Painted Scholar

In the 17th year of Yongjinghe Period, Han Mo from Qingshui Town was 16 years old. He was just a boy short of one college examination to become a scholar. That day he dug out a fragment of a volume in a used bookstore and read a story about painted skin. When he went home that night, the shadow on the wall was half a beat slower than him. He said nothing. He is a time traveler, and he knows exactly what this means. Then he swallowed the first demon pill. The tiger pill strengthens its bones, the snake pill adds to its scales, and the fox pill gives birth to its charm. Whatever he swallows, something grows in his body. His appearance became more and more beautiful, and the aura on his body became more and more alluring. But when he looked in the mirror, he always felt that the face in the mirror didn't match his own. The human form will eventually fade away, and the animal form will eventually be revealed. But Han Mo always remembered one thing. He is a scholar. Even under this human skin, a demon will eventually grow.
