Reborn in 2014, Chen Feng crouched outside his family's junkyard, gazing at the mountain of scrap piled before him.
In his previous life, his brother swindled him out of his entire fortune, his wife divorced him, his daughter grew distant, and he eventually died of illness in the ICU.
This time, he discovered he could see the “truth” behind discarded goods: a silver ring hidden inside a rusty copper kettle, gold wires on an old radio's circuit board, and scrap motors that could be dismantled and sold for five times their value.
But before he could make his fortune, trouble came knocking. Liu the Boss demanded protection money, Mr. Li sent men to smash his car, and Sanmao showed up at his door with a knife, saying, “Your wife and kid are pretty cute.”
Chen Feng smiled. They thought he was just a scrap collector, but they had no idea:
This pile of junk held something that could cost them their lives.
One glance to spot what's real and what's fake, and he could turn his life around.
This time, he would recover, one by one, everything he had lost in his previous life.
The hook in a nutshell:
A junkyard owner is reborn and can see the truth at a glance. From collecting scrap to taking down the mastermind behind it all, he also sets out to find his father, who disappeared twenty years ago.
The writing is smooth and full of life.
Dare to hate, dare to love, have brains, but lack backing, this is a flaw.
