Tales from the Corner: A Dream of the Immortal Palace 角落往事之梦落仙宫
People often say that a scary story is one thing, but the words "based on a true story" are what really frighten you. But what if most of the story is raw truth, untouched by embellishment? What is the truth about demons and monsters? Have the legends passed down by word of mouth really left traces in this world? And the dragon: was it merely an ancient totem imagined by people, or did it truly exist? If it did exist, what might it have been like? And where in the world is the mist-shrouded Kunl
