[Antique appraisal + intangible cultural heritage + rural revitalization + System + revenge + positive energy]
Lin Mo, a top appraiser, is framed by his apprentice and boss. Saddled with 2 million yuan in debt and blacklisted across the industry, he has nowhere to turn but his remote mountain hometown.
As soon as he arrives in the village, he receives a demolition notice: will his old home be razed to make way for a trendy guesthouse?
At his lowest point, he activates the Chinese Cultural Heritage System!
He restores a cracked ink mold used to make Hui ink and unlocks the lost art of Hui ink production. A single ink stick sells for a fortune!
He repairs a damaged wooden carving and unlocks the legacy of a Huizhou woodcarving master. A carving he makes on a whim is snapped up by a museum for a huge sum!
He restores an old Xuan paper curtain and unlocks the thousand-year-old traditional method of making Xuan paper. The paper becomes so sought-after that famous calligraphers and painters are practically breaking down his door!
The people who once trampled him into the dirt now fight for a piece of his work.
The developers who once wanted to demolish his home now beg to invest in his intangible cultural heritage village.
Looking at the first village in China devoted to intangible cultural heritage, which he built with his own hands, Lin Mo smiles and says, “We can’t let the things passed down by our ancestors die out in our hands.”
At last, he also uncovers the truth behind his grandfather’s retirement and exposes the mastermind who framed two generations of their family.
