[Welcome to the Midnight Dusk Bar, where every customer is a villain! Choose your drink carefully, or you might get swallowed whole!]
In Shanghai during the Republican era, the Midnight Dusk Bar has a staff of impossibly attractive people:
Owner Mo Zhu: a cool, otherworldly beauty who keeps strangers at arm’s length (actually a reincarnated powerhouse who can destroy demons with a gesture)
Bartender Jing Nan: warm and gentle, with a healing smile (actually a ten-thousand-year-old demon who hides a blade behind every smile)
Front desk clerk He Yin: alluring and charming, with a knack for winning people over (actually a god of war with poisonous spines, a killer without a trace)
Waiter Sang Lu: a shy little deer, sweet and harmless (actually a vicious healer who swallows villains whole)
On the surface: selling drinks, smiling politely, and breaking glasses.
In reality: national security agents! Gathering malice! Beating up demons! Keeping peace among the three realms!
And that’s not even the worst part. The way their boss, Director Wen, looks at Mo Zhu is so intense it could knit a sweater! He’s no ordinary government official. He’s an ancient ferocious bird who has waited thousands of years for love and walked straight into a trap!
When their disguises are torn away, the otherworldly beauty becomes a divine being who can command mountains and rivers; the gentle one turns into a blood-red sea; the alluring one reveals a crane’s shadow that blots out the sky; and the shy one bares bloodthirsty fangs!
At this bar in a chaotic age, drink the strongest liquor, watch the fiercest “bunny,” fall into the most heartbreaking romance (Director Wen is destined to chase his beloved through hell), and fight battles that can bring heaven and earth crashing down!
Shh, honored guest, your “Forget Your Worries” is here. Drink it and forget what you just saw the waiter swallow... Or perhaps you’d like to try the owner’s special, “A Thousand Years of Love’s Tribulation”? Guaranteed to leave… an unforgettable mark!
I was going to keep reading, but the eighty chapter was over (? So fast,,)
