Welcome to Peiping, a bizarre yet extremely real place in the Republic of China.
This is not only a historical scene where artillery fire and change are intertwined, but also a dark night arena where spirits whisper and obsessions linger. And in the center of this whirlpool, there is an inconspicuous tailor shop - "Xie Ji".
The shopkeeper, Xie Zhi, lives up to his name, being cold and taciturn. His fingertips can not only cut out the most gorgeous cheongsam, but also draw the cause and effect and measure the soul. Because he is not an ordinary person, but the incarnation of the ancient mythical beast Haechi. In this troubled world, he is responsible for "slaying the soul". Broken obsessions, blood-stained grievances, and minds eroded by magic... Are all the fabric he needs to "mend".
Myolie Tong, a banner girl whose family was in decline, was originally the landlord of this shop, but she became Xie Zhi's most capable assistant and witness. From curiosity and fear to gradual growth, she will work with you to glimpse the supernatural undercurrents and the unpredictability of the human heart beneath the surface of this prosperous imperial city.
This book uses the grand history from the Revolution of 1911 to the victory of the Anti-Japanese War as a picture scroll, and goes deep into the urban fabric in the form of a unit drama: the old dream of the former Qing Dynasty old man, the evil spirit of the warlord's adjutant, the blood-stained testimonies of progressive students, the long-standing resentment on the costumes of famous actors... Each story is a piece of "clothing" that needs to be repaired urgently, and behind it reflects the joys and sorrows of the times.
This is not just a fantasy story. It is an affectionate look back at an era and a eulogy for justice and integrity.
Please follow us to open the door of "Xie Ji", a "clothes" that carries the hatred of country and family, love and hate, is waiting for you to unlock its secrets...
