About This Novel
This morning, Tonghua Town was in chaos for a while. There was no other reason. Cai Chu'er, a stranger who lived alone in the east of the town, was robbed by the Chihuo Immortal the night before. Cai Chi'er's original name was Cai Pingsheng. He had trouble studying in his early years and lost his family's land to floods for many years, so he ended up living here. I used to make a living by writing letters and painting with others, but then my business went bleak, so I started to have some crooked ideas. Because his maternal uncle was in the medicine business in the early years and had some knowledge of medicine, he mixed the cinnabar and realgar with some medicinal powders such as Tzu Shi and made some harmful pills for the entertainment of the rich children in the town. Because of this, he has never been well received by his neighbors. After eating the pills he made, people would feel itchy all over, so he was nicknamed Cai Chi'er.
