A zine on the imaginary journey and magical adventure
One day, while taking a stroll through the beach park, you stumbled upon a mysterious high heel. However, this was no ordinary shoe. Without a second thought, you slipped it on, only to be instantly transported to a fantastical world.
Before you stretched a dreamlike landscape, an enormous field filled with endless rows of cabbage. Guarding these precious crops was a wondrous creature: a cabbage ladybug, who introduced herself as a magical vegetable fairy. She explained that these cabbages were no ordinary plants—they had the extraordinary ability to produce precious gems! In Chinese culture, cabbage symbolizes wealth and prosperity, and in this surreal world, that symbolism had become a reality.
However, the cabbages were under constant threat from pesky cabbage worms. The ladybug had a mission for you: to protect the vulnerable crops and keep them safe from harm. In return for your help, she promised to bestow upon you a gem of your own—and guide you back to the normal world.
