Antique Shop Zero: Disfigured School Beauty Becomes a Succubus to Pay Off Debts

My name is Jiang Chaosheng, and I run a cursed antique shop. But my inventory isn't limited to relics from ancient dynasties—it also holds supernatural artifacts gathered from all corners of the globe. Item 0-03: the scythe once wielded by Death itself. Item 1-08: Dracula's inverted cross. Item 4-18: the Succubus Seal. Item 5-23: a vintage car haunted by vengeful spirits. Together, they are known as Forbidden Items. A disfigured school beauty trades her freedom for the Succubus Seal and is reborn as a breathtaking succubus. An unknown singer gives up half her lifespan in exchange for mermaid pearls and skyrockets to fame as a music diva. But my work goes far beyond simply renting and selling these dangerous artifacts. When a buyer dies, I must track down and reclaim the item in their possession. Unfortunately, there are always greedy fools who try to stop me with brute force. Annoying. On top of that, I have to make time to contain other Forbidden Items surfacing around the world—and those things are utterly terrifying before they're secured. Annoying. That's why I founded the Taboo Society, made up entirely of former buyers. Their mission is simple: retrieve lost Forbidden Items on my behalf and assist in containing new ones. Now, a guest has just walked in, so I'll cut the chatter. If you're this curious about me, stop lurking at the door and step into this book—see if any of these Forbidden Items catch your fancy. And since you're a reader, I'll give you a discount.
