I Can See the Countdown

Su Chen is refused a loan by his wife and, while delivering food, is hit by Xiao Wan'er's car. He discovers he can see countdowns above people's heads and foresees a bloody calamity for Xiao Wan'er.

Su Chen catches Yang Shanshan with Chen Long and demands to know why she betrayed their three-year marriage. She mocks him as a mere delivery rider, and Chen Long taunts him. Su Chen again sees golden numbers above their heads and realizes red numbers mean imminent death, confirming he can see the lifespan of all living things.

Su Chen buys a jade pendant for thirty yuan at an antique stall. When the vendor tries to lowball an item Su Chen offers, Su Chen identifies it as Ming Wanli imperial ware and demands 180,000. The vendor concedes and pays on the spot.

Su Chen receives the 180,000 yuan transfer and plans to use it for his mother's treatment. He meets Xiao Wan'er again at an antique shop and sees her remaining lifespan has dropped sharply. He warns her of a fatal danger within ten minutes, but she dismisses him as a fraud.

Su Chen arrives at the ICU to find the hospital moving his mother out to make room for a wealthy patient. Yang Shanshan and Chen Long humiliate him, and Chen Long offers a donation to have them expelled. Su Chen throws down the 180,000 yuan in cash, buying time.

Xiao Wan'er heeds Su Chen's warning and delays her departure. Ten minutes later, she learns her car exploded on the ring expressway, confirming his prediction. She finds Su Chen's dropped critical condition notice and rushes to Mingya Hospital, which belongs to her group.

Xiao Wan'er arrives at Mingya Hospital, fires the director and a nurse on the spot, and orders the best care for Su Chen's mother, Sun Xiumei. Yang Shanshan appears and mocks Su Chen. Wan'er introduces herself as CEO of Xiao Group and claims to be Su Chen's lucky wife.

Yang Shanshan mocks Su Chen for relying on a rich woman. Xiao Wan'er declares Su Chen her destined husband. Shanshan demands three million for a divorce, and Wan'er pays on the spot. Su Chen rebukes Shanshan for draining his savings and warns she will pay it all back.

Su Chen learns Xiao Wan'er is using him as a temporary shield in the Xiao family inheritance struggle. Wan'er begs him to pose as her fiancé at her grandfather's birthday banquet, and he reluctantly agrees. While buying a gift, Su Chen discovers he can now see internal body pathways and purchases an item the shopkeeper dismisses, planning to restore Wan'er's standing at the feast.

At the Xiao family's old mansion birthday banquet, the first and second branches jostle for position while the third branch is late. A couple bursts in with their critically ill son, begging for help. The Xiao family members diagnose a rare disease, refuse treatment, and fear failure would ruin their medical reputation.

Outside the Xiao mansion, Su Chen treats the critically ill boy and stabilizes him, but admits he can only extend his life by one year. Entering the birthday banquet with Xiao Wan'er, he is recognized as an ordinary man, humiliated by a relative, and offered one million to leave her.

A Xiao relative humiliates Su Chen with a one-million offer to leave. Xiao Wan'er retaliates by threatening to cut off the eldest branch's funds. The Xiao patriarch arrives, and Wan'er complains of mistreatment. An elder with thirty years of medical experience questions Su Chen's claim of saving a life, and Su Chen calmly confirms he did.

The eldest Xiao son accuses Su Chen of lying about saving a patient. Xiao Wan'er fiercely defends her fiancé. The patriarch sets the matter aside, and the family presents birthday gifts — jade and calligraphy — while Xiao Qi pointedly asks what gift Su Chen has prepared.

At the Xiao patriarch's birthday banquet, Su Chen's porcelain vase is mocked as worthless by relatives, and Xiao Wan'er defends him. Meanwhile, Association head Wu Yue learns of the celebration and decides to bring a lavish gift in person to thank Su Chen for saving his grandson.

Su Chen appraises the birthday gifts from Xiao Qi, Xiao Dongshan, and Xiao Beihai, revealing their low value and declaring his own snuff bottle worth over two million. The furious patriarch strips Xiao Wan'er of her CEO title and threatens to expel her unless she leaves Su Chen. Wan'er chooses to stand by him.

Wu Yue arrives at the Xiao family banquet to thank whoever saved his grandchild, who fell ill near the Xiao estate. Xiao Qi, who entered last, falsely claims he treated the child. The family believes him and sees him as the heir.

Wu Yue recognizes Su Chen as the one who saved his grandchild and publicly thanks him, pledging the Wu family's future support. Xiao Qi falsely claims to have mastered the family's secret acupuncture technique, and the Xiao elders immediately name him acting CEO and heir. Xiao Wan'er refuses to cut ties with Su Chen, and Wu Yue reveals the rescuer's surname is Su, not Xiao.

Wu Yue publicly declares Su Chen as the real rescuer of his grandchild and berates Xiao Qi for taking the credit. Xiao Qi is forced to apologize to Su Chen, and when Wu Yue offers to make him disappear, Su Chen simply tells him to get lost.

At the banquet, Xiao Qi presents a jade ruyi he claims is a Qing-dynasty treasure. Wu Yue identifies it as a recent imitation worth only a few thousand. The Xiao elders, furious, expel the eldest branch from the family.

Wu Yue identifies the third branch's porcelain vase as an ivory snuff bottle once offered to Emperor Qianlong, worth over two million, matching Su Chen's earlier judgment. Intrigued, Wu Yue tests Su Chen with a Tang Sancai piece, but Su Chen hints the three-million-yuan acquisition hides a flaw within.

Su Chen smashes Wu Yue's Tang Sancai, revealing a simplified-Chinese mark that proves it a forgery. Convinced, Wu Yue declares Xiao Wan'er the family head and gifts Su Chen a Yangshan villa. Su Chen then learns his mother has woken up and heads to the hospital.

Su Chen discharges his mother Sun Xiumei and prepares to take her to a new home. Yang Shanshan and Chen Long appear, mocking him as Xiao Wan'er's stand-in, and hand over their wedding invitation. Su Chen accepts calmly, promising they will remember it forever.

Su Chen reassures his mother and promises her a better life. She brings up Yang Shanshan and urges him to find a new partner. Su Chen then joins Wu Yue at an auction, where Zhang Kui outbids Wu Yue for a sword. Wu Yue's daughter doubts Su Chen's appraisal skills, and Su Chen says he needs a closer look at the raw jadeite.

The auction reaches its finale with three raw jadeite stones. After a close look, Su Chen determines that lots one and two hold little value, while lot three contains a major find. He tells Wu Yue to secure it but worries Zhang Kui will drive up the price. When bidding opens on lot one, Zhang Kui immediately challenges Wu Yue.

Zhang Kui outbids Wu Yue on lot one for twenty million. When lot two opens, Wu Yue asks for face, but Zhang Kui again seizes it for twenty million. Zhang Kui then dismisses lot three as worthless scrap, scaring off other bidders, so Wu Yue's side secures it for just seven hundred thousand.

The third rough stone that Wu Yue's side won for seven hundred thousand is cut on the spot, revealing a glass-type imperial green jade worth over a hundred million. Zhang Kui refuses to accept it and demands his own stone be cut immediately.

Zhang Kui's two rough stones yield nothing, and Wanbao Group shareholders demand he repay forty million. Grateful for Su Chen's help, Wu Yue offers to introduce him to Feng Wudi, Lin City's true controller, whose word can overturn the city.

Wu Yue introduces Su Chen to Feng Wudi, Lin City's true controller. Su Chen bluntly states that Feng Wudi will not live past this summer, enraging Feng Junyu. He then reveals Feng Wudi's secret paralysis, shocking the man and forcing him to demand a cure.

Su Chen spots the jade pendant on Feng Wudi's waist absorbing his lifespan and smashes it. Feng Junyu protests, but Feng Wudi immediately feels his vitality return and stands up from his paralysis. Grateful, Feng Wudi vows to repay Su Chen and realizes someone sent the pendant to kill him.

Feng Junyu presses Su Chen to diagnose her. He says she suffers from irritability, night sweats, and an imbalance, and suggests she find a boyfriend. Su Chen then asks a grateful Feng Wudi to destroy the Chen Group within three days. Later, Feng Wudi sends over the transfer documents for Nantian Hotel.

Su Chen shows up at Nantian Hotel for Yang Shanshan and Chen Long's wedding. Chen Long tries to humiliate him at the door, but security respectfully lets Su Chen in. During the ceremony, Yang Shanshan publicly thanks her ex-husband Su Chen in her speech.

Yang Shanshan thanks Su Chen for his uselessness as guests mock him. Su Chen says he prepared an unforgettable gift, and news breaks that Chen Group's stock is crashing. Chen Long and the guests refuse to believe Su Chen is behind it.

Chen Group's warehouse burns down, destroying all goods and pushing the company toward bankruptcy. Guests assume Feng Wudi is behind the attack, but when he arrives, he declares that offending Su Chen brings worse consequences than offending him.

Feng Wudi publicly declares his support for Su Chen, leaving Chen Long and Yang Shanshan terrified. Chen Long is forced to kneel and beg Su Chen for mercy, blaming Yang Shanshan and threatening divorce. Su Chen refuses to forgive them, wishes them a happy wedding, and orders them taken away.

Su Chen runs into Wu Yue, who was sent by Xiao Wan'er to gather intelligence on the Chen family. They witness Feng Jie pestering Xiaoxiao. To get rid of him, Xiaoxiao suddenly declares that Su Chen is her fiancé, leaving Su Chen stunned.

After being rejected by Xiaoxiao, Feng Jie angrily reveals that he is Feng Wudi's grandson, trying to intimidate Su Chen and Xiaoxiao. Xiaoxiao calls over Feng Jie's aunt Feng Junyu, who scolds Feng Jie instead of backing him up and orders him to call Su Chen 'uncle.'

Feng Junyu forces Feng Jie to hand over his allowance and address Su Chen as 'Master Su.' Noticing Feng Jie's stock losses, Su Chen experiments with his countdown power and discovers he can see a stock's future trend. He then tells Feng Jie to buy Heilong shares.

Feng Junyu asks Su Chen to pick up her younger sister Qinqin from school and gives him a Zhenlong token, claiming no one in Lin City dares to stop its bearer. Su Chen meets Qinqin, who bluntly says he looks unimpressive and warns him not to set his sights on her best friend.

Qinqin brings Su Chen to a KTV to meet her friends, who mock him for arriving by taxi and not owning a car, calling him a kept man. Qinqin defends him, but her friends tease her about it. Su Chen receives a call offering three million for an appraisal, yet Qinqin accuses him of putting on an act and warns him to stay away from her best friend.

Su Chen arrives at Tiannan Grand Hotel and learns Feng Wudi has given him the entire building, including the KTV. Qinqin's friends keep mocking him when Xue Er barges into the private room. Recognizing the underworld hall master, the friends panic as Xue Er orders Qinqin and the other two women to drink with him.
