Qin Fen was a down-on-his-luck young man who scraped by doing odd jobs. By chance, he inherited a mysterious ancient jade from his grandfather and awakened the Eye of Truth, which could reveal the essence of anything at a glance. It could identify genuine antiques and even glimpse fragments of history left behind on objects.
Three years ago, he was the most dazzling genius of the Qin family in the capital, but a carefully plotted scheme got him cast out. A single cool glance from his girlfriend, Su Wan, left him utterly disillusioned. Three years later, he began his spectacular comeback by using his golden eye for treasure appraisal to find hidden gems at Panjiayuan’s street stalls, shaking the entire antiques world along the way.
As priceless national treasures resurfaced at his hands and his former enemies knelt to beg for mercy, Qin Fen discovered that the ancient jade concealed a shocking secret capable of overturning the entire antiques world.
And the woman who had coldly turned away from him all those years ago now stood behind him, eyes red with tears. “Qin Fen, back then… I was forced to do it.”
