Everyday life in the streets and alleys + a rise from humble beginnings + a golden finger for appraising antiques
Shen Lingwei wakes up in ancient times and opens her eyes to find herself about to be sold as a concubine to pay off a debt.
To survive, she squeezes into a pawnshop as a low-level assistant, relying on her golden finger to see the echoes of antiques and tell genuine pieces from fakes.
The Shen family is relentlessly hunting her down to drag her back?
Shen Lingwei: Got it. First, I'll get on the good side of Jiang Shenzhi, the local big shot. This is all about finding a business partner and a powerful patron!
She appraises stolen goods, investigates clues, solves mysteries among the common people, and rises from a menial assistant to an appraiser, then assistant manager, and finally owner of the entire pawnshop.
Making money and protecting herself come first. Romance can wait!
Who would have thought the cold-faced Lord Jiang, a man of high rank and power, would grow more and more clingy...
