A robbery and a stray bullet changed Li Ping's life.
At the age of twenty-four, this ordinary college student from the countryside encountered an armed robber in a pawn shop in the city. The bullet grazed the eyeball and shrapnel was embedded in the back of the eye. After the operation, he retained his vision, but found that the world became different in his eyes - he could see the crickets behind the earthen wall, the fatal shadow in his mother's stomach, and the light that had been sleeping for thousands of years underground.
This is not a gift from God, but a secret that cannot be told. He quit his job and fled back to the countryside, trying to live a normal life. But those eyes with golden threads forced him to "see" things he shouldn't see again and again: the cancer in the lungs of the neighbor's uncle, the hardness on the liver of the strong man in the village, and the warm light under his house.
He wanted to use this ability to change his destiny, but he was drawn into a bigger whirlpool. Someone is eyeing him and wants to take him away for "research"; someone wants to use him to steal underground treasures; and every time he uses his ability, he is one step closer to blindness.
When his mother is kidnapped, when the secret is discovered by the most trusted person, when the circle of golden thin lines becomes lighter and lighter - Li Ping must make a choice: use these eyes to see the future, or use them to protect the present?
This is a story of ordinary people struggling in the face of superpowers. There is no cheating and counterattack, no wanton behavior, only the real life of living, hiding and carrying.
Is it a gift from fate or the beginning of another curse?
