In his past life, Stefan was betrayed by his close friend Damon and his girlfriend Caroline, leading to his imprisonment and tragic death. Upon his rebirth, he awakens with a "divine eye" capable of seeing through objects. He hands over an ancient tomb crown to the state, thwarting Damon’s scheme to seize the treasure. During an antique appraisal competition, Stefan uses his supernatural vision to repeatedly expose forgeries, earning the favor of Elena, a prominent figure in the black market. Refusing to accept defeat, Damon and Caroline orchestrate a high-stakes, "life-or-death" wager at a black-market auction and attempt to frame Stefan by planting stolen national artifacts on him; their plot is ultimately uncovered, leading to their arrest by the police. Moving between real estate offices, e-waste recycling yards, gem auctions, and the private villas of collectors, Stefan consistently uncovers hidden treasures—rare manuscripts, precious gems, and antiques—rapidly amassing a vast fortune. Leveraging memories from his past life, he warns business associates of impending crises, helps his sister Vera settle her usurious debts, and cultivates connections with major industry tycoons, gradually building his own expansive business empire.
