Appraising Treasures, Not Becoming the World's Richest Man

Fresh history graduate Ye Guihong takes a job at the Bogu Zhai antique shop, only to be sent on a rural acquisition trip that turns chaotic when local treasure hunters refuse to back down. Fortunately, he awakens a Divine Appraisal System that reveals the true authenticity and value of every object, launching him on an unexpected path to becoming the world’s wealthiest man through legendary finds. A jade cicada appraised at six million is exposed as a six-thousand-yuan fake, while a battered coin proves to be a rare signed Yuan Shikai dollar worth hundreds of thousands. A seemingly ordinary famille rose vase is identified as a custom Tongzhi-era wedding piece valued in the millions, and hidden double-layered paintings emerge from obscurity. As Ye Guihong uncovers these treasures, counterfeit rings, tomb raiders, and black-market dealers are drawn into the light. When reporters ask how someone so young has never misjudged an artifact, he humbly credits his success not to innate talent, but to relentless effort and perseverance.
