Female Lead: Lin Tian, 23, a recent graduate and newcomer to the workplace. Sweet and gentle, but resilient at heart, she's a little scatterbrained but quick-witted when it matters. She unexpectedly gains the ability to sense other people's emotions through touch, and after it develops, she can hear their exact thoughts. But it works only intermittently and takes a heavy toll on her. She comes from an ordinary family and struggles to make ends meet.
Male Lead: Gu Jingchen, 28, a cold, aloof, seemingly ascetic and exceptionally capable group CEO and venture capital tycoon. In truth, his childhood left him insecure, and he has a mild emotional processing disorder: he doesn't understand love or know how to express it. For some reason, the female lead's mind-reading ability has no effect on him, or perhaps it works in reverse, letting her hear only a jumble of noise about him. She's the only person he "can't read," which draws him to her.
