Zhou Zhengtao, a former state-owned jade carving craftsman, spent fifteen years as a full-time househusband for his daughter, yet suffered endless humiliation from his daughter, son-in-law and in-law Lin Guofu. After exposing Lin’s fake blue-and-white porcelain, he was abandoned with his lifelong tools tossed away, forcing him to cut ties and leave home. He rescues a gifted hound Dahuang that can appraise antiques, making great night-market finds to redeem himself. He meets appraisal master Gu Wenyuan and his daughter Gu Qingyan, foiling the Lin family’s framing scheme. His exquisite ancient restoration skills astonish the public. In the end, he co-founds a restoration workshop, inherits traditional craftsmanship, and reaps a successful career and happy love.
