There is a "Wangchuan Bookstore" on the corner of the old city that is open until early in the morning.
The boss, Bai Ze, is a young man who always smiles warmly. He has a pair of long rabbit ears that are invisible to ordinary people and can tremble slightly with his emotions - he is a strange beast recorded in the "Book of Mountains and Seas" that "speaks untruthfully".
His ability is to tell "lies" that are convincing, but the price is that no one takes the truth he tells for twenty-four hours.
He runs a special "transit station" in this modern city:
The bookshelves in the outer room are filled with old books to accommodate the lonely souls who have not returned home late at night; the "Strange News" in the inner room records the true names and secrets of the creatures of the mountains and seas hidden in the world.
This is the corner where the Pegasus "Shahu" disguised as a courier, the landlord "Yingyu" who is worried that his real body will scare the tenants, and the plant elves "Dixiu" who heals anxiety with the fragrance of flowers exchange news.
It is also a safe haven for lost humans, where they can drink a cup of hot milk and talk about something they have nowhere to express.
Bai Ze does not use his ability to seek grand miracles, but only weaves "harmless lies":
Let the quarreling parents "suddenly remember" the original intention of loving each other, help the eared mouse bloodline who is afraid of heights reconcile with the ordinary self, and teach the lonely drought bird "Zong" to learn to observe the real needs of human beings...
Every visitor who comes to the door late at night brings with him a dilemma. And with his small, almost cunning kindness, he gently pried open a ray of light.
When the morning light shines through the window, the bookstore closes, and the city wakes up.
The secret of last night has been turned into a faded candy wrapper and a piece of iridescent scales, stored in a wooden cabinet - this is proof that in the modern city, mountains, seas and the world coexist quietly.
