A few words on the book’s release, for all to read.

It will go premium at noon tomorrow, and I sincerely ask all readers for your support. Please subscribe.

For a long time now, Giant Bear has tried to write each story well, to make every character feel flesh and blood, as though they could step straight out of real life. That is something exceedingly rare across Qidian’s works.

Do you still remember the bold and unrestrained Yan Chixia? Zhuge Liuyun, who loved wine as though he were bewitched by it? Xiahou, who trusted only himself and no one else? The compassionate wandering monk of Jinshan Temple, who used his own body to seal the rift between yin and yang? The selfish Zhu Erdan? And Nie Xiaoqian, who longed for freedom above all else and stopped at nothing to obtain it? Ning Caichen, pedantic yet kind-hearted? Xiu Niang, the female ghost devoted to goodness? The greedy ghost who never once harmed anyone, even in death? And many more besides, each with a soul of his own, a story of his own.

Pu Songling’s Strange Tales of a Chinese Studio speaks of people through ghosts. My own strange tales speak even more of the human heart and confront human nature head-on.

Mountain foxes and wild spirits, the human heart and human nature—this is a world that is both real and cruel.

Giant Bear is a two-finger typist, so the writing is not fast. Each chapter can take several hours, and attentive readers may have noticed that updates often come at three or four in the morning. That proves nothing; I only mean to say that Giant Bear is writing this book earnestly and shaping every plot with care.

Here, I sincerely ask readers who like this book, wherever you may be reading it, please come to Qidian and support Giant Bear.
