She Said the Truth Would Sleep Forever

Wen Nianci is the youngest chief forensic examiner on the Jing City Criminal Investigation Squad. Steady-handed and cool-headed, she can make even white bones “speak.” The newly transferred squad leader, Qi Hemian, is a talkative wild card who dared to snatch evidence from her at their very first crime scene. He even had the nerve to say, “I was worried that spending too long with the dead might make Dr. Wen forget how to talk to the living.” Everyone was waiting to watch the ice queen collide with the wildfire. But every time she performed an autopsy late at night, he was the one waiting outside the morgue for her to finish. And whenever a pursuit turned dangerous, he was always the first to turn back and shield her as she retreated. A series of disappearances shattered the peace, and every lead pointed to an old case that had long since been ruled an “accident.” It was the only case Wen Nianci had ever misjudged, and the nightmare she could never escape. Just as she tried to cut open the truth again with her scalpel, Qi Hemian revealed his hand to her for the first time. “Wen Nianci, what if I told you I came to your side for the sake of this case?”
