Please show it your support! What? The oracle bones of Yin Ruins haven’t been discovered yet? What? The Dunhuang manuscripts are being smuggled out of the country? What? The blue-and-white porcelain vase with elephant-head handles and cloud-and-dragon designs is up for auction? … Pillaging, tomb robbing, smuggling… Over the past 150 years, more than a million Chinese antiques and cultural relics have been lost overseas. They are housed in over 200 museums across more than 40 countries, not counting private collections. Jiang Hua, a Chinese restoration expert, transmigrated to a parallel world and discovered that none of it had happened yet. The treasures housed in museums abroad were still scattered across the world. Without hesitation, the “Golden Hands” that had once restored countless treasures picked up a writing brush, molded porcelain clay, and wielded a carving knife. Stone carvings and bronzes, paintings and porcelain… Countless near-perfect replicas went up for auction, allowing Jiang Hua to snap up treasures that, in his previous life, had been displayed behind glass in foreign museums. A century later, countless treasures would remain on Chinese soil, while the world’s great museums would be filled with countless fakes.
