On a stormy night, a terrifying encounter in an old mansion awakens yin-yang eyes in Lin Chen, an ordinary office worker, unlocking the twin abilities of X-ray vision and treasure appraisal. From then on, finding hidden treasures at antique stalls is as easy as reaching into his pocket. A Qing dynasty white jade pendant and a rare Ming dynasty medical text are his for the taking. At jade auctions, he spots the finest emeralds with a discerning eye, effortlessly gaining financial freedom.
Thanks to his extraordinary abilities, he is hired as chief appraiser by Su Qingyue, the beautiful owner of Qingyaxuan. He meets finance reporter Ye Zihan, gentle traditional Chinese medicine practitioner Bai Zhi, and businesswoman Qin Xue. His relationships with these women grow increasingly intimate, leading to several passionate romances. From local antique fairs to exclusive business banquets, he makes powerful connections from all walks of life and overcomes the machinations and malicious smears of his competitors, establishing himself in both the antique and business worlds.
By chance, he discovers cultivators’ pills and cultivation techniques hidden among ancient artifacts. Using his yin-yang eyes to sense spiritual energy, he embarks on a path of urban cultivation. Juggling appraisals, jade auctions, and cultivation, he overcomes every obstacle, building both his strength and his wealth. In the end, Lin Chen leaves behind the glittering world with his girlfriends and retreats to a secluded paradise, living a carefree life in harmony with nature.
