《聊齋志異》中的故事。馮翁年近六旬，膝下一子相如。他潛心讀書，但運氣不佳，屢考不中。一夜，相如在院中讀書，忽然傳來“索索”的聲音。只見牆上一美麗少女，含情脈脈地看他讀書。相如請她下來，問她姓名，方知叫紅玉。從此紅玉夜夜必到，一人互相愛慕，山盟海誓。一晚，馮翁從相如門口過，撞見紅玉，責駡相如。紅玉見狀，悄悄溜走，從此再也沒來。後來，相如娶妻衛氏，夫妻恩愛並生一男孩，名喚福兒。然而，鄉里惡霸宋某見衛氏姿色好，帶家奴搶走衛氏，氣死馮翁。有一天，一位勇士撞進相如房內說：“難道你忘了父搶妻之仇嗎?”相如忙把想報仇，

但無計策的心事告訴了勇士。就在當晚惡霸宋某人頭落地，縣衙懷疑相如，派人捉拿歸案。晚上，縣令剛躺下，就見一把利丸紮在床頭，縣令害怕，放了相如。相如回到家後不久，聽到門外有小孩說話聲，開門見是紅玉帶著福兒進來。紅玉笑著說：“我不是凡人，我是狐仙，知你必有大難，一直在暗中保護你。”從此，紅玉再也未走，幫相如操持家務，教育孩子。
