After a fire, Lin Zhixia awakens a passive mind-reading ability called Heart Echo. Within three meters, the selfish motives, schemes, and panic hidden beneath people's polite masks pour into her mind without restraint. But this ability has a fatal blind spot: there are two people whose thoughts she will never hear.
The institute has sealed away a batch of old case files from a fire twenty years ago, riddled with suspicious details. The benefactor, Fu Jingshen, is refined and kind, yet secretly stops at nothing to destroy the records. Her colleague Xie Yan is taciturn and mysterious, always investigating the old case in secret.
As she navigates thoughts that may or may not be genuine, Lin Zhixia gradually realizes that a fleeting evil thought can never define a person. When rumors and traps come one after another, she stops relying on her mind-reading and instead trusts physical evidence and logic, step by step uncovering the truth behind the long-buried arson. At last, she understands: no matter how many heart echoes you hear, actions are what reveal the truth.
