Yanxiangzhai Pawn Book

Located at the end of Qingshiban Lane in the old town of Lingzhou City, "Yanxiangzhai" is an old pawn shop that has been passed down for seven generations. When it came into the hands of Lin Yan, the eighth generation heir, the shop was already deserted and he could hardly afford to pay the rent. In an accident, Lin Yan broke open the base of the heirloom Duan Inkstone and activated the "pawn deed" hidden in it. From then on, whenever objects with obsessions were put on the counter, he could see the memories and regrets they carried. The rules of pawn are also very special: he can help the owner go back in time and make up for regrets, at the cost of charging the owner an "insignificant and fragmentary memory" as interest. As pawn commissions come one after another, Lin Yan gradually discovers that this small pawn shop hides secrets spanning thousands of years; behind those seemingly ordinary old objects, there are countless unspoken lives hidden. The neighbors in the alley, the female restorer who suddenly appeared, and even the calico cat who slept on the counter every day seemed to have their own origins. There is a pair of eyes in the dark, staring at all objects with obsession, trying to use the power of obsession to break the order of time.
