[Nanyang Series 2: Expected in 2023]
BLURB
There's a nursery rhyme:
Once there was a sea, and by the sea stood a town.
In the town lived General Kui, who opened his mouth to eat people.
*
Until a little girl met General Kui and received an unexpected coming-of-age gift from her.
She was only renting out a shopfront, so how did she become the "Mountain Kui's Bride"?
*
Mountain gods and sea spirits, distant lands and kingdoms, monsters and corpse kings.
*
#The story takes place in Malacca and Penang, Malaysia.
#Why there? Because I've actually been there~
