During the Kaiyuan reign of the Tang Dynasty, a tiger abducted a man's daughter to be his wife and built a house in the deep mountains to live. For two years, the woman did not realize his true identity. Later, two guests suddenly came with wine and drank with him in the house. He warned his wife: "These guests are somewhat unusual; be careful not to peek." Soon, they all fell drunk and asleep. The woman went to look and found that they were all tigers. She was extremely frightened but did not dare to speak. After a long time, the tiger transformed back into a human form and asked his wife: "Did you peek?" The woman replied: "At first, I did not dare to leave here, but later I suddenly missed home and wished to visit my family." After ten days, the husband took wine and meat and traveled with his wife, gradually approaching her home. They encountered deep water; the woman crossed first. As the tiger was lifting his clothes to cross, the woman joked: "Why is there a tiger's tail sticking out from behind you?" The tiger was greatly ashamed, did not cross the water, and galloped away, never to return.
