Venus on a Rainy Night

In 2001, a museum in Linhai City reports a late-night emergency.

A damaged statue of Venus stands quietly in place. When its plaster cracks open, a young woman's corpse is found sealed inside.

The victim's arms have been severed, and blood streams from her eyes. The scene is identical to the old case from eleven years ago, the Rainy Night Venus murders.

In 1990, detective Tang Yuliang paid a terrible price to solve the serial murder case, only to get a resolution that was half true and half false. Eleven years later, the old case resurfaces, and his son, Tang Xihua, is dragged into it.

A woman sealed inside a statue.

An artist missing for many years.

A name that should have died long ago, yet keeps appearing.

A teahouse hiding secrets.

Su Rui, the girl rescued on that rainy night, seems to hold the whole truth deep in her memories.

As the investigation goes deeper, Tang Xihua realizes that the supposed killer may be nothing more than a scapegoat, and the supposed conclusion to the old case is merely a lie woven from power, art, desire, and blood ties.

Eleven years ago, the truth was buried in plaster.

Eleven years later, Venus opens her eyes again.

This time, he will tear open Linhai's darkest old case with his own hands.

The dead, the missing, and the silent seem to have been carefully arranged by an unseen hand, quietly waiting for her to walk in.

Rainy nights, statues, paintings, basements, abandoned warehouses.

Every clue points to the same name.

But what is truly terrifying is not how many people the killer has murdered,

but why he turns them into “perfect works of art.”

When the veteran detective suddenly dies and memories begin to unravel, when blood from ten years ago seeps back to the surface,

they finally realize:

The hunt known as the Rainy Night Venus was never over.
