Lin Jiuchen has a pair of "evil" eyes: his right eye can see past life memories hidden in cultural relics, and his left eye can see through all disguises. He originally wanted to rely on his pair of strange eyes to keep a low profile in the antique industry and make a living, but because he spent ten minutes longer looking at the national treasure "Kowloon Bi" in the museum, he became the number one suspect in a sky-high price theft case.
Female police officer Su Qingying, an iceberg policewoman of the Cultural Relics Criminal Investigation Detachment, acts decisively and embarks on this trip to find out the truth about her father's disappearance. She "invited" Lin Jiuchen from the Panjiayuan street stall into the interrogation room, only to find that this lazy guy's eyesight was the only key to solving the mystery of high imitation and tracking down the lost skills.
A bizarre "fake for real" theft case forced a treasure appraiser and a policewoman to form an awkward partnership. From tracking the ghost market to the black auction site, from the bloody mystery of the thousand-year-old jade seal to the moonlight phantom of the Dunhuang murals, they face not only the "ghost craftsmen" with supernatural skills, but also the "Dark Mirror Society", a mysterious organization that spans ancient and modern times and has great plans.
When Lin Jiuchen's eyes flashed with the flames of his family's annihilation, and when Su Qingying discovered that her father's notes pointed to the same source of darkness, they realized that behind the case was the "Eight Wastelands Searching for the Dragon" situation that has lasted for thousands of years. The secrets of the three undiscovered treasures are slowly being revealed through life and death appraisals.
"This time, you see whether it's true or not, I'll capture people's hearts." Su Qingying loaded the gun.
"Okay," Lin Jiuchen rubbed his sore eyes and looked into the depths of the mist, "But we agreed that once the case is solved, you have to take care of your bowl of braised pork."
Appreciating treasures and deciding cases, the eyes hide secrets. This is an adventure of penetrating the fog of history with your eyes and guarding the spark of civilization with your life.
