However, the monster was unwilling to be caught and asked Si Wenlang to help her complete a task. This task was about the proofreading of an ancient document. Si Wenlang agreed to the monster's request and helped her complete the mission. The demon was extremely grateful and invited Si Wenlang to her house as a guest. In the process of being a guest, the monster showed Si Wenlang his beauty and talent and told Si Wenlang about his life experience and story. In the end, Si Wenlang was attracted by the beauty and talent of the monster and fell in love with it. But he knew he couldn't be with a monster because a monster was a monster. Si Wenlang felt very distressed, so he decided to give up his love and return home. At the end of the story, Si Wenlang returned home, but he had already become distant.
