Three years ago, a carefully orchestrated cheating scandal sent the life of prodigy Xie Qinian into free fall, turning him from a top student at the peak of his success into a hard-pressed delivery rider. Three years later, an accident gives him the supernatural ability to "see through lies." Through his eyes, he sees lies coiling like poisonous vines around every corner beneath the city's glossy surface. He chooses as the first target of his revenge and investigation Huang Caiqing, the campus belle who framed him back then and is now a well-known company's public relations director.
But the truth is far more complicated than he imagined. Huang Caiqing wasn't the mastermind. She, too, was a puppet controlled by the Sky Screen Group. Framing Xie Qinian had been no more than a "trial run" to test the group's methods of control. Now, though she appears to live a charmed life, Huang Caiqing is tormented day and night by guilt and fear. Xie Qinian's return is like a key, stirring her long-silenced conscience.
Using food delivery as a cover, Xie Qinian moves through every level of the city, using his ability to gather evidence of the Sky Screen Group's crimes, from academic fraud and commercial scams to corrupt deals between money and power. His actions soon alert the group, and one attack follows another: his account on the delivery platform is suspended, his home is put under surveillance, and he even faces threats to his life. Meanwhile, each time Xie Qinian confronts Huang Caiqing with the truth, her inner defenses crumble further. She begins secretly providing him with scattered pieces of information, and the two form a dangerous alliance full of tension, caught somewhere between enemies and friends.
As the New City Project reaches a critical stage, the Sky Screen Group's purge grows ever more ruthless. With time running out, Xie Qinian and Huang Caiqing must join forces with a righteous journalist they met by chance and a tech expert with a conscience
