The Male Obstetrician Who Can Hear His Patients' Thoughts

[Medical drama] + [mind-reading] + [satisfying workplace comeback]

Yang Yi, a male obstetrician-gynecologist, unexpectedly gains the ability to read minds.

He hears the despair in expectant mother Shen Suxin’s heart: she is hiding her late-stage ovarian cancer to save the child she is carrying. But when he tries to reveal the truth, Director Wang Jianguo reprimands him in front of everyone for making “baseless speculations,” orders him to copy textbooks, strips him of his access to medical cases, and turns him into a laughingstock in the department.

From then on, Yang Yi’s world is torn in two. One half is the cold surgical lights above the operating table and the steady beeping of monitors; the other is a flood of “inner voices”: the fears patients can’t express, the secrets their families deliberately conceal, and the schemes hidden beneath his colleagues’ false smiles.

He hears high-risk patient Mo Xiangwan’s desperate plea: “I want to live. Please, let me live.” He also hears Zhou Tingting secretly recording every one of his “abnormalities,” and the cold laughter behind every dangerous case Wang Jianguo sends his way.

He once thought mind-reading was a gift, one that let him see the “person” beyond the illness. Then a patient’s family sent him a formal letter demanding an explanation, the department formed a “self-review committee” to examine every one of his medical records, and Qin Yu, a genius doctor parachuted into the hospital, challenged him in front of everyone. Even Su Qingqing, the cardiology expert and the only person who trusted him, looked at him with the first crack in her faith.

When you can hear everyone else’s secrets but can’t hear where your own fate is headed, can a male obstetrician-gynecologist hold on to his principles in the maze of Renhua Hospital, or will he become a pawn?
