Attention!! Actually, Book 1 of Floating Life has 3 extra volumes, namely:... more>>

1. Extra: Prequel-Tree Yaokai,

— I translated this novel as a tribute to the amazing novelist “Qiong Yao” by Hellowyellow.... more>>

In 1986, the novel was adapted into a Taiwanese romantic drama called Many Enchanting Nights. The drama was directed by Liu Lili and also starred famous Hong Kong actress Liu Xue Hua, Taiwanese actor Chin Han, and Lee Tien Chu.

Hellowyellow comment about the story: 5-10 out of 100 people must have experienced something like this. Maybe everyone who has experienced it has almost the same story framework, even though not all the details are the same… When old wounds are almost healed by time, life gives a test by sending acid rain on the wounds, which ultimately destroys faith and belief… When the body can no longer withstand the torture, the heart becomes cold and dead, hopes and dreams are destroyed by the cruelty of reality… Then, where should this self go?? To whom should this heart complain? And to whom is this hope anchored? —- Cruel?? regret? sad? hate?? ... Sigh, but life is always like that. <<less

One night, the power went out, so the four decided to play the `Pen Spirit´ game. But in doing so, they broke two major rules of the game: they asked the `Pen Spirit´ how it died and forgot to send it away at the end.

(T/N; 笔仙; Bixian, the actual meaning in English is ´Pen Fairy, but the translator feels that the Fairy is identical to a visible creature that has positive energy and is often depicted with beautiful creatures, for example: Tinkerbell, etc. But in this story, looking at the storyline, this is a story about a spirit summoning game board or the same as OUIJA, with a lot of negative energy and dark vibe. So, the Translator will use the word 'Pen Spirit' instead of 'Pen Fairy´.)

They were warned that if they didn´t properly send off the `Pen Spirit´, it would haunt them relentlessly. This curse would only end with their destruction.

A mysterious old woman dressed in black, an eerie black cat, strange looks from their neighbors, lurking shadows, a landlord who lives in a cemetery, and haunting songs that play in the dead of night—all these leave the four trapped between nightmare and reality, on the verge of collapse.
