King of the Arcane Arts

Young Xia Tianshi shoulders the burden of avenging his elder brother and struggles to advance in the art of physiognomy, from the most basic "reading faces with the eyes" to "opening the third eye" and "celestial sight," before reaching the ultimate stages of "reading with the heart" and "reading without the heart."
