Top divorce lawyer Jiang Chen is dubbed a "walking legal code" by his peers after mounting an overly rational defense in a complex case involving an emotional scam. In the depths of despair during his divorce cooling-off period, he unexpectedly acquires the "Eye of Empathy": after touching another person for three seconds, he can hear the most honest thoughts they never want anyone to know. He thinks Heaven has granted him a golden finger that will let him "see through lies and win every time," but soon discovers he's sunk into an even deeper mire. When he learns that his wife asked for a divorce to protect him, that behind his client's pitiful sobs lies careful scheming, and that even his closest friends and family are lying to him, he is forced to face a cruel truth: "When a member of society's elite gains the ability to read minds, his greatest enemy is the truth he cannot bear."
