"Painted Skin" (simplified Chinese: 画皮) is a short ghost story written by the Chinese ghost story writer Pu Songling. Later, the title became an alias of the demon character in the tale. The title character is a ghoul which disguises itself as a beautiful young woman by fitting into a portrait of a woman drawn on a human skin. It hunts for men and eats its prey's hearts. The original story is the fortieth chapter of Pu Songling's famous short story collection Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio.
