(No System, no saintly do-gooder, and not a good person in the strictest sense. Whether they're alive or dead, if they need killing, kill them.)
During the summer after the college entrance exams, Qin Xiao thinks he can spend his days lazing around at home, until one late night he comes across a disturbing video. Even more terrifying, the crime scene is right across from his house.
That night, a black-furred "Hanged Man" crashes through the window and hunts Qin Xiao until he is cornered. At the brink of death, a mirror suddenly reflects a girl in red. She leaves him three copper coins and offers him a contract: become the shopkeeper and wield the power of karma.
After taking over the shop, Qin Xiao discovers that all the goods displayed there are "alive." A bloodstained antique hairpin demands lives, an old-fashioned peachwood sword asks for incense ash and cinnabar, and even a kitchen knife can open its mouth and curse... Behind every item lies an unfinished grudge. His job is to help each item find the "right person": repay a grudge with vengeance, and a kindness with gratitude.
But that's not all. The previous shopkeeper's "runaway merchandise" is wreaking havoc in the real world: an ancient zither that holds past lives and present ones, and a comb that can grant unparalleled beauty with a single stroke... Qin Xiao must settle his customers' karmic debts while hunting down these runaway "goods."
"My name is Qin Xiao, and I shall be the master of karma."
"Welcome to the Karma Shop. I can be your Bao Qingtian, or I can be your retribution."
The pacing may be a little slow at first. If you're not enjoying it, feel free to skip ahead to Chapter Ten.
The content is well written at this stage, not too irritating. The feeling that I personally want to see as a shopkeeper, independent from all parties, and detached from things has already come out. I don't think the Anomaly Bureau is a failure. The protagonist is a person who decentralizes and recovers extraordinary people in this world, so an official stable organization is necessary.
The writing is very good! The type of story is my favorite!
Pretty good, but not enough to watch at all
The law of cause and effect is currently waiting to take off
Without further ado, I will definitely give myself five stars 🤦🤦🤦
It's quite good-looking, will there be a female protagonist? 🥺 Very nice, I'll follow it
Come on, don't be too perfunctory when it comes to writing causal lines 🍉
Don't say anything else, just write quickly (≖_≖)
The writing is quite good, the plot is compact and not procrastinating.
I've finished reading it, it's very interesting, the writing is good, the story is wonderful, and it's beautiful to watch.
