Reborn with a Super Sniffer: A National Treasure-Hunting Guide

In the 21st century, Lai Chunren, a Fujian real estate tycoon with a fortune and a sharp business mind, transmigrates into the body of Meng Erdan, a young man from the bottom of Beijing society in 1998. He unexpectedly awakens a “super dog nose” that can precisely detect buried treasures. The higher its level, the more sensitive it becomes. Starting with a silver ingot beneath an old locust tree in Nanluoguxiang, he recruits Wang Pangzi, a seasoned Panjiayuan dealer, as his partner. One sniffs out and locates treasures, while the other appraises them and keeps them from getting cheated. From a hidden cellar at Prince Gong’s Mansion in Beijing to jewels in the Tianjin concessions, from jade artifacts at Chengde Mountain Resort to Qin and Han bronze ware in Xi’an, the pair travel across the country. Each province unlocks a new ability, helping them solve “supernatural” mysteries involving optical illusions, air-current resonance, and more. They meet beautiful women with distinctive regional personalities and, amid treasure hunting, wealth, and a rise through the social ranks, rebuild their business empire and uncover the secrets to riches hidden in old houses and historic sites.
