Echoes in the Bones

Forensic pathologist Su Nianqing is known as the Ice Queen of Luocheng, but an invisible pull stirs something inside her. Her “bone resonance” ability always produces a strange vibration when she’s around Lu Xingchen, a passionate criminal investigator. The impulse drives Su Nianqing to pay attention to Lu Xingchen: she tries to catch her eye at crime scenes when they’re “off duty,” brings her a hot coffee on late nights, claiming it’s “covered by the department,” and even instinctively drags her away from the edge of an explosion when she’s in danger. Yet all she says, coldly, is, “If you die, that’ll mean more work for me.”

Su Nianqing thinks she’s simply using Lu Xingchen’s powerful emotional energy to heighten her own perception, until the shadowy Eyes organization pushes them to the brink. Lu Xingchen steps in front of her without hesitation. “If you want to touch her, you’ll have to get past my dead body first!”

In that moment, Su Nianqing finally understands: what she has been “hearing” was never a cold resonance. It was love. When their hearts finally draw close, memories of the Eyes organization and fragments of her own buried past begin surging back...

This time, Su Nianqing takes her hand of her own accord.

The wheels of fate are already turning.
