The Ancient Taoist Master Helps Me Sell Antiques

share time: 2026-02-17 00:37:00

When Lin Xiaoman's antique shop was on the verge of closing, a handsome man in a black Taoist robe named Gu Yuan broke in late at night—claiming to be a 1,000-year-old Taoist master who could help her appraise and sell antiques, but only if she helped break the seal on his soul trapped in a bronze mirror. Xiaoman agreed as a last resort, but gradually found that Gu Yuan was nothing like a “master”: he would squat at the counter gluing broken porcelain, use talismans to变出 money for her rent, and even use magic to reduce her fever when she was sick. Until the bronze mirror glowed red, Xiaoman saw their past life in the mirror: Gu Yuan was her fiancé, who had scattered his soul to save her from evil spirits, and now he had returned only to “settle karmic debts.” Facing the disappearing Gu Yuan, Xiaoman cried and grabbed his hand: “This time, I don’t want you to be a hero—I want you to be mine.” But Gu Yuan smiled and touched her face: “I haven’t had a next life for a long time.”
