Synopsis

At seventeen, Lou Wangan was a timid boy who barely registered in his class.

By chance, he obtained a tattered ancient book on reading people. It recorded millennia-old wisdom about understanding others, carefully breaking down microexpressions, unconscious body language, and the unspoken meanings behind people's words. It revealed the subtle rules of navigating human relationships.

Little by little, Lou Wangan developed exceptional emotional intelligence and a clear understanding of the world.

When people deliberately made things difficult for him, he handled it with ease. When they tested him with false pretenses, he saw through them without a word. When they showed him genuine kindness, he responded with warmth and thoughtfulness.

An ancient volume taught him how to read people and understand the world. The ordinary boy shed his deep-seated insecurity and began moving through life's many complexities with ease.

He not only won the favor of the campus goddess, but also helped countless people struggling with psychological trauma.

Perhaps many readers have faced a similar frustration: even when their intelligence and abilities are just as good as anyone else's, people who know how to speak well and understand social dynamics tend to get better results from the same situation.

May this book offer you a little insight, and help you handle your studies, daily life, and relationships with greater tact.

The male and female leads are each other's only partners. No golden finger. Family bonds, friendship, romance, multiple storylines, and a tearjerking tale.
