- 301 I Might Have Changed the Wrong Fate 我可能改了个假命 When I was little, my mom asked a Taoist priest to tell my fortune. He said I'd face a calamity at 26, and that he'd come help me get through it the day before my 26th birthday. When the day finally came, the priest really did show up to change my fate. He even gave me a “Fate-Changing Ruler” and told me I had to change the fates of seven people with different destinies to survive the calamity. Otherwise, I'd only have five years left to live. So much for changing my fate for me! Did he only cha 71Reads8.9Score—14d adds

Pawnshop No. 7 第7当铺
In the darkest corner of the city stands the Number Seven Pawnshop, which never closes. It doesn’t take physical objects as collateral, but rather the “sinful traits” buried deep in human nature. The owner offers unimaginable wealth, success, or wishes, but the price is your greed, arrogance, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, and sloth. The rules here are cold but fair: the more “sin” you pawn, the richer the reward. But without your “sins,” are you still truly whole?
