Summary
Highlights
Luo Yan, after being poisoned in his previous life, is reborn into his college days. He gains 'fiery eyes' that allow him to see through objects and discern the truth, which he initially tests on small items.
Luo Yan uses his new abilities at an antique street, first identifying a fake jewelry box with a hidden valuable hairpin. He uses this success to earn money and then leverages his 'fiery eyes' to accurately predict stock market trends, quickly accumulating wealth.
Luo Yan meets Xia Xue, who helps him deal with a confrontation. He impresses her by revealing her aunt's hidden illness. Later, he invests in a seemingly worthless antique bottle that turns out to be a valuable Ming Dynasty porcelain, showing his growing expertise and winning a bet against Xia Xue.
Luo Yan supports his sister-in-law, Chen Ruoxue, who faces financial hardship and harassment. He uses his newfound wealth to pay her rent, buy her a bracelet, and eventually a luxurious villa, demonstrating his commitment to her well-being. He also begins plans to establish his own jade company.
Luo Yan participates in a stone gambling event where he identifies highly valuable imperial green jade from discarded stones, winning a significant bet against his rival, Young Master Ye. His success humiliates Ye and solidifies his reputation in the antique world.
Luo Yan is called upon by Xia Xue to cure her father, Old Master Xia, who is in a coma. He discovers Old Master Xia is suffering from a Gu worm infestation, which he successfully removes despite initial skepticism and interference. This act earns him the profound gratitude and backing of the powerful Xia family.
With the Xia family's support, Luo Yan rapidly expands his jade company. He acquires a warehouse full of raw jade and continues to use his abilities to identify valuable stones, further challenging Young Master Ye's dominance in the market and winning a direct competition against him for a prestigious jewelry store.
At Old Master Xia's birthday banquet, Luo Yan presents a seemingly mundane painting that is revealed to contain a hidden, priceless calligraphy by Li Bai. This discovery not only secures Xia Zhenbing's position as the next head of the Xia family but also exposes the Ye family's conspiracy and leads to their downfall, allowing Luo Yan to take over their share of the market.
