After an accident, Chen Ming activated the [Director’s Eye]. Specifically, he fell down the stairs while moving, hit the back of his head, and woke up to find a viewfinder floating before his eyes.
Whenever he looks at a person or a scene, a cinematic viewfinder appears in his field of vision, complete with composition guides and lighting analysis. Most importantly, a percentage appears above each person’s head showing their “emotional authenticity.”
This figure indicates how “genuine” someone is in the moment. 100% means completely genuine; 0% means entirely acting or lying.
When he looks through a viewfinder, whether it’s a camera lens or another kind, his ability grows stronger. He can see “key fragments of someone’s memories,” flashing before him like scenes from a movie.
Whenever he completes a project, be it a short film, a feature film, or a short video, he earns ability points based on its “authenticity score” and unlocks new features. Lin Qi is the only person he has ever met whose “authenticity” has consistently stayed above 95%.
Every other woman, Jiang Wei at 70%, Shen Zhi at 65%, and Gu Nian at 30%, has a large element of “performance.” Only Lin Qi barely acts at all. This data-based contrast gives a System-level explanation for why she is “the only woman he hasn’t touched.”
