Synopsis

Scholar Pu Songling is captured by spirits in a well and forced to judge their stories before telling his own.

Young scholar Pu Songling encountered danger on his journey and had no choice but to spend the night at Lanre Temple. There, he was captured by a toad and a turtle and taken to the bottom of a strange ancient well. The two spirits competed to tell stories and forced Pu Songling to judge the quality of the stories. In the end, Pu Songling, left with no other option, also told his own wonderful story. (Source: Douban, translated)
