Synopsis

"Sou Shen Ji" is my country's first collection of supernatural novels, setting a precedent for ancient mythological novels in my country. There are 20 volumes of the book, which mainly collect stories about ghosts and gods, as well as some miscellaneous notes and many folklore, which to a certain extent reflect the thoughts and feelings of the ancient people. Although the story is short in length, it is deeply loved by the world for its clear language, unique imagination, and extremely romantic color.
