Synopsis
Being slapped in the face by a treasure appraiser is so satisfying that it makes you fly. Thinking about the shadow conspiracy is terrifying. How do you break this game? Chen Qingyun's appraisal company has been in business for three months and has made a name for itself in the Longcheng antique circle. A mysterious appraisal commission tore open the veil of the international cultural relics criminal organization - the Shadow Society, which is larger and more dangerous than Longying. They wanted Chen Qingyun's abilities, but they fell out after being rejected. From the bloodstains on the bronzes to the invitation from the Guardian Alliance; from the stunning glimpse at Sotheby's autumn auction to the public slap in the face at the International Treasure Appraisal Competition - Chen Qingyun's international road is more dangerous than imagined. And the man named Shen Mobai always said words in a gentle tone that sent chills down the spine: "You will change your mind." At the same time, the mystery of Grandpa's life experience gradually surfaced. The origin of "Listen to Lies and Detect True Records", the source of the magical pupil's ability, the true purpose of the mysterious organization... All clues point to the same answer. The excitement and suspense coexist: the treasure identification and crushing are superficial, and the shadow tracking is the inside. Do you think this is just a slap in the face and a cool novel? Just when you think you've seen the whole picture, the truth has just begun to reveal itself. Concept: This work is based on "appraisal of treasures" and "appraisal of heart". Its core concept can be summarized as follows: **1. To learn from objects and people, to explore the authenticity, good and evil of human nature** The core setting of the work is the pupil of "listening to lies and identifying the truth", which is not only to distinguish the authenticity of antiques, but also to pierce the lies in people's hearts. The concept emphasizes the profound philosophy that "antiques do not lie, it is always people who lie." Through the ability of the protagonist Chen Qingyun, the cold cultural relics are compared with the complex human nature. In the process of treasure appraisal, greed, fraud and sin are peeled off layer by layer, and the hidden truth and the good and evil deep in the human heart are explored. **2. Protect civilization and shoulder the responsibility of the country behind the cultural relics** The story moves from a street antique shop to the international stage and fights against transnational cultural relics smuggling groups (such as the Shadow Society). Its deep intention is to arouse the awe and protection of cultural relics and history. Each antique carries unknown historical memories and national emotions. The protagonist's growth path is essentially the process of an ordinary person awakening and shouldering the mission and responsibility of protecting national treasures and defending cultural dignity. **3. Break through the situation and grow up, complete self-salvation amidst conspiracy and truth** This work is not only a refreshing article, but also a chapter about growth and redemption. The protagonist, from a down-and-out shopkeeper to a famous treasure appraiser, not only has to face sinister external conspiracies and the pursuit of a mysterious organization, but also uncovers the mystery of his father's death and his grandfather's life experience. The concept embodies the tenacity of breaking through desperate situations, finding the truth in lies, constantly surpassing oneself in crises, and ultimately realizing the dual redemption of personal value and family mission.
