Liaozhai Zhiyi: Fantastic Tales from a Talking Library (Balsamina‪)‬

A young Chinese orphan from Ancient China and his foxy wife must use an unlikely tool to learn how to live and love. A love story, short story, family saga, paranormal romance, science fiction tale, satire, fantasy, and comedy all rolled into one, Balsamina introduces the rest of the Fantastic Tales from a Talking Library Series, which is my translation of Chinese short stories from Liaozhai Zhiyi by Pu Songling (1640-1715).
