Zhang Rui accidentally awakened to the ability to read minds on a rainy night after graduation, but he didn't know how deep this "talent" would drag him into. In order to prove himself, he traveled to Japan to join the gray production team and quickly rose to prominence by virtue of his mind-reading ability. However, he caught a glimpse of the cruel truth amid the extravagant pursuit of wealth - the so-called financial promotion was actually a systematic plundering of elderly people living alone.
When the gangster Shang Yi Sanosuke offered him an olive branch, when his long-lost cousin Zhang Cong appeared as a descendant of Qianmen, and his former girlfriend Zhuang Yan became the "shadow" beside the gangster, Zhang Rui found himself standing in the center of a huge spider web. Mind reading can see through people's hearts, but it cannot see through the ancient world behind people's hearts. In the city of sex in Tokyo, how can he find his own way between the thousand-year-old wisdom of hundreds of scholars and the cold laws of the Black Gold Empire?
This is a story about choice and price, as well as an ancient battle between rivers and lakes in a modern city.
