Lin Mo, a 28-year-old programmer, lives an ordinary life of working overtime and staying up late, and being disliked by his ex-girlfriend Su Ya. Once he accidentally discovered a fake antique pocket watch, and accidentally awakened his "treasure appraisal power" - he can see through the authenticity of objects, perceive historical memories, and even identify modern substances and fake patina in the glaze.
This ability completely changed his life. He has transformed from an ordinary social worker into a new star in the world of treasure appraisal, but he has also attracted covetousness from all parties: Zhao Tian, the leader of the underground antique black market, wants to force him to fake smuggled cultural relics; Su Ya returns with a complicated purpose, swinging between old love and interests; Shen Bing, the president of Shen Group, opens the door to professional treasure appraisal for him. In the crisis of confronting Zhao Tian and protecting cultural relics, the two gradually develop a life-and-death relationship.
As his abilities deepened, Lin Mo discovered that there were greater secrets hidden behind it: the mysterious jade pendant, the master-disciple inheritance of master treasure appraiser Chen Lao, the feud between the Shen family and the Zhao family, and even the thousand-year "Tianmuzhan" curse and the secrets of the official kilns of the Song Dynasty. He was forced to be involved in a conspiracy that spanned decades, from picking up leaks in antique markets, to thrilling confrontations at auctions, to life-and-death games in ancient tombs. He used his powers to see through counterfeit goods, expose smuggling, and gradually grew from a timid clerk to a strong man protecting national treasures.
In the end, Lin Mo understood: Appreciating treasures is not only about identifying the authenticity of artifacts, but also about discerning the good and evil in people's hearts. He will join hands with Shen Bing to face the crisis, return the national treasure to his homeland, and write a counterattack from ordinary to legendary.
