Blurb One:
A long, long time ago, rumors began to spread that a fox immortal lived on the mountain. But the fox immortal had not appeared for years, and the rumors gradually faded until even the incense offerings stopped.
One day, a woman crashed into the fox immortal's stone monument and died.
A little fox ate her offerings and, feeling sorry for her, restored her appearance and buried her.
But the more it looked at her, the more it felt that the woman resembled its own human form.
A bright idea struck the little fox. It extracted the memories left in her soul and learned that she had been a D-list actress in the entertainment industry. Just as her career was finally gaining some momentum, she had faced one suggestive demand after another, been suppressed, and attacked by online smear campaigns.
But the little fox didn't care about any of that. It wanted to go down the mountain and eat delicious food!
Human food was delicious.
Human emotions were delicious.
But human malice? Ugh, even dogs wouldn't eat that.
To get money for good food, the dazzling little fox made a tentative foray into the entertainment industry, only to send absolutely everyone flying.
She went on a dating show.
While everyone else busied themselves finding a partner and manufacturing buzz, the little fox was busy finding a pot and lighting a stove to roast chestnuts.
While the others completed challenges by the river, camping sweetly together, roasting marshmallows, and creating romantic moments, the little fox simply took the celebrity guest away to catch fish. The scent of the grilled fish even drew in villagers and created a business opportunity.
She acted in a TV series.
While everyone else busied themselves grabbing attention and fighting over billing order, the little fox was busy asking the crew for a boxed meal.
While the others honed their acting skills to attract more directors' attention, the little fox simply acted with genuine feeling. She even made the award-winning actress acting opposite her cry.
The little fox panicked.
