Shen Qi is the sole inheritor of a lacquerware tradition thought lost for a hundred years. He can spot fakes at a glance and restore national treasures with his deft hands.
From the start, he is framed by a treacherous rival, driven out of the trade, and disgraced. Even his ancestral shop is about to be taken from him.
Then he unexpectedly awakens the Lacquer Sage System. With a touch of his fingers, the secrets of thousand-year-old lacquer are laid bare, and lost techniques come naturally to him.
He can tell the real thing from a fragment of lacquer no one else can identify. He restores national treasures others can’t repair to their original condition. And he easily lands eye-wateringly lucrative commissions that no one else dares take, making a fortune in the process.
A top-tier heiress and antique shop owner has his back. Collectors and industry bigwigs compete to call him brother. Everyone who once bullied him ends up beneath his feet!
With a pair of deft hands, he restores every kind of lacquerware, rises against all odds, and ultimately becomes the ancestor of all lacquerwork!
