I Run a Pawnshop in the Underworld

"Pawn a soul, pledge a spirit, and roam freely between the worlds of yin and yang." This is the ancestral motto carved above the Chen Family Pawnshop's entrance.

When Chen Mo took over the century-old shop, he discovered that the dusty shelves held things far more terrifying than antiques: a bloodstained wedding dress that puts itself on at midnight, an old-fashioned radio that plays death announcements without end, and a female ghost living in a bronze mirror who loves to ask, "Am I beautiful?"...
