Introduction to the novel "Burning Night"
On the edge of a forgotten city, a knife that has been waiting for ten years, a group of people who cannot let go.
When Lu Chen crawled out of the street fight on a rainy night, he was covered in blood, holding a baseball bat embedded with minced meat in his hand. He didn't know whose bones he smashed that night, nor did he know that he was about to be involved in a deadly situation that would last for twenty-one years and entangle three generations.
Master Hu wanted his life - not because of hatred, but because he happened to appear in the wrong place and broke up the deadly drug deal code-named "Ye Tan".
The hermit saved his life - not out of mercy, but because he happened to be a disposable chess piece that could penetrate deep water.
And that woman whom I have never met before, Lin Feng. She died at the age of twenty-nine and sank in a mass burial reef off the old port. However, with a knife, a word, and a fifteen-year wait, she tightly tied the lame Lao Shun, her cousin who had been dormant for twenty-one years, and this lone wolf crawling back from hell into the same web of fate.
This is a chess game in which no one can escape unscathed.
Lord Tiger built his throne with thirty years of habit and absolute control, but he went to Longquan Pond every Wednesday to wait for someone who would never wake up.
Yinke arranged everything with calculations as precise as clocks, but in the transaction of "one life is worth one life", for the first time, he tasted the feeling of going beyond calculation.
Lao Shun used his three broken fingers and fifteen years to guard the knife, guard a light, and guard a promise that "the knife is still there, but the debt is not paid off."
And Lu Chen——
He just wants to live. I want to take the place of those who are dead, waiting, and unable to leave again.
