Shen Yan was once the young master of the Shen family in Jiangcheng, but due to the family's decline, he was humiliated by the Zhou family's public annulment at the engagement party. In a desperate situation, the cracked jade ring left by his mother unexpectedly awakened, giving him the "golden eye" to see through the authenticity of ancient artifacts and the secrets of the past.
From picking up Ru kiln remnants at a garage sale, to making a comeback in a stone gambling den, to exposing the Zhou family's counterfeiting scheme in public at an auction, Shen Yan has made a step-by-step counterattack from a destitute and abandoned young man to an upstart in the antiques circle.
But as old items surfaced one after another, he discovered that behind the decline of the Shen family, the disappearance of his mother, and the old seal case eighteen years ago, there was actually a shocking old situation that the Zhou family, the Lu family, and the Qin family jointly covered up.
Qin Zhaoyue, the treasure appraisal consultant of the Qin family, joined forces with him to investigate the case. The two went from testing each other to solving the problem side by side. Faced with the calculations of the wealthy family, the puzzle of antiques and the mastermind behind the scenes, Shen Yan holds the golden eyes in his hand and no longer accepts his fate.
Others laughed at him because he was a young man who had broken off the engagement, but he wanted to become a king by picking someone up and overturning the entire Jiangcheng antique circle.
