Mindreading Murder Hunt

After a bizarre murder, criminal psychology expert Lu Chen sets his sights on Su Wan, the owner of an art gallery. She seems fragile, yet can describe details that even the police haven’t uncovered. To protect herself, Su Wan has no choice but to reveal a secret she has kept hidden: she has a synesthetic empathic ability that lets her sense the powerful emotions left behind on objects by touching them.

Lu Chen is stunned by this “unscientific” ability, but quickly realizes it may be the key to solving cold cases. He proposes a dangerous deal: she will help him catch the culprit as a specially appointed consultant, and he will provide legal protection for her ability. Together, they form an unconventional partnership. She uses her heart as a mirror to reflect the emotional fragments left at crime scenes; he uses logic as a measure to map the shadowy labyrinth of human nature.

From a bloodstained gallery to the depths of the internet, they work together to solve a series of cases entangled with human depravity and social ills. But they discover that every case bears the faint mark of an organization known as the “Temple.” Made up of highly intelligent criminals, it is turning the entire city into a stage for its cruel social experiment.

When the ultimate truth Su Wan uncovers points directly to Lu Chen’s most respected mentor, their trust and feelings face their greatest test. Amid the clash between reason and emotion, and the choice between the abyss and redemption, they must join hands to strip away the most perfect disguise, bring the truth to light, and let love become the deepest form of salvation.
