A fox with nine trailing tails. When it takes human form, its beauty is beyond what mortal eyes were ever meant to behold. Man or woman, whoever looks upon it is charmed. One smile is enough to make you walk willingly into its embrace, and your final thought is not fear but wonder at how beautiful it is, even as it swallows you whole. The hills of Qingqiu are strewn with hunters who died smiling. None were chased down or caught by force. They walked into the fox's jaws of their own accord. Eat its heart, and its enchantment becomes your own. A glance. A smile. A whispered word. Whoever you desire will surrender everything they have, even their life. But from that day, every vow rings hollow. You know too well how devotion is summoned, for it is the very spell you cast. Whether a heart loves you truly or has only fallen beneath your charm, you can never know. You may win the love of the whole world, yet never again believe a single heart belongs to you.
形如狐，却拖着九条尾巴，苍白如坟头青烟。它能化作人形，生得倾国倾城，男女见之，无不失魂。它不必追，不必扑，只消对你一笑，你便自愿走向它，心里满是欢喜，直到它将你生生吞下，你临死前想的，仍是它有多美。 青丘山中，多少猎人是笑着死的。他们不是被捕杀的猎物，是心甘情愿走进狐口的痴人。它从不勉强谁，它只是站在那里，让你自己舍不得离开。 食其心者，尽得它这副魅惑之能。你一颦一笑，皆能牵动人心；你想要谁，谁便死心塌地待你，为你倾尽所有，甚至性命。普天之下，再没有你得不到的人。 可你也从此，再信不得任何一个待你好的人了。你太清楚，那份深情是如何被勾出来的，因为那正是你日日在做的事。谁真心爱你，谁只是入了你的局，你永远分不清。 你能让全天下都爱上你，却再也不信有谁，是真心爱你的。
棲 青丘之山 Mount Qingqiu
有獸焉，其狀如狐而九尾，其音如嬰兒，能食人；食者不惑。
