Counterfeit Bureau

Young restorer Lu Zhun was invited to inspect an ancient lacquer box valued at RMB 80 million, but found traces of his own repairs five years ago on the inside of the lid. However, data shows that this lacquer box appeared in overseas exhibition catalogs 24 years ago. Its origin is clear and its identification is complete. In order to find out the truth, Lu Zhun joined the Antiquities Investigation Bureau and started tracing from a patchwork, an insurance file, and an old photo. As the investigation deepened, he discovered that someone was not simply making fakes, but instead forging identities, grafting history, and manipulating prices for old items. What is truly valuable is not antiques, but the past that everyone can believe in. Between true and false, the whole world is in trouble.
