Cheng Menli, the last descendant of a declining treasure-appraisal family, lost everything due to a deliberate arson - his grandfather was unjustly imprisoned, his ancestral "Guanxin Inkstone" was stolen, and he became a sweeping apprentice in the antique street. When he was about to die, he accidentally activated the fragment of the inkstone and awakened his clairvoyant eyes: he could see through the repair marks under the bronze inscriptions, see through the marks of time in the porcelain body, and even peek into the secret map hidden in the interlayer of ancient paintings.
From missing pieces of Yuan blue and white flowers worth tens of millions in the Panjiayuan ghost market, to gambling on imperial green jadeite in Myanmar, Cheng Menli swept through the antique world with a pair of miraculous eyes. But he soon discovered that behind his grandfather's unjust case was a conspiracy to forge the "Feng Family" of a wealthy family, and that national treasures such as the "Red Mountain Jade Pig Dragon" and "Dunhuang Posthumous Notes" that had been lost overseas were being coveted by transnational smuggling groups.
When the clairvoyant eye evolved the ability to "retrospect phantoms", Cheng Menli saw the truth behind the theft of cultural relics a hundred years ago, and also revealed the family's thousand-year mission to protect the "Remnant Map of the Nine Tripods". While competing with the Feng family's "chemical antiquity" and the smuggling group's AI identification system, he teamed up with archaeologist Su Qingyao to decipher the mechanism of the ancient tomb. In antique gambling, underground palace exploration and cross-border treasure hunting, he wrote a legend of "appreciating treasures with eyes and protecting pulses with heart".
