This novel revolves around four popular internet catchphrases from 2009: “Money is no object,” “the lonely crowd,” “a tragic farce,” and “legend.” It tells the stories of rich kid Qian Dawei, whose showing off in a QQ group sets off a series of events; Wang Fan and a lonely, vengeful spirit; Liu Lili, whose heartbreak leads her into a life-or-death ordeal over a “tragic farce”; and the spooky showdown between “Fearless” and “Bold Beyond Measure” in a haunted house. Each story is built around its catchphrase, with bizarre plots full of horror and absurdity.
