Introduction to the novel "Her Prism"
Yang Wuan has lived for twenty-six years and has always thought that the world is so noisy.
On the subway, in an office building, in front of a convenience store—other people's thoughts were like never-ending background noise, and he thought everyone was like that. Until that morning rush hour, when he squatted down on the subway platform covering his ears, a strange woman put her hand on his shoulder.
The world is quiet.
Her name is Li Anning. Shengheng Group Administrative Department, the name on the work badge contains the word "An". As soon as her hand touches his, all mind-reading abilities will be completely shut down, like someone pressing the power button in his brain. When he was eight years old, the old monk suddenly had an answer to what he said - there was a mirror in his ear, waiting for someone with "An" in his name to clean it.
But Li Anning also has secrets.
She didn't join Shengheng Group just to work nine to five. She can see lies - when someone else lies, a light shines through the liar. Red means guilty conscience, gray means perfunctory. When Pei Yuankai, vice president of Shengheng Group, lied, his light was black.
She was checking whether Pei Yuankai had killed anyone.
Pei Yuankai was also looking at them. He sent Yang Wu'an a text message with only one line: "See you at the same place tomorrow at three o'clock in the afternoon." Yang Wu'an had never been to any old place. But the place where Pei Yuankai asked him to go was the old place. What Pei Yuankai said is the rule.
The three people's eyes met over the city. Yang Wuan could hear everyone's hearts, but he couldn't hear Pei Yuankai's. Li Anning can see everyone's lies, but not Yang Wuan's - because he never lies to her. Pei Yuankai can control everyone's rules, but he can't control these two people who don't play by the rules.
A game about "hearing", "seeing" and "control" is quietly unfolding in the city's subways, office buildings and late at night. The two pieces of chocolate in Yang Wu'an's pocket that melted and were reluctant to throw away were the last bit of sweetness he kept for himself in this noisy city.
