Tan Shinsuke
The story in this book comes from the story column of Tan Shinsuke, a well-known respondent on Zhihu literary stories. It features real characters and historical backgrounds. It combines a variety of popular reading elements such as fantasy, suspense, and reasoning, and is also connected with some folklore and customs. For example, "Beheading the Dragon's Horns" is a metaphor for Yuan Shikai, and "Breaking Hell" is connected with the historical background of the Republic of China and Taoist culture. It reflects and satirizes reality through absurdity and magic, showing the cruelty of war, discrimination against women, charlatans and other phenomena, making people feel the causal cycle of good and evil being rewarded, and giving people a positive perception.
