The Crime Hunter in His Palm: Good Night, Mr. Lu
Synopsis:
He is Lu Yanzhou, the powerful ruler of the Lu business empire, a man of noble bearing and cold ruthlessness who treats love as a bargaining chip. She is Shen Nian, his chief secretary, who has been lying low at his side. Gentle and obedient, she seems to everyone like a fallen heiress about to fail in her bid to become his lover.
Everyone thinks Shen Nian is Lu Yanzhou’s pet canary, but no one knows that every night she weaves an inescapable web in encrypted files. The humiliation of her family’s bankruptcy five years ago and the bloodstains left by her father’s leap from a building are the sharpest blades at her bedside. She plans every move, using tenderness as a trap and affection as poison, all to drag this arrogant emperor into hell.
But just as her revenge plan is about to close in, Lu Yanzhou grabs her chin on a stormy night, his eyes bloodshot. “Shen Nian, hunters often appear in the guise of prey. You think you’re taking revenge, but are you really playing the home game?” It turns out he saw through her disguise long ago, indulged her tests, and even paved a blood-soaked path to the throne for her with his own hands.
As business schemes collapse and family secrets come to light, the two fight for their lives in a whirlpool of self-interest and sincerity. What she thinks is his “departure” is, in truth, his quiet “protection”; what she takes for “sorrow” is the “plan” he laid to keep her safe. When the truth tears away their disguises, will they part, torn between love and hate, or find redemption and reconcile?
