Ye Qiu, a young nobleman, isn't your average rich second-generation heir. Why? Because he was born with the divine gift of Hearing! These aren't ordinary ears: they're super ears that can hear an ant yawn. Everyone thought he was useless, since his talent merely made his hearing stronger, so they locked him in a tower sealed by a barrier and turned him into a shut-in.
But don't underestimate this shut-in. His life in the tower isn't all video games and food delivery. He discovers that his ears can do more than just hear: he can eavesdrop on magical incantations, turning him into the magic world's very own wiretapper. He secretly learns human magic, and even the chants of the gods in heaven become a special perk for his ears. Before he knows it, he's mastered legendary super-magic and become a secret internet sensation in the magical world.
More than ten years later, Ye Qiu finally decides to leave the tower. But he knows next to nothing about the outside world, and barely understands his own superpower. He's like a lucky guy who suddenly won the lottery but has no idea how to spend his fortune.
