Deep in an alley in an old town stands a shop called Ruyi House. Only those destined to find it can meet its owner, have their wishes fulfilled, and put their worldly entanglements to rest. Here, the curtains rise on one story after another from the past.
I love wine, and I love stories. I’ve heard countless tales and met all kinds of people, all troubled by love and yearning for love. I can grant their wishes, but who will grant mine?
