    I highly recommend the first book, a reincarnation novel about antiques. The author provides detailed descriptions of the intricacies of porcelain, jade, and ancient paintings, avoiding any unrealistic or clichéd plot points. In his previous life, the male protagonist was trapped in a scheme and died with resentment. Reborn, he sees through the treacherous nature of the industry and seeks revenge, fighting counterfeits and protecting precious cultural relics. The romance between the male and female leads develops gradually and without abruptness.
