You Were Sent to Appraise Antiques, But You Uncovered a Qilin Conspiracy Plot:

Lin Xiaoman, a rookie antique appraisal assistant, gets her first solo task: evaluating a bronze cauldron from a rural collector. While wiping off the patina, she accidentally activates a hidden Qilin (mythical unicorn) pattern on the base—and that night, mysterious men break in. They claim the cauldron is the “Qilin Guide,” guarded by their clan for a thousand years, and mention her grandfather, who vanished a decade ago while trying to steal it. To find her grandfather, Xiaoman follows the clan into the mountains, clashing with Qin Yue, the clan’s cold young leader: Qin says the Qilin Guide unlocks the Qilin Tomb, where the “Spirit Spring” can bring the dead back to life but will trigger a disaster. Yet Xiaoman finds in her grandfather’s old diary: “The Spirit Spring isn’t a curse—it’s the clan’s lie.” As clues deepen, they realize the “guardianship” is actually a thousand-year hoax about the Qilin, and her grandfather’s disappearance was to lead Xiaoman to uncover the truth…
