Chang Ming is the enigmatic young mistress of the Artifact Spirit Pawnshop, a unique establishment that satisfies wishes for spirits and the deceased. Living at the Yin-Yang Boundary with her animated paper servants Golden Boy and Jade Girl, she possesses a sharp mind and formidable magical skills, including creation of paper figures, divination, and soul manipulation. She is described with fair skin, a charming plump figure, and delicate features, often exuding a seductive aura. When the scholar Yun Yichu offers ten years of his life in exchange for her help to exorcise evil from his wealthy family, she accepts the unusual contract and descends to the human realm. During her stay at the Yun manor, she investigates the mysterious Six-Character Copper Coin, saves the soul of Yichu's grandfather, and confronts the ghost messenger Feng Xing. She carries a soul-summoning umbrella and a golden abacus, using both magic and cleverness to navigate the family's dark secrets. Despite her detached demeanor, she shows compassion by helping those in need and upholding her bargain, while always keeping her own interests in sight.
