The story goes that in a small mountain village at the southern foot of Mount Tai in Dongyue, my country, there lived a farmer named Li. Due to the hard work and thrift of his ancestors, by Li Yunxuan's generation, his family was already well off and became a well-known wealthy household from far and wide. Riches come back from riches, but Li Yunxuan never forgets farming and is still diligent and thrifty in running his family. When he reached the age of marriage, his family married him from the Zhang family in the neighboring village. Zhang was beautiful and kind-hearted, and gave birth to three boys and two girls to the Li family. The whole family lived a peaceful and happy life.
When Li Yunxuan's youngest son was six years old, Zhang suddenly had a dream one day. In the dream, an old man with a white beard told him that his youngest son was destined to be an official in the future and he must be allowed to study. However, due to his hard life, his father will imitate his mother. When he is eight years old, both his parents will die. After hearing this, Mrs. Zhang cried and begged the old man. The old man told her that in order to avoid this disaster, she must recognize a couple as his adoptive parents, and the disaster can be passed on to the adoptive parents. Moreover, he had to go to Dongyan Temple in Mount Tai to burn incense and make wishes, and ask the monk to do things for him, so that he would be safe.
After waking up from the dream, Mrs. Zhang told her husband about the scene in the dream. Both husband and wife believed what they had dreamed about, and as a result, a "Ghost Fox Romance" happened in their little son...
