If there really is a demon in the world, it would probably be like this in her writing
More than three hundred years ago, Pu Songling's "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" showed people those poignant and moving romantic love stories.
More than three hundred years later, Ying Xiaotai opened up a magical world of "The Story of Flowers in the Mirror" for us. She writes about people, monsters, love, hate, and all the dreams of crazy men and women in the world.
This is a fine wine brewed by Ying Xiaomai for ten years. After reading it, I felt very happy and drunk.
These are sixteen stories that are beyond your imagination. Each one speaks directly to your heart and will never be forgotten!
Reader comments
I really like this type of novel. When I was young, I often fantasized about whether the old objects in my home were alive; whether the rag doll that slept with me when I woke up would turn into a gentle and considerate big brother; Although I still fantasize when I grow up, I always lack some of the agility I had when I was a child. I am very grateful to the author for writing these fantasies into stories. In these stories, I feel the real joys and sorrows. Each story has different emotions, and each story touches my heart.
Every short story is beautiful, some make people feel sad, some make people feel regretful, and some make people feel sweet.
I really like these little stories. It feels like my childhood fantasies have turned into words and are presented in the author's writing... I lie on the bed at night, reading these little stories, imagining the people and things in the stories, imagining whether there will be a delicate flower elf hidden in the flowers raised by my grandma, whether the bunny doll will be sad because the eyes were crooked by my sewing, whether the light in the distant building is a fairy who is curious about the world, lighting candles in the middle of the night and trying to have an all-night conversation with the ghost...😂😂
It's so beautiful...(✪▽✪)
It's a very interesting book. It contains short essays one after another. Some of the short essays are related to each other and can be split and connected. They are both ancient and modern. They can be read as bedtime stories.
It's really good. Why hasn't anyone seen it? I love it so much.
I particularly like this kind of short stories. Each chapter is a different story. It is very dull, but there is also some elegance of life in the dullness.
It's a very interesting short story. An object represents a relationship of love and hate.
Every story is so touching. Some of the stories here have tortured me thousands of times, and I still feel like I fell in love with them when I read them. Some of the stories have happy endings and are very interesting. The author's writing is also very good. I hope there will be a next one! Looking forward to (๑˙ー˙๑)
I really like this kind of novel composed of short stories ❤️
I have read a lot of time travel articles, and I came across this short article by chance. It felt very fresh when I read it. Every short article leaves a meaningful impression!
It narrates one short story after another of joys and sorrows. I like it very much. It would be nice if there were more chapters, but there are too few.
The story is short, but each little story is given a mysterious color. It briefly describes the confusion of life, and the different choices made by each protagonist because of life. Maybe everyone's life and future are different, but no matter what, we are all alive. Whether we are happy or not, we are all alive. We have never thought about giving up. Maybe this is human beings.
The writing of this book is gentle. Although the story is simple, it is very interesting and detailed. I like such short stories.
It's a well-written, independent story.
Very exciting story!
The short stories one by one are quite interesting, but since they are small stories, they are all a bit lacking. Logically speaking, short stories should be short and concise, but the feeling of unfinished meaning is still a bit bland. The main reason is that the stories are bland, so I don't think they are particularly attractive. The front is just average, and the ghost stories at the back are good. I still support the author. Some of the stories are quite touching.
Very gentle writing, you will easily be transported into the world constructed by the author. Each story is very imaginative and really beautiful. The writing is also great. The rhythm is just right. Slowly, it takes you to see the world.
It's so poignant and evocative!

This book is different from others. It is composed of short stories one by one. The human feelings and worldly ways in it are particularly well written.
Beautiful, different stories and different emotions
There are only two words for "short of talent and shallow learning", it's beautiful😊
Very interesting, the story is short and concise
The story is short but complete, although sometimes a bit nonsensical
