Mr. Pu’s Mysterious Side Hustle: Unmasking Fox Spirits, Ghosts, and Gods in a Whole New Strange Tales

[Standalone stories + leveling up by defeating monsters + dark humor + ghost and fox tales + folk supernatural stories + plot twists] Liaozhai is about more than fox spirits and ghosts in love. Come see Pu Songling’s day-to-day life as a part-time odd-jobber! A down-on-his-luck tutor with no money and an even sharper tongue, he carries the magical Immortal Brush and takes on side jobs, claiming he can settle certain matters involving ghosts and gods. His partner is a black dog who fears death, loves money, and has plenty of street smarts. Together, man and dog roam the Three Realms (cross that out) and sneak around in them! Classic Liaozhai tales return in a whole new show, with laughs, adorable moments, and tears taking turns: A hunter is inexplicably chosen as the Mountain God’s son-in-law, and an outrageous betrothal gift leads to a hilarious mess. A scholar speaks his mind at the examination, only to face one attempt on his life after another. A strange boy formed inside someone’s ear accidentally gets caught up in a trading chain in the underworld. A zombie coal mine deep in the mountains hides a sinister business that fires souls into glazed roof tiles... Ghost stories fill every page, with laughter, curses, and all manner of bizarre happenings across the Three Realms. Yet what they tell are tales of life in all its variety, and the warmth of everyday human connections.
