Lin Ye, 26, is an ordinary food delivery rider.
Every day, he rides a beat-up electric scooter through the city streets, braving wind and rain. He works himself to the bone for just 5,000 yuan a month. His girlfriend thinks he has no future and leaves him for an antique shop owner who drives a BMW. His buddies laugh that delivering food is all he will ever amount to.
Even he is starting to believe them.
Then, on a day of torrential rain, a luxury car splashes mud all over him while he is making a delivery. He falls and hits his head on an old stone that has rolled out from behind the wall of an antiques market. After a stab of searing pain, his eyes change: golden patterns shimmer deep in his pupils, and the world no longer looks the same.
He can see the fine pattern of cracks inside antique porcelain vases, sense the quality and location of jadeite inside uncut stones, and even faintly glimpse a person's fortune: whether it is rising or falling, blessed or cursed.
The Golden Divine Eyes: one glance reveals the true nature of all things.
With these eyes, he finds overlooked treasures among the junk at antique stalls and sells a broken bowl for six figures. At the stone gambling market, one cut reveals a fortune in jade, turning a poor delivery rider into a millionaire. At an auction, he exposes a fake and humiliates the arrogant head of the antiques association.
His ex regrets leaving him? Sorry, the guy with the BMW beside you wouldn't dare say a word in front of me.
The jewelry heiress is chasing after him? No thanks. These days, my eyes see more than antiques.
From food delivery rider to king of the antiques trade, from being trampled underfoot to standing atop the city.
Lin Ye says, “These eyes of mine can see through both the authenticity of antiques and the good and evil in people's hearts. Whoever treats me well, I repay twice over. Whoever steps on me, I step right back.”
