Deep Lane, No. 99: a mysterious shop that opens only on rainy nights.
Its owner, Si Jin, is an elegant and dangerous demon.

A full-time housewife who regrets getting married trades her “motherly love” for the status of a “top socialite,” only to die alone in a sprawling mansion worth billions…

“Welcome. I’m Si Jin. You can trade for anything here.”
“Even your life.”
