[Urban romance + smart protagonist + antique appraisal + golden finger + play the pig to eat the tiger]
Lin Xian, down on both his luck and his love life, spends 20 yuan on a fake jade pendant from a street stall.
The night he loses both his job and his girlfriend, the pendant suddenly heats up and jolts him awake. A venomous voice roars in his mind:
"What are you touching for? Your ex was blind to pick a jerk, and you're blind enough to pick a fake? You're a double-loser! Get up and make some money!"
From then on, armed with a "heckler" golden finger, he embarks on a life full of wild antics:
He finds an old copper coin at a scrapyard, and the pendant grumbles, "Back in the Republic of China, I could buy three sesame flatbreads! Get it for ten yuan and make five in profit!"
At an auction for the rich, he calls out a fake, and the pendant shrieks, "A high-end Yiwu knockoff from last week! Excessive formaldehyde! Go tear into him!"
When an icy female lawyer's luxury car gets scratched, the pendant wails, "We're finished! That paint job costs more than ten years' worth of instant noodles! We're ruined!"
With one hand, he finds a Ming Dynasty jade buckle and shocks the antiques world. With the other, he helps a mature female lawyer crack strange cases using the pendant's "inner voice," while livestreaming with his nemesis, host Tang Xiaoxiao, as they sabotage each other. "Folks, today's goal: bankrupt Lin Xian down to his underwear!"
Then one day, the pendant suddenly falls silent.
Lin Xian panics. "Ancestor? Did you pass out from hunger?"
A feeble complaint comes from his mind:
"Shut up... This old man has run out of energy... Find a national treasure fast... or we're both done for..."
