Liu Qiang feels that his life is like those dusty slow-selling books in the corner of an old bookstore, with four words always printed on the label: ordinary.
Until that rainy night, when he was sorting out a pile of discarded books weighed by pounds, a few lines of silver writing appeared in his eyes without warning - the "real labels" of the items. An old book that was treated as scrap paper had a label valuation of six figures.
These "silver eyes" that could suddenly see the hidden information of all things allowed him to see the first ray of light that could reverse his destiny from the dust. He carefully uses this talent to seize the capital to change his life from old objects, antiques, and even the unpredictable urban undercurrents.
However, Liu Qiang soon discovered that this ability was much more than just "picking up missing artifacts".
It can reflect the dusty secrets of inheritance in ancient books, and it can also illuminate the shallow desires and fatigue of people's hearts. It allows him to sense the faint resonance of specific items, and also allows some ancient existences hidden under secular rules to quietly turn their attention to him.
From working young people in second-hand bookstores to information hunters wandering on the edge of the city; from cautiously improving livelihoods to being forced into games that ordinary people can't imagine. Liu Qiang holds this "label of all things" that can subvert cognition, and he makes his way step by step in the urban maze full of opportunities and traps.
What he wants to solve is no longer just his family's embarrassment and his own loan. What he has to face is: how to control this power without being swallowed by it? How to anchor one's own value as a "human" in the flood of information? And, when the end of the label points to the real "code" that runs the world, how should he choose?
