at night! 🌙
