In the capital of the Great Zhou, there is a street devoted to the trade in ghosts and spirits: Qingyun Street.
At its far end stands the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, a shop that opens only at night. Its owner, Su Jiu'er, is a three-tailed fox demon who has cultivated for three hundred years.
She accepts anything: a general's fear, a courtesan's beauty, a child's affection, even the years of a living person's life.
If the price is right, she'll even pawn her own cultivation!
Everyone thinks she is a greedy, unscrupulous fox, but her little cat companion, A Li, knows the owner makes nothing but losing deals.
Su Jiu'er guards this pawnshop for one reason alone: she is waiting for someone.
Xiao Li, the poor scholar who saved her life three hundred years ago, vanished from the mortal world after leaving her a jade pendant.
Then, on a rainy night, a down-on-his-luck scholar walks into the pawnshop and pawns ten years of his memories.
From those memories, Su Jiu'er unexpectedly uncovers a shocking secret:
The man who vanished three hundred years ago may still be alive.
"Anything can be pawned, but the human heart is priceless."
