What Do You Trade For

Book title: What do you use in exchange? Subtitle: Zhiqi Pavilion·Redemption Genre: Fantasy·Oriental Fantasy Hou Xiaoyao has a special pair of eyes - he can see the "threads of exchange" wrapped around everyone: red time, blue memory, golden talent, and gray obsession. He is the third-generation executor of the Zhiqi Pavilion hidden on the street corner, specializing in equivalent exchanges. Everything in the world can be stored: memory, time, destiny, as long as you are willing to pay the price. Until a mysterious plain-faced man appeared and left two lyrics that only he understood. Until he discovered that dozens of "overdue persons" were asleep in the theater - they failed to redeem their most precious things. Until he opened the wordless old account left by his master, and a line of words appeared on it: "What you want to redeem is not others, but your own heart." A mutilated copper coin, half of which is engraved with "give" and the other half with "take". A melody called "Dark Contract", only he can pronounce the complete words. Hou Xiaoyao thought he was redeeming his life for others. He didn't know that he also had a contract that he didn't remember signing - and the price of that contract was all the memories of him and his parents. The rules say: only exchange, no favoritism. But he gradually discovered that the rules themselves were the biggest lie. When goodwill and fairness confront each other, when talent and cost compete, he must make a choice—— Should you continue to be a rule enforcer, or become a rule breaker? "A world where sins can be redeemed without exchange is what Zhiqi Pavilion should be like."
