    🍀🍇🍀In Fujian, there's a saying: A promise from Mazu is more effective than anything else. 🍑Lin Hai'en conceived during Qingming Festival and was born on the Winter Solstice, destined for a life of yin and yang, attracting wandering ghosts who wanted to take his body. Fortunately, his midwife took him to a Mazu temple to cast divination blocks, and he succeeded three times, surviving thanks to Mazu's protection. 🍃Things were relatively peaceful until the Lunar New Year procession.

    Reader note

    An old teahouse with a plaque bearing the name of a former dynasty's top scholar, and a storyteller. He doesn't tell tales of fantasy or martial arts, but of the ancient well at the end of the alley that reflects past images, of a scholar's chance discovery of a bronze mirror that reflects human greed, and of the strange and warm stories hidden in the folds of everyday life. The stories always end abruptly at crucial moments, leaving the listeners with a lingering sense of unfinished business. Though they tell fantastical tales, they reflect the human heart. There are no heroes who fly or leap, only the well-keeper tormented by memories, and the scholar who sees his own filth reflected on the path to fame. The stories are a mix of truth and fiction, like the origin of the teahouse plaque; after hearing them, one might experience a moment of bewilderment.
