Master Youhu's Poetry Collection

A booklet Youhu always carries to jot down her favorite poems and snippets of inspiration for her limericks. They say to record all your ideas—you never know when they'll come in handy. That's exactly what Youhu does every day, capturing every clever thought, whether for antique appraisals or an occasion that calls for a witty poem. It's her way of keeping her mind sharp. But of course, this is her little secret, so let's keep it between us, hm?

An Ice Mask

An ice mask conjured by Youhu's Forte. The design differs from the original, but the sly grin on the mask mirrors Youhu's own when she's scheming up some mischief. Youhu often toys with this mask in her spare time, keeping it as a reminder of how she was nearly deceived when appraising the original antique early in her career. Beyond serving as a cautionary symbol, it's also the perfect prop for giving people a good scare or pulling a fast one on those who catch her interest.

The Ruyi Ring

A jade ring once cracked, now repaired by Youhu with her cryogenic Forte. Once lost in the chaos of a fire, this family heirloom has finally found its way back to Youhu after an arduous search spanning miles. She still dreams of the old days—the gentle breeze from her mother's fan, the sound of her father brewing tea. When she wakes, she often finds the Ruyi ring clutched in her hand. Ruyi, a symbol of peace and happiness, is believed to grant one's wishes. To Youhu, it's more than just an antique.

Street Antique Appraisal

On the busiest street in Jinzhou, a small appraisal stall occasionally appears, adding a touch more excitement to the bustling scene. The stall owner is a lively girl Youhu who confidently considers herself a seasoned appraiser. She claims that with just a light touch, she can discern the history behind any antique. Her early career saw just one slip-up—misjudging an ancient Ding. She later purchased it from the client, repaired it with her cryogenic powers, and now keeps it close as a reminder to stay sharp. Despite her playful self-promotion and carefree antics, people don't mind trusting her, especially since her appraisal fees are modest—just the cost of a meal and a sprinkle of compliments. "This folding screen predates Jinzhou, a rare treasure perfectly preserved! You can even call it a witness to Jinzhou's rise and fall!” "The glaze here? Smooth as jade, soft as silk. It's not ancient, but the craftsmanship is definitely worth the price!" Her insights, whether on artistry or historical value, hit the mark every time, earning her the trust of her clients. Adding to the charm of her appraisals is a unique flair—call it a show, if you will. While others might inspect antiques with magnifying glasses, Youhu examines each piece with lively gestures, reciting witty poems as if she's performing some ancient, mysterious ritual. Initially, people worried she might accidentally damage their valuables, but after seeing her skills, they've come to embrace her eccentric ways. Perhaps true masters just have their... well, quirks.
