A heartwarming, healing urban fantasy. An ensemble cast with love, friendship, family bonds, and a master-disciple relationship built on mutual devotion.
Ji Shiyu has never pinned her hopes on anyone else.
Keeping the craft of fire-staff performance alive and bringing this little-known intangible cultural heritage into the spotlight is her pursuit, and the foundation of her livelihood.
After a performance, exhausted, she made an exception and put her faith in the supernatural. That left her with a new responsibility.
Seriously, can someone explain to this hedgehog how to repay a debt of gratitude properly? Repaying someone doesn't mean risking your life, you silly hedgehog.
If you died, where would I find another boyfriend so sincere?
Bai Ji came from the mountains. After wandering around for days, he never experienced the "road traffic tribulation" he'd expected. Instead, he nearly got flattened, and almost lost his life and soul.
Fortunately, he found his timely savior.
But the world is a hard place. Passing down niche crafts is difficult, and it's even harder for spirits to earn enough points to qualify as human.
But they aren't afraid.
With a medical-prodigy hedgehog who's a bit of a fool by her side, along with the crafts they've collected and the spirits they've taken in along the way, she'll make it sooner or later.
A mouse who performs with fire staffs, a gecko who becomes a stunt actor, a crow who mends porcelain, a swallow who becomes a travel blogger, and all their other companions are on the road too.
Theme: Passing down traditional crafts and protecting the bonds we cherish.
