I Tried to Make a Fake Antique, But Became a Master Appraiser

share time: 2025-10-28 00:32:52

Lin Xiaoman, a part-time worker in the antique street, decides to forge a Song Dynasty shadow blue glaze plum vase to raise money for her grandma's surgery. But after three sleepless nights drawing the vase's patterns, she gains an ability to 'connect with the past': touching broken porcelain reveals ancient craftsmen throwing clay; smelling old wood brings back memories of a family storing osmanthus wine. When she takes the fake to the black market, Gu Shen, boss of top appraisal house 'Yumatang,' stops her—instead of exposing her, he says the vase's bottom mark matches his master's broken piece from 30 years ago. He hands her a business card: 'Learn appraisal from me, earn ten times more than faking.' Thus, the 'fake maker' is forced into treasure appraisal: she exposes chemical-soaked 'Yuan blue and white porcelain,' retrieves a neighbor's stolen heirloom jade, and deals with Gu Shen's occasional 'difficulties.' When she finally earns enough for surgery, she finds half a fragment in grandma's box—matching Gu Shen's family jade token. She then realizes her 'appraisal talent' was never a coincidence.
