   ✨✨🌺This is a supernatural story; proceed with caution if you are easily frightened! The Lu family has run a pawnshop called "Evil Name" for generations. Previously managed by his grandfather, it's now in his hands. Their pawnshop is unique; unlike ordinary pawnshops, they never accept worldly valuables like gold and silver jewelry. Instead, they specialize in items with special, sinister value. For example, mahjong tiles made from human skulls, ancient executioner's knives, and coffin boards unearthed from old graves. These items, after passing through their hands, can be transformed from evil into treasure, becoming auspicious objects that bring good fortune. Mahjong tiles made from human skulls can guarantee gambling success, executioner's knives can protect against misfortune, and old coffin boards can bring promotions and wealth. They can cure illnesses, save lives, avert disaster, and even defy fate. These transformed evil objects attract countless high-ranking officials, wealthy merchants, and powerful figures. It's said that at its peak, even members of the royal family were eager to acquire them! These items, once handled by their pawnshop, can be transformed from something evil into something precious, becoming treasures that bring good fortune. Mahjong tiles made from human skulls can guarantee winning in gambling; an executioner's knife can protect people from misfortune; and old coffin boards can bring promotions and wealth. They can cure the sick, save lives, avert disaster, and even defy fate.

    These three are good. In the first one, the protagonist dissects his girlfriend in anatomy class; she has a ghostly coin in her mouth. To survive, he embarks on a ghost-hunting journey. In the second one, the protagonist lives in an ossuary, and his "roommate" is a ghost. As his yang energy weakens, he becomes possessed by other ghosts, leading him to a ghost-hunting path. Like the first one, this one features a single female lead with a mentor who helps her grow stronger step by step. In the third one, the protagonist's wife was an emperor's daughter in her past life, and after his death, she becomes a zombie. All three are good.
