[No CP] [Paranormal Object Appraisal] [Recruited by the National Team] [Episodic Power Fantasy]
Yan Nanxing, the founder of the greatest artifact-refining sect in ancient times, awakens in the modern day as the last heir to Xunling Studio, a shabby antique shop.
Faced with a room full of dusty junk, she picks up her spirit-repairing knife, ready to deal with any kind of paranormal trouble.
"Master, this antique bronze mirror I just bought makes me look especially beautiful, but lately my hair keeps falling out."
Yan Nanxing: "It's your life force you're losing. That's a Painted-Skin Bone Mirror. It's about to peel off your face and take your place."
"Master, the music box my husband gave me keeps playing by itself in the middle of the night. Has someone put a curse on him?"
Yan Nanxing: "It has the finger bone of his ex-girlfriend hidden inside. She's warning you that your husband is going to kill you tonight."
"Master, why has the beauty in my family's ancestral painting gotten fat?"
Yan Nanxing: "Burn it at once. The painting seals a starving ghost, and it's gotten fat because it ate your housekeeper last night."
Later, Xunling Studio became so famous for its accurate appraisals that people wore down its doorstep.
Then one day, several military jeeps blocked off the street. The head of a heavily armed national special operations team handed her an identification card. "Ms. Yan, your threat assessment has reached S-rank. The National Anomaly Containment Bureau formally invites you to join us!"
