The thing Wu Qianqin regrets most in her life is that on her twenty-fifth birthday, her creditors blocked the door and took away the jade pendant left by her grandfather.
The Wu family in the south of the Yangtze River was once a wealthy salt merchant. They donated money to the Revolutionary Party in the late Qing Dynasty and collected antiques in the Republic of China. In the 1960s, they relied on a tapestry dragon robe to save half of their lives. By her father's generation, all that was left was an old house and a house full of fakes - the old man was trapped, burdened with tens of millions of debts, and disappeared without a trace.
The debt collectors broke down the door, moved her house, and even took away the last piece of jade from her body.
When she was desperate, Fa Xiao Akun pointed out a way for her: go to Mo's Auction House to deliver goods and earn three hundred yuan for running errands. Who knew that this gift would send him into the deepest muddy water in the antique circle.
Mo Chen, the helmsman of the Mo Family Treasure Shop, is a well-known cold-blooded treasure appraisal machine in the industry. He could tell at a glance that she was a descendant of the Wu family, but he humiliated her in public without mercy: "Your father is blind and greedy, and that's why he ended up today."
Wu Qianqin couldn't swallow this sigh of relief, so he used half a broken book taught by his grandfather and a pair of eyes that could "see Qi" to reveal a contemporary antique painting on the spot.
Mo Chen narrowed his eyes and gave her a bet: within three days, she would pick out the genuine items from the pile of broken silk fabrics in his warehouse. If she picks the right one, it will help her pay off a debt; if she picks the wrong one, she will get out of the antique circle.
What she didn't know was that hidden in the pile of silk fabrics was an old case from thirty years ago. And the jade pendant that had been snatched away was dragging her and Mo Chen into a situation that had been laid out for a long time——
There are secrets about the loss of national treasures in the bureau, there are unpaid debts from her parents, and there is a truth that she could never have imagined.
