Taking the strange beasts and mountains and rivers geography of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" as spiritual mirrors, it strips away the fantasy and redemptive color of traditional myths, and transforms every strange beast and every secret place in the mountains and seas into a concrete projection of the dark side of human nature in the real world. The book has no absolute protagonist, no heroic rescue, and no happy ending in which good and evil are rewarded. It only focuses on the strife, calculation, greed, betrayal, paranoia, and indifference between human natures, revealing the most real dangers and struggles deep in the human heart driven by desire, and constructing a pure collection of dark fables about human nature.
