Then one day... Heaven: You seem pretty ambitious. How about... Song Xi: No, I'm lazy, a shut-in, and have no ambitions. Heaven: What if you die? (smiles) Song Xi (crying out from the depths of his soul): No, I'm full of energy and won't give up! I have ambition and goals! (dropping hints frantically) Heaven: "..." And so Song Xi goes to the world of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio to stir things up.
