Luo Lie, a ruthless and determined bastard in Yanzhou City, was adopted by the old detective Luo Tie since he was a child, and he developed the intuition and sharp teeth of a wolfdog. When he was eighteen years old, he was plotted against and imprisoned for three years. On the day he was released from prison, his adoptive father was killed, and all he was left with was a blood-stained cowhide envelope and an iron rule: don't believe anyone's words.
On dinner night, a group of old friends insisted on asking him to play "Truth or Dare". He chose to tell the truth, his wine glass was at the bottom, but a voice suddenly exploded in his mind - it was the deepest hidden voice of the people at the same table. He thought he was hallucinating after drinking, until the man whispered a secret in his ear: the person who killed Luo Tie was sitting at this table.
From then on, what Luo Lie possesses is no longer intuition, but the ability to "read minds" that reaches people's hearts. Only by touching each other's body, drinking each other's wine, and meeting each other's eyes when the heartbeat is pounding, can you cut into the fragments of the other person's mind. Every reading has a price. In the envelope left by Luo Tie, he discovered an underground underworld empire spanning Yanzhou City - the "Whale Luo Society" that had been in power for twenty years.
Luo Lie had no backer, so he built one himself. Starting from collecting debts, he drove the casino owner crazy; starting from chasing the murderer, he forced the killer back behind the scenes; starting from a game, he burned the fig leaf of the underworld giants to the ground. But the more secrets he uncovered, the more he discovered that his adoptive father's adoption was a huge chess game in itself - Luo Lie was not a chess piece, but the "material" that could be sacrificed at any time.
And the opponent in this catastrophic battle is waiting in the dark for him to put himself on the chessboard...
