Mind Reading: The Microexpression Detective

Yao Xuechen, a mind-reading detective, can spot a lie from a glance and infer an old ailment from someone clutching their stomach. He leads the major crimes unit through the streets of Hong Kong, solving one carefully disguised mystery of the human heart after another amid the aroma of pineapple buns in cha chaan tengs and beneath the shadows of tenement rooftops. Behind every case is a contest of microexpressions: a killer's trembling pupils give them away, a twitch at the corner of the mouth exposes a lie. But when the cases are closed, they still have to face their everyday lives: some are trapped by love, while others are pursued by their past. The truth lies in the details, and life is hidden beyond the cases.
