This world has two faces. What you see is a bustling city, but on the other side - the strange beasts in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" never disappear, they are just "folded" into the cracks of reality.
Chen Xuan is a suspense writer who writes "Chinese Weird Tales" and is also an investigator of the Examination Bureau. His "seeing the subtle" ability can sense the emotions remaining on objects, at the cost of enduring the pain of others. When he was six years old, his father died in front of him. When he touched his father's body, he "saw" it for the first time - what his father was thinking about before he died was him.
Kyuubi was the trainee assistant assigned to him, and he always disliked him because of his confusing words. But she could smell the depth of people's hearts, knew the struggle under his indifference, and knew why she was placed next to him.
When they traced the incident of the alien species running out of control, an ancient secret surfaced: the tiger talisman of the Queen Mother of the West that had disappeared for thousands of years, the master sealed in the ancient painting, and the mother Jiuwei had never seen... All the clues pointed to the same place - the ruins of Kunlun.
Diao Ye said: "Your master is still alive."
"There are certain boundaries that cannot be crossed," Shozosuji said.
Kyuubi said: "If I can live for hundreds of years, how should I remember someone who has only been with me for a few decades?"
Chen Xuan held her hand and did not push it away for the first time:
"Then I will give you all these decades."
The mountains and seas return, and everything has animism. This is a story about protection, prejudice and love, allowing all aliens to be seen.
