On the day the construction site collapsed, Shen Yan was buried three meters deep in the soil. In order to survive, he swallowed a newly unearthed bronze fragment. The man lived, but the national treasure was broken.
From then on, he could hear the history of each ancient object: whose hands it passed through, which era it had been seen in, and why it had been lost to this day.
Picking up antiques on the street, gambling on stones in Myanmar, gambling on boxes at the port, gambling on overseas auctions... Others bet on luck, but he bet on history. For each treasure he gets, he must choose one of three: swallow it and his body will evolve; sell it to pay off his debt; keep it and build his own museum.
When bronze from the Shang and Zhou dynasties grows into his bones, ancient jade from the Han Dynasty merges into his skin, and Viking stars jump into his heart, all human civilizations scattered around the world will become part of his body.
He ruined one.
Therefore, he wants to win back ten thousand pieces.
