Stay Away from the Living

[Chinese Mystery · Horror]

The contents are based on real events, but the background is entirely fictional. No cultivation. Purely supernatural.

The countryside is different from the city.

Rural areas are sparsely populated and lack enough human presence to suppress what lurks underground, so there are always countless ghost stories and legends.

Just ask any rural person from Sichuan or Shu, and they can probably tell you a whole lot about supernatural incidents that happened in the mountains and fields in years past.

People who have personally experienced strange events will believe them to be true.

People with a higher education, after hearing them, can’t help but dismiss them as superstition.

And the past can no longer be investigated, because the truth has long since vanished into the years.

In this era, there is no point in digging into it again, and even less need to.

To me, the mystical culture of Huaxia has left a heavy mark throughout my life.

Evil gods and ghosts in remote mountain villages, corpses that rose from the dead, spirit creatures in primitive forests, Qing-dynasty landlord tombs...

Amid those tumultuous years, I will adorn the things I once experienced in literary and dramatic form, and write them all down.

From the perspective of someone who lived through them, and with the truth I know, I will carefully explain the mysterious layer of the supernatural world to everyone.
