This volume forms part of a compilation containing nearly 500 stories that blur the boundaries between the supernatural and everyday reality. The tales explore passionate emotional entanglements through encounters with ghosts, foxes, and otherworldly beings. Rather than frightening readers, these romantic and philosophical stories use vivid detail to make transitions between realms seem natural, while subtly critiquing societal problems of Qing dynasty China.
