Plot:
Count D, who is dressed in a long gown with Chinese patterns and looks more charming than a woman, runs a pet shop on China Street in a certain city, bringing you fantastic animals, mysterious experiences, and fragrant aromas that steam up human desires and original sins. In the world of novels, animals are often used to symbolize negative personalities such as madness and lewdness. In the legends of werewolves and vampire bats in the West, and Zeus in Greek mythology often incarnates in various animals to meet his lovers; in the East, fox spirits, gluttons, monsters, snake demons and other animal-incarnated ghosts and monsters also carry the stigma of human despicable character. The Japanese ghost story system was introduced from mainland China. The pioneer of this kind of supernatural works, "Nihon Reiki", is a combination of Buddhist scriptures, Chinese literati's supernatural novels, and Tang legends. In the Edo period, the trend of civilian writing flourished. Ueda Akinari compiled Japanese folk legends and Chinese supernatural stories and wrote the book "Rainy Night Story", which became a hit and made the creation of Japanese ghosts gradually flourish. It is still the main type of creation in popular literature.
