In the shadows of this strange and dazzling modern city lurk anomalies beyond ordinary perception: weeping dolls, whispering mirror realms, and invasions from other dimensions... The Myriad Wonders General Store is the last line of defense against these “abnormal” events.
The store’s manager, Zhou Ning, carries a family heirloom Tang-style saber and lives by the motto, “There’s nothing a blade can’t cut through.” Hot-tempered and adept at laying spirits to rest by force, he makes an unusual pair with Yu Hui, who wields a mysterious dagger and is as cool as ice, a walking tactical analysis engine. From the day they met, the two have been at each other’s throats: one calls the other a “reckless fool who ruins everything,” while the other curses him as a “calculating nitpicker.” Their sharp-tongued banter makes them a comedy duo on the move. But when danger strikes, they are each other’s most reliable support, their blades and shadows working together flawlessly.
Their team is an even stranger bunch: Keyboard, a tech geek who can hack into any system; Nightingale, a gossip queen with an encyclopedic knowledge of the latest rumors; Rock, a thickheaded giant with an impenetrable defense; Chameleon, a master of disguise who can become anyone; Qing Nang, a gifted healer who’s always worried her teammates will get themselves killed; a mad scientist; and Xiao Wu, a divine beast with a knack for snark. Their everyday lives are chaotic, but on a mission they can unleash astonishing power.
From bizarre urban legends to dimensional crises that threaten the foundations of the world, their daily routine is to bicker and trade barbs as they dance on the edge of a blade, again and again. This is the story of a group of “unreliable” people who protect the peace and bustle of the ordinary world in the most “reliable” way possible. Expect high-octane battles you could never imagine, along with hilarious everyday antics that will have you rolling with laughter.
