New Tales of the Strange tells the story of Zhang Jian and Ye Li, a married couple who travel between the worlds of the living and the dead in a realm where demons run rampant and humans and ghosts live side by side. Zhang Jian is a scholar, but he possesses fearless courage and a kind heart. Ye Li wields wondrous magical powers and shows no mercy when vanquishing demons.
Their travels take them to every kind of haunted place: eerie old mansions, mist-shrouded valleys, and ghost-ridden villages. Each stop brings a heart-pounding tale. They may encounter an evil ghost sealed away for a thousand years, now free to roar with a fury that can shatter the mind, or a vengeful spirit whose deep resentment weaves a terrifying web of blood and tears. In these frightening encounters, Zhang Jian and Ye Li must not only face attacks from ghosts and monsters, but also unravel the secrets hidden behind them.
They seek light in the darkness, fighting evil with wisdom and courage. With every life-and-death battle against ghosts and monsters, the bond between husband and wife grows deeper. Each victory helps preserve the balance between yin and yang and adds another chapter to their legendary tale. And now, an unknown and terrifying place awaits, ready for them to uncover its secrets.
