Hunting for Killers Amid the Ashes

Thirteen years ago, on a rainy night, a sudden murder took Shen Xinci's mother's life. As a young child, she hid in the shadows and witnessed the tragedy, powerless to stop it. The killer's face became a blurred, burning nightmare. The police investigation reached a dead end, and the case was eventually suspended, its truth buried in dust.

No one knew that the little girl who survived hadn't chosen to become a police officer. Instead, she took a darker, more dangerous path: she became a professional assassin hidden in the shadows.

She wielded a blade and used murder as a cover, operating beyond the limits of the law in order to gather clues and track down her mother's killer. Every time she struck, she moved one step closer to the darkness. Every clue stirred an old wound.

As the secrets buried for years slowly rose to the surface, she discovered that her mother's death was far more complicated and terrifying than she'd imagined, and that her road to revenge had already led her step by step into a carefully laid trap.
