A newly reimagined dark short drama about human nature, spanning 20 episodes with a brisk pace, frequent twists, and a lingering impact. Breaking away from the traditional Strange Tales formula of ghosts and monsters harming people, the series explores a different idea: demons harbor no evil intentions, while humans are haunted by inner demons. There have never been truly murderous evil spirits in this world; what really devours people's futures and destroys the rest of their lives is the greed, selfishness, hypocrisy, envy, and obsession hidden in human hearts. There is no graphic violence or terrifying horror, only unsettling truths about human nature that become more frightening the longer you think about them. Every illusion, strange phenomenon, fateful encounter, and calamity is created by human desires themselves. Once a selfish thought arises, countless tribulations follow; only by staying true to one's heart can one overcome the myriad nightmares of the mortal world.
