A Bullet Hole Between the Brows

[The Dead Return + Killer Hunt + Feuding Among the Elite + Mystery and Deduction + Deadly Conspiracy]

Shen Anning died in the sunset of her eighteenth year. A bullet pierced her forehead and sent her tumbling from a rooftop.

From heiress to cold corpse, she thought it was all over. Little did she know, everything was only just beginning.

When she “awoke” again, she had become a ghost, unable to touch the world of the living. The bullet lodged in her forehead was both the anchor of her existence and proof that she could not rest in peace.

She drifted to the edge of the city, where a rundown locksmith shop took her in. There, she met a boy named Zhang Tiesheng.

As she explored the lingering obsessions of other ghosts, she followed the clues back through the past, only to discover that the killer's gun was pointed at the heart of the family she knew best. The boy at the locksmith shop also seemed closely connected to a cold case from years ago.

This is a dead woman's reckoning with the world of the living, a nocturnal contest that began with death.

Every good deed quietly pointed toward the mystery of her death. That bullet had exposed a carefully planned conspiracy among the elite.

As the truth tears apart the past, can she claim justice for herself at the boundary between life and death, and can she hold on to the one warmth she has found?
