The protagonist Chen Mo became the only survivor of a cruise ship disaster called the "Starfish" that sank. This huge mental shock and near-death experience gave him a special ability - whenever he "checks in" at a place or touches an object, he can read the most profound "memory" or "emotion" attached to it.
At the beginning of the story, Chen Mo was living in poverty. In order to get out of the predicament, he began to consciously use this ability. He read the "memory" of antiques in the antique market, easily picked up the leaks, and got the first pot of gold; he read the "memory" of the relics at the crime scene, helped the police repeatedly solve strange cases, and got acquainted with the heroine who is a forensic doctor; he touched the dice in the casino, read the "memory" of their rolling, and became the god of the casino.
With the continuous use of his abilities, he accumulated huge wealth and his social status rose steadily, which also aroused the covetousness of all forces. More importantly, he discovered that the "Starfish" disaster he survived was not an accident, but a huge conspiracy. In order to find out the truth and protect himself and his loved ones, Chen Mo used the ability to "read memories" to peel away the layers of fog shrouding the city step by step, and launched a peak showdown of information and intelligence with the mysterious organization behind everything. The cool part is that the protagonist uses the information gap to carry out dimensionality reduction attacks in various fields such as business wars, treasure hunting, solving crimes, and enemies. He pretends to be a pig and eats the tiger, and finally reveals all the secrets and reaches the pinnacle of life.
