Features: A new series of narrative novels. Written by emerging writers, fully crafted, ancient stories with a modern twist. Exploring the meanings behind idioms like "Ye Gong's Love for Dragons," "Waiting for a Hare at a Stump," "Blinded by a Single Leaf," and subverting the original intent of idioms. Offering original stories that are both fascinating and romantic, passionate and magical. The Call of Dragons explores the difficulties of maintaining divine qualities in the human heart under different cultural backgrounds and life circumstances, including anxiety, confusion, and ultimately, liberation and self-acceptance. Strange Hare Tales is a collection of five short stories that blend nonsensical, carnival-like banter with intellectual games, as the author delves into serious topics such as "civilizational conflicts" and "the path of autocracy." The Invisibility Man uses the magician's art to present seven vastly different outcomes brought about by the "Magic Leaf." The magical leaf, the invisible village, and the rapidly shifting social dynamics bear striking resemblance to our reality.
