The Shackles of Guilt

The scalpel in his hand can cut through the most perfect lies.

The insight in his eyes can see through the most hidden crimes.

The meeting between criminal investigation captain Jiang Yi and forensic doctor Gu Nanshu begins with a confrontation rife with prejudice. Jiang Yi is a blazing inferno, while Gu Nanshu is a still, fathomless sea.

Fire and water should never mix, until they face one extraordinary crime after another together. Amid the fog of bloodshed and death, Gu Nanshu’s expertise lights the way for Jiang Yi like a guiding beacon. The inferno is gradually drawn to the mysteries of the deep. He stands by his side, first as a partner, then as someone he depends on, until at last they become each other’s one and only anchor.

When a fiercely devoted protector meets absolute reason, together they write the prologue to a story that uncovers the truth of life and death.
