During the Ming Dynasty, there was a scholar named Su Linye in Chaozhou. On the way back from an exam, he passed by a Taoist temple. He had a tour in the Taoist temple and saw a picture of a beauty in a house inside.
The beauty picture shows a peerless beauty with her eyes shining and red lips slightly opened. Su Linye was very moved. He has been well-read since childhood, and he is over thirty years old this year, and there are very few beauties around him. Although the matchmaker has introduced him to several marriages, the girls always have accidents a few days before their marriage, which has caused Su Linye to fail to get married.
A Taoist priest came to Su Linye. He saw Su Linye staring at the beauty picture and realized that Su Linye had taken a look at the beauty in the painting. He calculated with his fingers and sighed a long time after calculating. He told Su Linye that if he meets a young and beautiful girl in the future, he must persuade him to do good, otherwise he will be at risk of being a bachelor for the rest of his life.
When Su Linye asked the Taoist priest why, the Taoist priest did not answer him and turned around and left the room. Su Linye did not stay in the Taoist temple. After playing, he set out on the journey home again. After arriving at home, he followed the advice of the matchmaker and went out leisurely and often to walk outside so that he could meet more girls.
Two years have passed in the blink of an eye. Su Linye has seen many beauties. Ordinary girls can no longer like him. The girls he can like don’t like him. Su Linye has physiological needs to be met. He dragged the beauties he met into the grass when he took the opportunity. The beauties were worried that the villagers would laugh at and dared not speak out to the public, which also encouraged Su Linye’s courage.
On the evening of the day, Su Linye met a beautiful woman on the street again. He went up to chat with the beautiful woman and then defiled her as usual. However, the beautiful woman seemed to be not afraid of him at all. When Su Linye finished everything and was about to leave, she grabbed Su Linye's neck.
The beauty was named Li Huantian. Her real body was only otter . She turned into a human form and married a mortal. She had always been accustomed to being domineering in the crowd. Now Su Linye has despised her. She can't stand such humiliation. Seeing that Su Linye's life was about to be taken away, a Taoist priest who had traveled here stopped her
This Taoist priest was admonishing Su Linye, but Su Linye did not feel at ease with his words. She was greedy for beauty and even her studies were abandoned. Li Huantian was no match for the Taoist priest. She let go of Su Linye and fled to another place.
Su Linye was pinched to breathe a sigh of relief. After expressing his gratitude to the Taoist priest, he was determined to change his past. However, it was too late for him to regret it. Then Li Huantian was a vengeful master. Since being defiled by Su Linye, he has been thinking about how to take revenge.
Since that night, something strange happened to Su Linye. His body was getting thinner and thinner day by day, and eating and drinking wildly was useless. After only two months, he became skinny and bone-skinned. The villagers were talking behind him, saying that he was mostly plagued by evil spirits and advised him to find a Taoist priest to take a look, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
Su Linye learned from his previous lessons and asked someone to invite the Taoist priest home and set up a banquet to entertain him. The Taoist priest refused to tell Su Linye all the truth before because this incident had seen through the secrets of heaven. He revealed to the outside world that he would inevitably suffer from the heavenly disaster and end his life. Now Su Linye kept asking him for answers and kneeled down for him.
Taoist answered him helplessly, and he said, "You were great charitable people in your first two lives and did many things that benefit others. It just so happened that there were seven evil ghosts in the underworld. They were all women during their lifetime. The judge wanted you to take them to the right path before marriage, but you did not do this, so they were brought back to hell by Wuchang a few days before marriage and suffered."
Su Linye was skeptical about the Taoist's words, and the Taoist also expected this. He held Su Linye's palm and took him to hell. Su Linye met his seven wives in hell.
The first one is Su Muning, the daughter of the rich man Su family. She had set a marriage date with Su Linye. However, three days before the marriage, Su Muning had a conflict with her father. After she killed Qianzhu Su, she took away all the money from the family. Before doing this, she had asked Su Linye about her opinion. Su Linye was also greedy for Qianzhu Su's wealth and did not stop Su Muning, which led to Su Muning's misfortune and falling into the water and dying. The five wives after
all died because of evil deeds and were taken to hell by Wuchang to endure a thousand years of punishment. The only one who escaped from Wuchang was Li Huantian, the last wife of Su Linye. Because Li Huantian retained the memory of being in hell, after she was reborn as an otter, she did not want to be merciless of the underworld. After becoming a humanoid, she immediately married another human. Even so, half of her clone was still frozen in the iceberg hell.
The reason why Su Linye is getting thinner is because Li Huantian sucked away his yang energy. In order to revenge Su Linye, Li Huantian would sneak into Su Linye's home in the middle of the night every day, absorbing Su Linye's yang energy bit by bit until Su Linye dies.
Su Linye couldn't help but feel extremely regretful after learning the whole truth. However, he had done everything he shouldn't have done, and there was no room for a turnaround. After he and the Taoist priest returned from hell, he came to the county government office to surrender and spent the rest of his life in prison. And Li Huantian was eventually brought back to hell by Wuchang.
