Story:
Once upon a time, there lived a man named Juanshu Liang, who was inherently foolish and timid.
One beautiful moonlit night, as he was making his way home, he noticed a dark shadow constantly following him, shifting in size. He immediately assumed it was a ghost stalking him and fled home in terror.
Tragically, it was his own shadow, cast by the moonlight, that ultimately frightened him to death.
