The Mind Reader

The Mind Reader is an urban supernatural novel by the web author Zhu Wuying, serialized on Qidian Chinese Network starting April 12, 2012. After nine hundred and ninety-nine reincarnations, the protagonist Jiang Feng storms the underworld and returns to the human world, where he unexpectedly gains the power of mind reading and can henceforth hear what others are thinking. With this ability to "see into people's hearts," he moves among all kinds of characters in the city: the quiet, elegant girl next door, the striking flight attendant, entertainment stars, rich young ladies... one after another they enter his life, and his fate changes completely. Built around the line "with mind reading in hand, see through the hearts of the world," the book weaves its supernatural premise into everyday city life, social dealings, and emotional entanglements, using the protagonist's special perspective of "hearing people's inner voices" to display the many faces of the world and the true and false, good and evil in human hearts. It follows the light, fast-paced path of urban supernatural wish-fulfillment fiction. As a web novel built on mind reading as its core cheat-like power, its appeal lies not in rigorous deduction but in the protagonist using his information advantage to resolve troubles, build connections, and navigate every situation with ease—suitable for readers looking for an easy, brisk urban supernatural novel to pass the time.
