The Immortal Pawnshop

The House of Ten Thousand Immortals is a hit xianxia novel blending cause-and-effect pawning, bittersweet romance, and rule-breaking. Hidden in the Rift Bazaar is the ultimate secret of the Three Realms. Anything can be pawned, but everything comes at a price: memories for clues, the Dao Heart for demonic arts, or fortune for a chance at life. Xie Qibai, a karmic clone of the Dao Lord of Repayment, inherits the House of Ten Thousand Immortals, left behind by his father. By chance, he becomes bound by a pact to share karma with Liu Shutong, who pawned her Dao Heart for revenge. From reluctantly tending the pawnshop to actively breaking its rules, the two face the Debt Collectors Alliance's pursuit and the Heavenly Law Bureau's siege together. They extend their pact with their lifespans, break illusions with love, and build barriers with their Dao Hearts as they stand against Gu Mingyi, who seeks to control karma. Told through a blend of episodic arcs and a central storyline, the novel offers both the heartwarming tale of a mortal pawning her sense of taste to save her mother and the fiery clash between immortals and demons. At its heart is a truth that strikes deep: when every choice comes at a price, only a love that goes both ways can break the fate of karma and breathe life into cold, rigid rules. In the end, the two rewrite the rules of the Three Realms through love, proving that "love is karma's strongest armor."
