Once upon a time, in a distant land of lilies, 8 authors spun 8 old tales into new forms.
In the spires of the spinning wheel, a dragon-slaying saint charges headfirst into battle, seeking a prize no king can grant;
A forest nymph makes a human lord an offer too tempting to refuse, supported from the shadows by an unexpected ally;
Elsewhere, the lady “imprisoned” in the tower walks out the front door again, and a clam repays the woman who saved her life in perhaps the worst way possible.
With more than yuri to twist these once-familiar stories, is a happy ending still within reach?
