After her grandfather's death, Bai Hanyun was disowned by her parents and cast out of the Bai family. With nowhere else to go, she left the city and returned to the countryside. There, by a twist of fate, she discovered an antique mirror hidden in the basement of her newly purchased home. From that moment on, strange events began to unfold—until one day, she stumbled upon a prayer from a young general.

Feng Xiyan, besieged by the Yuezhi Tribe and betrayed by the imperial court, had been driven into a desperate corner. With no access to water, food, or medicine, he and the citizens of Xiqiang City could do nothing but await death. But just as all hope seemed lost, Heaven intervened. From that moment on, the Feng Army and the people of Xiqiang City had enough food and water, living lives more prosperous than even the Emperor himself.

Noticing the change in Gui Xiaoxu's expression, Ke Ting asked, "Boss, what's wrong?"


Gui Xiaoxu snapped back to his senses and frowned slightly. "Nothing."


But as his gaze lingered on Bai Hanyun's jade pendant, his thoughts grew heavy. 'Is that Dongzhu? How could she have it—and even turn it into a jade hairpin?'


While Gui Xiaoxu's mind was clouded with countless questions, a staff member from the Gu Bao Auction House signaled the professional auctioneer with a hand gesture.


Receiving the cue, the auctioneer confidently stepped onto the stage. At the same time, other staff members guided the guests to their seats.


Standing behind the podium, the auctioneer smiled warmly at the crowd below.


"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to another auction hosted by the Gu Bao Auction House and sponsored by the Yu Group!"


Her words were met with polite applause.
