The Wonderful Museum

Late at night, on an obscure street corner, there is a mysterious shop.

It sells nothing, waiting only for those destined to find it.

Every item in the shop holds a strange and wondrous story. Let me tell them to you, one by one.

Each eerie object sets in motion a sweeping tale. Here you'll find marvelous curiosities and a mysterious museum curator who leaps through time in search of his lost soul.

Flesh, suicide letters, bells, desire bugs, red roses…

Fated visitor, I'm Bai Chen, the curator. Welcome to the Museum of Marvels.

[PS: This novel tells one story after another, with the protagonist simply tying them together. The focus is often behind the scenes, and sometimes the protagonist appears very little, so the characters in each story take center stage. The point of view changes frequently. There is no female lead, but there are important female characters.]
