Awakening the Spirit-Appraising Eye, I Sweep Through the Republic-Era Antiques Market

In the sixteenth year of the Republic, Shanghai was a city in chaos, its treasures gathering dust as wolves roamed unchecked. His family was ruined, his loved ones dead, and he was buried in debt. Their ancestral shop was about to be demolished, his mentor was wrongly accused and awaiting death, and his fiancée betrayed him to offer up a treasure. Everyone said the last remnant of the Lin family deserved to die without an heir. At the brink of death, Lin Chen activated the Divine Eye of a Thousand Ages with a drop of blood! One glance to discern truth from falsehood, one to behold the past and present, one to uncover hidden secrets! What others saw as a worthless broken jar was a priceless imperial kiln treasure lost for a thousand years. The peerless masterpiece certified by the experts was a counterfeit forged by foreigners to bring ruin to the nation. Every heirloom treasured by the great families was stained with blood and concealed a grave injustice! In a turbulent age, possessing a treasure is no crime! From then on, the down-and-out apprentice burst onto the scene, exposing fakes, taking down crooked merchants, standing up to the great families, and fiercely resisting foreign invaders! He would protect China’s treasures for generations to come and preserve its cultural heritage through the ages! When no more national treasures were sent overseas and every wolf prowling through the chaos had been brought to justice, Lin Chen became a grand master of antiques in the Republic of China.
