Darling, I Want to Kill You

The body of a young woman, covered in marks of torture, is found in the southern suburbs of Haizhou. Her injuries remind the police of the “Night Owl” serial murder case that rocked the nation fifteen years ago. Lu Chengchuan’s biological father, Jiang Qishan, was the man the police identified as the Night Owl, and who ultimately died in a sea of flames. Calm and perceptive, Cheng Zhiwei suspects that another person capable of acting independently exists inside Lu Chengchuan’s body. She gives that person the temporary codename Shadow One.
