The Arbiter

The Classic of Mountains and Seas is clearly a geography book, yet it records countless spirits and strange beasts. Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio is clearly a collection of supernatural tales, yet it tells a love story that has endured through the ages. It’s just like Mo Xiaochuan: despite bearing the heavy responsibility of protecting order in the human world, he insists on being an obscure little bar owner. Until one day, a popular movie star visits the Shanhai Bar, and Mo Xiaochuan discovers that she is actually a nine-tailed fox in disguise... From then on, the Shanhai Bar gradually stops selling liquor. It becomes the police criminal investigation team’s go-to consulting office, a temple worshipped by the rich, a sacred site revered by the entertainment industry, and a den of terror to all the spirits and strange beasts in the world. As the saying goes, Taoists capture demons, Buddhists subdue monsters, and when Shanhai is absent, ghosts and monsters run rampant. And Mo Xiaochuan is the last of the Shanhai lineage, its Arbiter.
