A cold-blooded detective × an unhinged forensic pathologist: two formidable partners take you into the maze of serial murders, where you'll witness a forbidden love growing at the edge of the abyss, tempered by bloodshed and the truth.
Lu Lin, a hard-edged captain of the criminal investigation team, carries the burden of his partner's death and punishes himself through his work on each case. The new partner assigned to him by the bureau, forensic pathologist Shen Jue, is a “madman” who hums in the autopsy room and is fascinated by the darkness of human nature.
A bizarre and brutal case involving a young woman who was skinned alive binds together two people who couldn't be more different.
Lu Lin believes in evidence and logic, while Shen Jue sees straight through to people's hearts and desires.
“Is the killer really what you're afraid of?” Every time Shen Jue probes him, he strikes precisely at Lu Lin's deepest wounds.
When a serial killer reappears on a rainy night and clues to an old case surface, the two are forced to forge a dangerous understanding as they learn to work together.
But they gradually discover that the bloody mystery in front of them is intertwined with their own painful pasts, leading to a dark truth capable of devouring everything.
One is a prisoner of the past; the other, an observer who walks the abyss.
When every disguise is torn away, the only light that can guide them is the faint, unextinguished glimmer in each other's eyes.
I wrote half of it as a eunuch 😅
