I wrote this book to warn the world: “Feng shui can nurture people, but it can also kill.” But the law itself is neither good nor evil.

The Cursed Pawnshop: I Only Deal in Deadly Fates 邪物典当行：我只算大凶命
I run a pawnshop passed down through my family. Ever since my grandfather founded it, there has been one rule: we only take cursed objects.

Once treated, cursed objects can change an ordinary person’s lowly fate, bring promotions and riches, or dispel bad luck. Over the years, I’ve taken in many such objects: the golden collarbone of a dead prostitute, a bloody face hidden inside an a

After the feudal order was overthrown, the Red Gate spread among the people, making a business of taking money to solve people’s problems. Though they did the work of yin-yang masters, they did not belong to that trade. Members
