My name is Xue Hong, and I'm a fanatic about the world of the Classic of Mountains and Seas. It's no exaggeration to say that there's nothing I don't know about the parts of that world recorded in history. Of course, I mean the parts that were recorded. I'm no all-knowing god, so how could I know what history buried?
Yes, I really do collect myths and legends from every source I can find. But I wasn't ready to venture into this world of mountains and seas alone!
“Quit howling and get over here to help! Are we just going to ignore the drought in the Western Wastes and the refugees in the Eastern Marshes?” A voice called out, urgent and more than a little irritable.
“Damn it, that gluttonous Taotie is causing trouble again on the trade route to Youdu, extorting travelers. Tupo has the important duty of guarding Youdu and can't leave for long. Hurry up and come with me!”
“Coming, coming! Jiang Yu, don't drag me! If you're in such a hurry, why not take A Jue with you?”
“Stop talking and move it!” Jiang Yu urged, leaving no room for argument.
“Fine, fine! One last thing: as someone who has lived through this part of history, I sincerely invite you to join me in this strange world, where humans stand alongside gods and ferocious beasts roam free.
Come see how humanity, with courage, wisdom, and perseverance, will write a brilliant new chapter. Welcome to the world of Shanhai.”
