[A broken teapot at the pawnshop turns out to conceal a Qianlong imperial seal!]
When a fake blue-and-white porcelain piece was thrust before him, no one knew that beneath this apprentice’s head-to-toe bargain-store outfit, golden patterns were blazing across his retinas.
Lin Yuan’s hand, gripping the teapot shard, was dripping with blood, yet he wore a chilling smile.
He could see the chemical dyes flowing through blue-and-white porcelain, peer into the cracks in a jade Guanyin statue where resin had been injected, and even dig an imperial Tianhuang seal worth eight million out of a twenty-yuan Yixing teapot with free shipping!
From that day on, he rewrote the rules of the antiques trade:
◆ Fragments of broken porcelain from a street stall reveal a lost section of the Yongle Encyclopedia
◆ X-ray vision into a Myanmar mine uncovers a flawless imperial-green jadeite unseen for a thousand years
◆ Wall Street tycoons beg him to authenticate the Rothschild family’s secret treasure
But the Golden Eyes revealed far more than wealth.
His father’s final blood-written message before his mysterious disappearance, bronze inscriptions writhing inside display cases at the Palace Museum, the sound of Western Zhou bells ringing in his ears every night... When his ability advanced to the point where he could see through time and space, he finally realized that the financial magnates fawning over him were the very people who had caused the car crash that destroyed his family three years ago!
[Find the wildest treasures, deliver the hardest face-slapping!]
From pawnshop apprentice to the shadowy king who controls an antiques empire worth trillions, Lin Yuan’s eyes reflect the truth of the entire world.
