Synopsis

Fifteen years ago, a car accident was officially classified as a traffic accident. By now, dust had long settled over the case file in the old archives of the Hequan Public Security Bureau.

“Your father's death wasn't an accident.”

An anonymous email brought Chi Sang back to her hometown.

To tear open the truth sealed away for fifteen years, she returned alone to the small city she had left behind so long ago, posing as a forensic science intern.

On her first day at a crime scene, she ran into Jiang Mo, the captain leading the major case.

The man seemed difficult to approach, yet he was like the winter sun. Without her noticing, he planted a longing in the heart she had kept frozen for years, one she didn't even dare admit to herself.

Once, she lost her balance and fell into his arms. His low chuckle sent warm breath brushing over her flushed ear as he murmured, his voice low and just a little husky:

“Yinyin, how much longer are you going to lie in my arms?”

“Yinyin, have you had enough?”

The person who had left without a word back then was now back in his arms, lost and found again.

Chi Sang's fingertips still grazed his burning chest. She wasn't flustered in the least. Looking up, she curled her lips in a provocative smile.

“If I haven't had enough, Captain Jiang... can I keep touching you?”

Jiang Mo's breath caught. His ears instantly turned a faint red. He forced himself to stay calm as he helped her up, though he couldn't hide the emotions surging in his eyes.

Who was the anonymous sender? Who was the factory trap meant for? What had her father's death really been hiding?

She thought she could follow the clues and kill her enemy with her own hands. But it wasn't until the final layer of fog lifted that she saw the truth: her father's death had never been an accident. A vast web had been woven behind it, spanning fifteen years.

The author has a great imagination. It's not just a suspense novel, but also a story about growth and redemption. The journey from mutual suspicion to fighting side by side, and finally to a heartfelt confession between the male and female protagonists, is so moving.
