Strange Stories from Liaozhai
About This Novel
In the 20th year of Kangxi's reign, rain knocked on the window at night. Pu Songling, a down-and-out scholar, wrote about strange things in his private school outside Zichuan City. He never thought that every story he wrote would quietly disturb the fragile balance of the three realms. A mysterious woman dressed in white gave him a glazed fox lamp. Wherever the green lamp shone, the ink marks reflected the threads of cause and effect and the karma of the soul. He gradually realized that the fox ghosts he wrote were not illusions, but lamentations forgotten by reality; the pen and paper in his hands not only recorded, but also became a seal that sealed away the resentful spirits and delayed the collapse of the world. Deeper, the secret of half-human and half-fox sleeping in his blood gradually awakens, leading to a shocking conspiracy stemming from the human-vulture war a hundred years ago and related to the existence of heaven. Pu Songling had to change from the recorder of stories to the patcher of fate. With Qingqiu Fox Fairy Bai Heng, Sword Cultivator Ling Chen, Amnesia Yin Chao Mochou, and the souls that have been redeemed by his writings - Nie Xiaoqian's obsession, Ying Ning's tears of laughter, Lian Suo's Qin Xin, and Painted Skin Ghost's tragic wish - they embark on a road of salvation full of thorns. The Netherworld, the human world, the mirror realm, the top of Mount Tai... Multiple battlefields are unfolding at the same time. In the end, he needed to use his blood as a guide, the fox lamp as his pen, and the original manuscript of "Liao Zhai" he wrote throughout his life as a volume to write the last chapter "Record of Mending the Sky". A volume of "Liao Zhai", a solitary lamp, a grand journey across Yin and Yang to mend the sky. When you open this book, what you read is not only a bizarre story, but also the heartbeat of a world reborn in the ink marks.
