[Episodic] [No Romance] [Folklore and the Supernatural] [A Shanghai-Style Night Parade of a Hundred Demons]
The straight-faced synopsis: Lin Jiu runs a little bar that only opens late at night.
It doesn't take renminbi for drinks, only strange stories its patrons have experienced firsthand.
Anyone who knocks at midnight, human or otherwise, can trade a chilling tale from their own experience for a glass of liquor made just for them.
A pregnant black cat seeking revenge, a ghostly military convoy on the national highway, an old keepsake delivered by the dead... One bizarre, mysterious tale after another unfolds here amid the scent of wine.
And Lin Jiu keeps watch over the bar, listening to a hundred strange stories from across the world…
In plain words: This story basically has no main plot, and the stories aren't very connected. Just treat them as bedtime stories for each night, a surefire way to fall asleep!
