In the shadow of lies and truth, who can see through people's hearts?
Ding Yiyi, an ordinary employee of the city archives, accidentally activated the mysterious "Eye of Truth" system due to his accidental exposure to confidential documents, and has since gained the ability to see through lies. However, behind this gift is a heavy price - his father's mysterious death, his mother's tragic death due to resistance, the cruel truth that he was a genetic experiment subject, and the pursuit of a huge organization called "Pure World Society".
A year ago, he and Lin Shiqian, the crazy leader of the Jingshi Society, had a desperate duel on the cross-river bridge. Lin Shiqian fell into the river and disappeared, but the conspiracy was not over. In order to find out the truth, Ding Yiyi went to Northern Europe incognito as "Chen Mo", a consultant of the International Gene Ethics Investigation Team, but fell into a trap again. Cloning, genetic modification, overseas backup, "Tinder Project"... Behind the layers of fog, his confusing life experience was actually involved - his biological father was actually Ding Zhiyuan, the chief researcher of the "Tinder Project".
At the same time, Su Wan, his comrade who stayed in the country, suddenly lost contact, and the clue pointed to an abandoned thermal power plant on the outskirts of the city. Ding Yiyi resolutely returned to China and started a life-or-death contest with the remaining forces of the Jingshi Society. In dangerous confrontations one after another, he discovered that there was a larger dark organization "Shadow Pavilion" hidden behind the Jingshi Society. They attempt to create "gods" through genetic modification and control the entire human civilization.
