Mind Reading + Appraisal + Play the Pig to Eat the Tiger + Marriage First, Love Later + Hilarious Power Fantasy
Ning Zhuo transmigrates into the Gu family as a useless live-in son-in-law. He plans to coast through life on the strength of his past-life expertise as a master appraiser, waiting for his rich wife, Gu Qinghan, to divorce him so he can take the settlement money and live it up. Who could have guessed his icy wife can hear his thoughts!
At a family gathering, a priceless heirloom worth hundreds of billions is declared a fake, and everyone pressures Gu Qinghan to step down.
On the surface, Ning Zhuo meekly says, “Second Uncle is right. Honey, just admit defeat.”
But inside, he’s screaming: [You bunch of idiots! Chip off the outer patina! There’s a piece of the Imperial Seal of China inside! It’s priceless, you know?]
Gu Qinghan’s eyes sharpen, and she smashes the treasure on the spot!
From then on, everything changes.
Ning Zhuo: [This painting is a fake, but there’s a treasure map hidden in the lining.]
Gu Qinghan buys it without hesitation, and her net worth skyrockets by tens of billions.
Ning Zhuo: [That’s just a worthless rock. Anyone who buys it is a complete sucker.]
Gu Qinghan sells it straight to her sworn enemy and pockets three hundred million, though it brings her to tears.
Just as Ning Zhuo wonders how his wife keeps getting so lucky, he notices the way Gu Qinghan looks at him is getting more and more unusual.
“Ning Zhuo, don’t sleep in the guest room tonight.”
