[Take note: The male lead is no all-powerful “undefeated general,” and the female lead is no kindhearted pushover.]
Shi An: An emotionally controlled introvert. Efficient at deduction, but taciturn by day.
Hang Yu: A forceful, fiery extrovert. Dramatic, erratic, and quick-tempered.
A detective story and a pair of lovers with a shared goal, reunited after years apart.
A murder rocks a peaceful town. The victim is found dead at home in their pajamas, but the “home” is not the victim's. It's Hang Yu's.
After half a month driving around to gather inspiration, Hang Yu returns to find herself locked out of her own home. A stranger in the same line of work, someone she barely knew, has died inside, wearing her pajamas and slippers.
To make matters worse, she runs into Shi An, her “mute ex-boyfriend,” whom she hasn't seen in six years.
He got there first. His face is deathly pale, and when he sees her, his eyes go wide like a rabbit's.
Maybe he thought she was the one who had died.
…
Serves him right. Hope he was scared to death.
…
But as the investigation unfolds, Hang Yu and Shi An gradually discover that everyone in town has secrets, and no one is innocent.
A conspiracy from the past is quietly coming to light, and more innocent people are about to lose their lives…
