Surviving the Famine: I Build a Fortune by Appraising Treasures and Marrying a Wife

【A cliff jump from the start awakens the Heavenly Eye, turning junk into treasure!】 Lin Chuan transmigrates into the body of a useless villager. His father has a broken leg, his mother is gravely ill, and the family owes thirty taels. The village bully shows up: “If you can’t pay in three days, I’ll sell your sister!” In despair, Lin Chuan jumps off a cliff, only to awaken the 【Priceless Treasure-Identifying Eye】! “This worthless stone? A fragment of a luminous pearl, worth a hundred taels!” “This rotten wood? Agarwood, worth eighty taels!” “This weed? A century-old ginseng root, worth three hundred taels!” Three days later Lin Chuan smacks a stack of banknotes against the bully’s face. “Thirty taels, right? Here’s three hundred. Now get lost!” That very night, the village beauty comes knocking. “Brother Lin Chuan, I want to marry you...” A rival refuses to back down? Lin Chuan exposes all ten fakes at the treasure appraisal contest and crushes him in front of everyone! He earns ten thousand taels a day collecting junk, then makes three hundred thousand overnight exploring an ancient tomb! He becomes king of the county, lord of the prefecture, and a force to be reckoned with in the capital! He presents a national treasure at an appraisal contest, and the emperor makes him a marquis! The princess herself asks for his hand: “My dear Lin, all I want is you...” From a village to the whole realm, from a good-for-nothing to a merchant sage, from debt-ridden to richer than a nation! Those who once looked down on me now kneel and beg for my help!
