Officer, You Smell So Good!

Nineteen-year-old Cheng Ye works at a convenience store by day and scrapes by in the shadows of the old city at night. He has a secret he must never let anyone discover: he is a nonhuman being on the purge list. An accident gives him the ability to grow stronger by devouring others of his kind, and he is the only person in the entire city who can perfectly conceal his nonhuman aura. During a surprise inspection, a ruthless female officer who specializes in hunting nonhumans sets her sights on the convenience store where he works. To stay alive and protect the older sister who depends on him, Cheng Ye must use his ability to conceal himself perfectly and infiltrate the underground black market on a night when the entire city is under lockdown. In this deadly game of hunter and prey, will he be mercilessly hunted down, or will he climb step by step to the top of the city, treading on his enemies’ bones?
