The countryside hides strange mysteries, while the city conceals the human heart!
Every strange occurrence in the world has its cause and its connections. This collection brings together stories from every walk of life, combining Chinese supernatural lore, ancient myths, rural secrets, urban human nature, suspenseful investigations, and the subtle games people play with one another!
Ghostly shadows at midnight in old country villages, taboo customs passed down through generations, tales of spirits in the mountains and forests, and ancient myths with a long history: every story is a secret of folk life, passed down by the older generation and never examined too closely!
