The Genius Who Sees Through the World

Description

As a child, Shin Woo-Jin was kidnapped and locked away in a warehouse, forced to live as a slave. But against all odds, he was rescued and finally stepped into the outside world. Though free, Woo-jin wasn’t like other children. He had an extraordinary gift—the ability to read people. By observing the smallest facial expressions and unconscious gestures, he could see through their thoughts, emotions, and intentions with near-perfect accuracy. Like a profiler, like a modern-day Sherlock, Woo-Jin learned to navigate the world, one observation at a time. But for someone who sees too much, living an ordinary life is the hardest thing of all. All he ever wanted was a peaceful, simple life. But the world had other plans.

“As I thought… living a normal life is far too difficult.”
