On the first day after inheriting the family business, Shen Yan took stock of the inventory of his ancestral pawnshop: there was nothing usable.
The ancient artifacts in the house are all fakes, and the only genuine one is still incomplete - an old jade seal with chipped corners, which is bigger than a lighter in the pocket.
Fortunately, the pawn shop has its own rules: things that are dead can be borrowed.
What the fakes lend is discounted influence: the broken string harp can only soothe the mind, the broken teapot can only absorb a wisp of evil energy, and the old bronze mirror can only reveal whether a person is lying... Weak is a bit weak, but Shen Yan can use these rags to defeat the most deadly situation.
He thought he was guarding a shabby shop, until he discovered that genuine products were extremely rare in this world, and all the major forces were trying to grab them. And the incomplete little seal in his pocket was holding a huge secret.
The Buyian Pavilion wants to smash it, the aristocratic family wants to rob it, and even his parents who disappeared ten years ago are chasing it.
Shen Yan put the seal in place and began to collect the bill.
