Siheyuan: From Scavenging to Master Collector

In his previous life, he was a master antiques appraiser and a business prodigy. In this life, he has become a streetwise junk collector in Nanluoguxiang.

In an era of scarce food and clothing, Chen Daqi asks for nothing but a peaceful life with his two younger sisters. He neither fights nor competes.

Fortunately, he has a pair of divine eyes that can see through the past and present.

“Auntie, how about I give you two yuan for this broken copper incense burner?” He turns around and sells it as a Ming Dynasty Xuande burner, worth hundreds or even thousands!

“Stationmaster, I’ll take this waste paper to use as wall lining.” Hidden among it are letters written by famous figures in the early Qing Dynasty!

He quietly makes a fortune and keeps a low profile. He buys his sisters new padded coats, treats them to braised pork, and enjoys a thriving little life. Along the way, he rescues Su Jinshu, a reserved young teacher fallen on hard times, by the roadside. She becomes his future ideal partner.

Let others squabble over the grudges and romance of their courtyard houses. I, Chen Daqi, just want to find the world's greatest treasures in this momentous age, hold my lovely wife close, watch my sisters grow up, and build a golden age of my own, one step at a time!
