窎橋王炳者出村，見土地祠中出一美人，顧盼甚殷。試挑之，歡然樂受。狎昵無所，遂期夜奔，炳因告以居址。至夜果至，極相悅愛。問其姓名，固不以告。由此往來不絕。時炳與妻共榻，美人亦必來與交，妻亦不覺其有人。炳訝問之。美人曰：「我土地夫人也。」炳大駭，亟欲絕之，而百計不能阻。因循半載，病憊不起。美人來更頻，家人都見之。未幾，炳果卒。美人猶日一至，炳妻叱之曰：「淫鬼不自羞！人已死矣，復來何為？」美人遂去，不返。

Wang Bing of Diaoqiao was going out of his village when he saw a beautiful woman come out of the Earth God's shrine. She kept glancing at him, very warmly. He tried flirting with her, and she welcomed it gladly. They had nowhere to be alone together, so they agreed that she would come to him at night, and Wang told her where he lived. That night she came, as promised, and they took great delight in each other. He asked her name, but she firmly refused to tell it. From then on she came and went without a break. Wang shared a bed with his wife, yet the beauty would still come and lie with him, and his wife never noticed that anyone was there. Astonished, Wang asked her about it. “I am the Earth God's lady,” she said. Wang was terrified and wanted to break it off at once, but nothing he tried could keep her away. Things dragged on like this for half a year, until he was so worn out with illness that he could not get up. The beauty came more often than ever, and the whole household saw her. Before long, just as might be expected, Wang died. Still the beauty came once a day. Wang's wife cursed her: “You lewd ghost, have you no shame? The man is dead. What do you keep coming for?” At that the beauty left and did not come back.
