The work encompasses various narratives, seemingly exploring themes of love, morality, and the consequences of human actions. Through dialogues between characters—such as scholars, ethereal beings, and creatures with anthropomorphic qualities—it amplifies human emotions and conditions, blending philosophical reflections with vivid storytelling. The opening of the collection introduces a character named 寧 who is portrayed as a diligent scholar, preoccupied with books and philosophical musings. While taking a rest in a garden, he encounters a mystical fox spirit disguised as a woman, which leads to an intellectual exchange between them. This exchange culminates in a relationship marked by seduction and a subsequent decline in 宁's health, primarily attributed to his growing infatuation and waning academic pursuits. This portion establishes the duality of attraction and distraction, setting the tone for the tales that follow, which are likely to intermingle the supernatural with the everyday, revealing deeper truths about human nature.
