Synopsis

On a sweltering summer night, in a desolate graveyard somewhere outside the city, someone had dug open a fresh grave. More horrifying still, a young man was curled up inside the coffin, sitting on the dead person’s feet and staring at the eerie candlelight above the corpse’s head... Who was he, and why had he come to a graveyard in the middle of the night to watch the candle above a dead person’s head? What terrifying secret lay hidden here?

Five years later, a ruthless figure with a fearsome reputation emerged in Longcheng’s underworld: Lin Feng. His rise was like a sharp blade, and with almost no one’s help but his own, he shattered the balance of power in Longcheng’s criminal world. To his cousin Lin Sen, Lin Feng was a key. If he could persuade his younger cousin to work undercover, then as captain of the criminal investigation squad, he could uproot the entire underworld of Longcheng, along with the forces protecting it.

But would Lin Feng, a man who valued loyalty and gratitude, betray his benefactor? And what about the inhuman crimes he had committed? More importantly, when they were children, Lin Sen had bullied his younger cousin again and again. One was a ruthless figure feared throughout the underworld, a symbol of evil. The other was a veteran criminal investigation captain, sworn to eradicate all of Longcheng’s criminal forces. What sparks would fly when these two brothers, one good and one evil, collided? Crime and wealth, human nature and betrayal, gratitude and family ties, along with the hard-won tenderness they shared in bed: what choice would the Lin brothers make...
