Unlucky Su Tingxia is unfairly fired by a hotel, but unexpectedly gains the ability to hear other people’s thoughts.
He uses this ability to help the shipping magnate Lan Yinshang expose a corporate spy. Later, by overhearing a kidnapper’s thoughts in time, he saves the second young master of the Lan family from being kidnapped. As a result, he becomes the Lan family’s chief steward, a “minor” figure with considerable influence in high society.
Yet the person fawned over and courted by countless people is secretly fixated on their lofty, upright, kindhearted, mature and steady, taciturn head of the family, Mr. Lan, who trusts him completely as his right-hand man.
The chief steward can hear everyone’s thoughts, but the one person whose thoughts he can’t hear is Mr. Lan.
What a shame!
Until one day, he falls on the stairs and accidentally kisses Mr. Lan, who is coming up.
Then he hears a calm, joyful thought, filled with happiness but struggling to hold back its excitement: I like you so much, I want to hold you like this forever.
Su Tingxia, his heart pounding: ...?!
Th-then hurry up and confess to me! I’ll say yes if you do!
In other people’s eyes, everyone in the Lan family, including its head, his six nephews, and two nieces, is completely nuts.
In Su Tingxia’s eyes, they are cold yet devoted, wild yet gentle. These pampered young masters, adored by all of high society, are actually starved for love and see him as their greatest salvation. He heard it from their own thoughts.
All because he uses his supernatural ability to help these eight young masters overcome their romantic, marital, family, career, and psychological troubles, their hatred, and more. For example:
1. The gentle second young master is deceived by a scumbag for years. In just one week, Su Tingxia gathers evidence of the man’s many crimes and gets him sent to prison.
2. The fourth young master, a famous star, is betrayed by a friend and vilified across the internet, sending his career to rock bottom. Fortunately, Steward Su uncovers the truth in record time, clears his name, and helps him make a comeback.
3. The cousin who has been haunted for years by the unsolved murders of his parents when he was a child finally identifies the culprit and avenges them with Su Tingxia’s help.
On top of that, the playboy fifth young master, the unruly sixth young master, and the youngest master, who suffers from a severe psychological disorder, are all desperately starved for love. With Su Tingxia’s patient guidance (and discipline), everyone in the Lan family comes to “love” their chief steward from the bottom of their hearts.
The chief steward, who earns ten million a year but thinks his hard work is worth even more, is quite pleased with everyone’s love.
Bonus scene:
This was just after he had started hearing Lan Yinshang’s thoughts.
Eleven-year-old Shen Youning, who loved how Su Tingxia always understood him, innocently asked at the dinner table, “Brother, you’re so handsome and so considerate. Do lots of people like you?”
Su Tingxia smiled and asked in return, “What about you? Do you like me?”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the head of the family, sitting across from him, think: I do. I’ve liked you ever since we first met seven years ago.
Su Tingxia’s face turned bright red: ...We’ll talk about that back in our room!
Also, I was only eighteen seven years ago!

Theme: Cherish the person by your side, and cherish this moment
I'm so disgusted by this Zhao Anqi, he's in two different places😡I really can't understand whether he is really affectionate towards Xiaoxia or fake! I have to say that Xiao Xia is really handsome, and she is not sloppy at all when it comes to relationships.
Congratulations to the teacher for writing a new article 💪 💪 Xiaoxia is so smart! So handsome
Xiaoxia, this quasi-boyfriend, won't cheat on that friend of his, right?☹️It's a bit embarrassing 😭 😭
Congratulations to the teacher for writing a new article🥳[empty bowl][empty bowl] Xiaoxia can't hear Lan Yinshang's thoughts, is it because Lan speaks the truth🤔
