[Male-Oriented Power Fantasy + Antiques and Suspense + Business Revenge]
He can tell real antiques from fakes and has the grit to command respect everywhere. With his skill, he will expose the entire jadeite black market, protect his family, avenge his loved ones, and rise to the top of the industry!
Everyone in the appraisal world knows there’s a ruthless player at the China-Myanmar Bridge: Chen Feng.
With a magnifying glass, he can judge a stone’s quality and translucence; with a UV lamp, he can spot a fake. Relying on his family’s traditional appraisal techniques, he has established himself in the chaotic jadeite trade, imposing a rule of “transparent prices, and fakes get smashed on the spot.” He exposes the scams of crooked Burmese traders and takes on the industry’s worst parasites, earning his place at the bridge through sheer skill.
No one knows that this calm, ruthless young man is driven by a blood feud. His father was once a jadeite magnate, but after stumbling upon the industry’s illegal secrets, he mysteriously disappeared, leaving behind only a bracelet marked with a cryptic symbol.
Counterfeit traps, blocked supply lines, traitors in their midst, family members turning against one another... Chen Jingshan, his sinister uncle; Lin Zhenghong, his father’s sworn brother, who betrays him; and foreign forces secretly pulling strings: layer upon layer of intrigue closes in around him.
With his appraisal skills as a blade and his connections as a shield, he dismantles scams involving high-grade fake jadeite while investigating his father’s disappearance. He unexpectedly discovers Chen Mo, his half-brother on his father’s side, rallies the rule-abiding factions, and forms an alliance to confront the masterminds behind the illegal trade!
From the buying stalls at the bridge to the mines in Myanmar, from counterfeit workshops to secret warehouses, he breaks through obstacles, takes revenge, and seizes power. Every appraisal is a fight for survival, and every counterattack strikes at the heart of the conspiracy.
When long-buried evidence finally surfaces and the illegal trade network is destroyed for good, Chen Feng learns that his father’s disappearance conceals a shocking secret about the entire jadeite industry!
