Synopsis

[Historical fantasy + xianxia + one story for each creature + sweet and bittersweet tales in a variety of styles]

Xi Feng was once a renowned war god and general in the Celestial Realm, but by order of the Heavenly Emperor, he became the sidekick of the mythical beast Bai Ze.

And so Bai Ze took Xi Feng on a journey through the world, searching for the various spirits whose names had once appeared in the Illustrated Guide to Strange Creatures by Bai Ze.

“Nine-Tailed Fox”: Beneath a willow tree, a snow-white fox watched the scholar’s retreating figure. After this parting, they would never meet again.

“Fen Sheep”: A fluffy gray mouse traded its own heart for a promise from a princess, all so it could take that person home.

“Bai Ze”: Xiezhi told Bai Ze that he could tell right from wrong and loyal from treacherous, but he could also tell what was worth doing. He believed his life was worth trading for Bai Ze’s.

“Qitu”: She was both the three-headed bird cursed as an ugly monster and the beautiful little fairy Wu. Everything she did was to protect the little girl she loved!

“Xiangliu”: Three thrones clashed, three royal cities fought, and three pairs of brothers stood by one another. Whatever the outcome, peace was finally won for all under heaven. The journey was arduous, but they had no regrets!

“Youguang”: He was once the purest, clearest little flame. But for a promise that was like a lie, he became the “bringer of plague” in everyone’s eyes, and unwittingly caused countless deaths.

“Nuba”: Now that I’m no longer beautiful and my voice no longer bewitches, Yinglong, will you still recognize me?

“Feiyi”: I may be the most useless monster in the world. I can’t even protect myself, and I’ve only dragged her down...

After reading it on a quiet night, I turned off the lights and faced the dark night sky, recalling a few short stories. Each vivid character appeared on the page, with joy and sorrow, the cunning and the purest kindness of the human heart, and the tear-jerking moments... Giving up your life for a promise, a mortal. I think this is the most kind, innocent, and even stupid and pitiful side of a monster who has not been involved in human affairs. If you don't let me down, I will definitely let you down. Gods and monsters don't have any magical powers, they just have a crystal clear heart. The author's writing style is vivid and delicate, with a little bit of humor. It's really good to read. I highly recommend it. Can you read more?

I really like this kind of article that connects short stories together. The author's writing style is vivid and delicate. Many of the demons in the article are affectionate and touching, and some of the people in the article also like it very much, such as Xiaoer, Princess, Gongyun, Ruier... Every story is so exciting that I always want to continue to see the follow-up. Bai Ze and Xifeng haven't recognized each other yet, the past of Xifeng and Huangdi's daughter Nvba (can't remember the actual word, it's not ), whether Xiaoer and Gu are together, whether the scholar and the fox have a better ending, whether Mimi can grow another heart... I really hope everyone has a happy ending.

The human world is just like this, but all the big and small loves in the world are reflected in this book. Every story is endlessly memorable.

Although the routines are similar, they are all fairy tales about crazy men and women, but the writing is good and a bit sad.
