What are you willing to trade for what you want most?
In Yunmeng Ghost Market, a bowl of noodles can be paid for with a quarter of an hour of boredom, a memory can be exchanged for ten years of fame, and even "making the dead love you again" has a price tag.
But every transaction leaves a mirage on you.
When the time comes, paper clams will follow the contract and take away what should be paid from your flesh and blood - luck, lifespan, joy, or the future that you have already mortgaged without even realizing it.
Bai Zuo is a ghost market broker, codenamed "Qingfuzi".
He helps people match their desires, and also tracks down out-of-control transactions for the Market Manager; he has a pair of mirage eyes that can see the weight of concepts, and a black gold wooden stick left behind by his father Bai Zhiheng before he disappeared.
Twenty years ago, my father stepped into the rift of Guixu and has not been heard from since.
Twenty years later, someone on Fusheng Street took laughter away as interest, and someone deep in the ghost market began to sell "happiness without price." All clues point to the sealed old case.
And in the small Huaping building, there lived a girl who always lit the lamp at dusk.
Everyone called her Wan Niang.
However, Bai Dui gradually learned that her real name was Shen Wanzhao; she was not a soul-painting vessel, let alone a bargaining chip that anyone could trade. She repairs broken paintings and also repairs those people who have been forgotten by the world.
A broker who doesn't want to be in debt, a painting soul who is afraid that he is just a tool.
When desires can be priced, does fairness equal right?
Bai Tuo wants to find his father, but also in this ghost market where everything can be traded, he must protect Shen Wanzhao's name, and he must protect the right of the last choice for all living beings.
The setting is very interesting
