Gu Changan, the last heir to the Gu family, a lineage renowned for antique appraisal, becomes a lowly pawnshop clerk after his family falls into decline. One day, he unexpectedly awakens the ancestral “Wondrous Eye.” With a glance, he can tell real from fake; with a touch, he can learn an object’s history. From finding overlooked treasures at street stalls to making waves at auctions, he rises from obscurity to become a rising star in the antique world.
But the Wondrous Eye brings more than wealth. It also puts his life in danger. A mysterious antique reveals the truth behind the massacre of the Gu family, drawing in an international cultural relic smuggling syndicate, mysterious family powers, and a special government agency. In a struggle for life and death, Gu Changan and Shen Qingyao, the eldest daughter of the Shen family, go from enemies to allies, from suspicion to trust, and join forces to protect the lost national treasures. When all the clues come together, he discovers that they point to a shocking secret, and his Wondrous Eye is the key to unlocking it.
