The night is cool, quiet, and beautiful. Alone and lonely, I stood at the entrance of the deep cave; water trickled down from the cracks in the cave walls, and the clear droplets fell on the stones, creating beautiful splashes. I silently gazed at the bright moon in the sky, listening to the howling wind. At the entrance is the thousand-year-old plum tree that I planted; its flowers are blown around by the wind and gradually disappear in the Tianshan Mountains covered in snow. And I—the master of the Netherworld Cave—sit quietly on this famous Buddhist mountain, observing the changes in the world... I am willing to wait for a thousand years in exchange for a lifetime of your love. Time flows like a song; in the blink of an eye, a thousand years have passed. A thousand years of cultivation, a thousand years of waiting – I have remained here all this time. The moonlight shines down upon me from afar, triggering memories of the past in my mind. It was also a night with a moon as bright as silver; amidst the gentle sound of the wind, there came a soft knocking at the door. I, who was in the process of cultivating, opened the door and saw a scholar dressed in thin clothes. His fair, delicate complexion and flowing garments gave him a less worldly appearance. I am a white fox that has been practicing cultivation for a thousand years. Although I am not human, I possess human-like emotions such as love and hatred. Thus, my heart, which had remained closed for so long, now has a place to belong to. He climbed mountains and crossed rivers just for that Tian Shan snow lotus that could save his mother, but he had no idea that the snow lotus was not so easy to obtain. The master once warned that the Tianshan snow lotus is a rare treasure in the world, blooming only once every thousand years. For us foxes, consuming just one snow lotus is equivalent to practicing for thousands of years. Therefore, I keep in mind my master’s teachings and follow our unique religious beliefs. For a thousand years, it has remained alone on the summit of the Tianshan Mountains. Walking with the gentle breeze and accompanied by the bright moon, the occasional astronomical wonders become a source of longing in my heart. The peach blossoms at the entrance of the cave have bloomed and withered again and again, enduring many changes over time. In order to achieve success in my cultivation as soon as possible, I waited patiently, enduring this loneliness. Today, I met the man I fell in love with at first sight; how should I choose? Should I give him the snow lotus against my master’s wishes, or... Seeing him so anxious filled me with great pain. So, despite my master’s objections, I used magic to fly to the cliffs of the Tianshan Mountains where the snow lotus grew, and picked that flower of mine that had existed for a thousand years. At this moment, I only wish to exchange my true feelings for my love; I would rather be reduced to my original form by my master, willing to wait for a thousand years in exchange for his love throughout his life. I returned to the Nether Cave and handed the snow lotus to him; he was extremely grateful. However, I don’t want his gratitude; I just hope he can hear my sincerity. A cool breeze awakened me from my memories. How many nights have I spent awake in bed, his handsome face constantly appearing in my mind? On several occasions in my dreams, I walked hand in hand with him, wandering through the beautiful landscapes of the Tianshan Mountains. But every time I wake from a dream, I can’t help it and end up in tears. Has he really forgotten? Forgotten the true feelings I had for him? Can he hear the call from my heart? I don’t ask for a lifetime of together, just to meet again in this life. In those hazy dreams, it seems I can hear someone’s call……
