[Rebirth in the 1990s] [Antique Appraisal and Bargain Finds] [Business Rivalries and Political Schemes] [Devoted Husband] [Pure Wish Fulfillment]
In 1998, a wave of layoffs swept through state-owned enterprises. Shen Yi looked at Su Wanqing, the factory's beauty and his childhood sweetheart, her eyes red as she put the last of her meal tickets into his hands, and slapped himself across the face.
In his previous life, he was a compulsive gambler who sold the ancestral incense burner for next to nothing to a con artist, ruining his family and causing his childhood sweetheart's death. Reborn, he refuses to be that scumbag again! With danger closing in, his childhood friend shows up with an antique dealer, offering fifty yuan for the "broken incense burner" propping up his table. Shen Yi flips the table over, revealing the maker's mark, "Made during the Xuande reign of the Great Ming!" Relying on his "uncanny touch," reborn in this life, he exposes the scam on the spot, then sells the burner for a fortune at the ghost market, securing his first big windfall.
From a recycling center to a whole street of antique shops, Shen Yi goes on a bargain-hunting spree with eyes that can see an antique's entire past and future. What looks like a broken old crock to everyone else, he recognizes at a glance as a Ru ware piece from the Song Dynasty. When experts declare a painting fake, he opens a hidden compartment and pulls out an original by Tang Bohu. Facing pressure from an international artifact-smuggling syndicate, Shen Yi gives a cold laugh and sets an unprecedented trap involving a "masterpiece forgery," ready to take down every greedy financier in one fell swoop!
