Lanterns, mooncakes, and monsters—a mid-autumn festival recipe for falling in love.

All Shu Li wanted was to return to Shanghai as a renowned doctor and put the past of Xiajiang behind her. But then her world is turned upside down when she comes across a
jiaoren and his dying son, creatures of the lake that she’d only read about in folklore.

After they were attacked by an enemy pod, Hao Yang’s son got an infection from his injury, and he has no choice but to turn to the humans for help, even if that means exposing himself as a jiaoren. He never expected to fall for the human doctor, let alone choose her as his mate.

Shu Li must make a hard decision—to return to the big city and live out her dreams or stay in Xiajiang with those she had come to care about immensely.

One mid-autumn festival night and a few mooncakes later, everything changes.

Welcome to Spice-tember! "Monsters and Mooncakes" is the perfect steamy short to start off your spooky season.
