When Lin Mo, a social animal, was at the lowest point in his life, due to a near-death accident, he awakened a golden finger called the "Eye of Human Desire" and could clearly "see" the strongest desires and fears in other people's hearts. He uses this ability to accurately align himself in an agency with numerous factions and hidden rules, resolve crises, find out the weaknesses of his opponents, and rises through the ranks from a transparent person that no one cares about. However, as his ability advanced (from seeing the outline of desire to interpreting specific information, and even triggering the backlash of desire), he discovered that he was not the only "special one". A secret organization "Taotie" whose purpose is to control and harvest desires has surfaced. The bizarre deaths and madness incidents that have occurred one after another in the city are all related to excessively distorted desires. Lin Mo must walk a tightrope between using desire to climb and preventing being swallowed by desire, and finally makes the ultimate choice between the temptation of the pinnacle of power, the responsibility to protect the people he loves, and the mission to reveal all the truth.
