You Asked Me to Appraise Luxury Goods, but I Purify the Dragon Veins of National Fortune

From the trendy young actress with an antique hairpin that sucks away people’s yang energy, to the movie star’s limited-edition sports car that keeps drawing ghosts; from a production crew burying a “curse object,” ritually refined with living creatures, on set to ensure their show becomes a hit, to a top-tier star securing the center position in a talent competition with a wooden idol of an evil god that steals rivals’ luck. Behind every dazzling collectible in show business may lurk the most sinister of curses.

My name is Xu Mo. I’m a ritual object specialist who handles these “unclean” items for people in the entertainment industry. My rule is simple: I care about money, not people.

But when I discovered that all these sinister objects pointed to the same mysterious organization, I knew the waters ran far deeper than I’d imagined.
