New Tales from Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio

Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio follows Pu Ming, a descendant of Pu Songling. After inheriting his family’s ancient, incomplete manuscript, he becomes a "ferryman" between the worlds of humans and demons. Alongside Xin Shisiniang, a thousand-year-old fox demon, he uses an ancient mirror to reveal the demons lurking in the city and puts data-wielding evil spirits on trial in a cybernetic hell. Using demons and ghosts to reflect contemporary social issues, the story explores the boundary between good and evil in human nature, and the legacy of civilization amid the fantastical worlds of AI cultivation and metaverse temples.
