The novel tells the bizarre stories of monsters living in the modern metropolis, such as the Shadow Demon who is determined to achieve enlightenment, the hedonistic Earth Wolf, and the idol singer Luo Tian. It peeks into the hidden inner worlds of these monsters and gradually reveals the mysterious realms hidden beneath the city's surface. The monsters from the Shan Hai Jing who have not left havebuted in this urban landscape. In this modern city with a population of over five million, there are over three thousand monsters working as taxi drivers. The Shadow Demon, the Shadow Demon's best friend, is a die-hard hedonist. He spends painstaking efforts to accumulate wealth just to own a clean sea of his own; the idol singer Luo Tian is entangled in scandals and is passionate about singing despite being tone-deaf. Adding to the mix are the eccentric and playful Little Nine-Tailed Fox, the willful and domineering Bi Fang, and the timid and unlucky Lu Shu. In this bustling, fantastical city, plays out a series of bizarre and amusing scenarios between monsters and humans, as well as between monsters themselves.
