Zhu Cixi, the Ming Dynasty’s most beloved Princess Yong’an, died full of resentment during a palace coup. When she opened her eyes again, she had become Qi Nange, an ordinary girl in the twenty-first century, weighed down by debt. A strange era, a frail body, and a mountain of problems. Just as she was about to despair, a System called the “Ming Imperial Collection” found her.
Inside the System were all the treasures she had once owned or seen.
“Beep. A fragment of a Chenghua-period doucai chicken cup detected. Repair it to earn points.”
“Beep. A counterfeit of the Yuan blue-and-white plum vase depicting Xiao He pursuing Han Xin by moonlight discovered. Host, expose it.”
To survive and pay off her enormous debts, the princess who had once stood apart from worldly concerns had no choice but to step into the chaotic antiques market.
With her inborn royal taste and a System panel only she could see, Qi Nange carved her way through every obstacle. She found hidden treasures, appraised antiques, and restored national treasures. From an unknown nobody, she steadily grew into a legendary connoisseur known throughout the antiques world. The treasures that once belonged to her and to the Ming Dynasty: she would find them all again, one by one, with her own hands.
