Forty-eight years of his life, Xu Tian struggled at the bottom of Jiangcheng Antique City all his life. As an antique appraiser, he adhered to the bottom line, but he was brutally killed for exposing the fraud of the sinister boss Zhang Tuzi. When he opened his eyes again, he actually traveled back to 1990 and returned to his eighteen-year-old body. He was in the courtyard of a state-owned machinery factory in Qingxi County, a small town in the south of the Yangtze River. At that time, his father was still working in the state-owned factory and his mother was diligent and thrifty. Although the family was poor, it was full of fireworks.
In an accident, Xu Tian came into contact with a Yuanyou Tongbao at a market stall. Due to his obsession with antiques in his previous life, he awakened his eyes that can see through the authenticity, age and price of antiques. Coinciding with the brutal growth of the antique industry in the 1990s, countless precious antiques were sold as scrap copper and iron in Qingxi County's markets, scrap stations, and old rural houses. This became an excellent opportunity for Xu Tian to counterattack.
He hid the secrets of his time-traveling identity and his Sky Eye. He looked like an ignorant young man and kept a low profile in Qingxi County. With his Sky Eye and his appraisal experience in his previous life, he purchased ancient coins, porcelain and other genuine items at low prices, and resold them at high prices. He gradually accumulated capital, improved his family's plight, and persuaded his father who opposed his reselling of old items. During this period, he encountered difficulties from local merchant Wang Laosan, and cleverly resolved the crisis, and got acquaintance with old man Li from the scrap station and old man from the street stall to help him.
Later, Xu Tian left Qingxi County and went to Jiangcheng Antique Market to open up the market, exposed the imitation scam, met the noble Mr. Zhao, established a reputation for honest appraisal, and opened his own stalls and stores. He upgraded his clairvoyance ability, delved deeply into the antique industry, combated counterfeiting, expanded supply across the country, trained apprentices, and eventually became a well-known appraiser in the industry
