Tales from Qiyun: Notes from the Little Time-Collector's Shop

During the plum-rain season, in Qiyun Alley, 28-year-old Lin Shen keeps the Little Shop of Time. She doesn't sell anything; she collects the stories hidden in old objects: an unfinished wedding shoe embroidered by a Republic-era seamstress, a century-old knocker that can talk, a sugar painting that devours childhood memories... These strange tales conceal feelings forgotten by time. She goes from record keeper to protector. Amid the old alley's everyday bustle, she helps spirits resolve their regrets and finds her own roots. When the demolition crews draw near, a strange-tales anthology filled with the memories of old objects lets the whole city see that some obsessions are simply a wish to be remembered. Women's fantasy · episodic supernatural tales · healing and personal growth. Come gather the tender feelings scattered through time.
