Old Volumes in the Clouds

Five thousand years of Chinese legends were all sealed in an ancient book. The heaven and earth moved, and the scrolls scattered around the world, turning into living mythical beasts and spirits. Shuwan, a book boy, and Shen Guiyan, a cold-faced demon hunter, embark on a journey to find scrolls. From the misty rain in Suzhou to the snowy peaks of Kunlun, they collect golden crows, suppress dragons, cross the Eight Immortals, and subjugate hundreds of beasts. Every legend is a mirror of the human heart, and every return is a ceremony of reconciliation with loneliness. This is a love letter to Chinese mythology and a heart-warming adventure about memory and companionship. The writing style is classical yet smart, and the plot is fantastic yet affectionate. If you've ever believed in legends, this book will make you believe again.
