In 1999, an eight-year-old boy silently witnessed a murder. Police officer Lin Jianguo believed him, but was suspended from duty and died mysteriously five years later. Silence "disappeared" from then on - living in the dark with a false identity, going to Lin Jianguo's tomb every Qingming Festival, watching from a distance as his son Lin Shen came to pay homage.
When Lin Shen grew up, he became a criminal police officer and has been looking for the witness. He didn't know that in the past twenty years, silence had never left his sight - those anonymous clues and those just-right "accidents" were all living for him in the dark.
In 2024, all those involved died. Silence sent a text message: "Your father did nothing wrong."
Lin Shen called back like he was crazy - the number was empty.
Born in the same year, one is light and the other is dark, they are mirror images of each other and never intersect.

Protagonist
Lin Shen (criminal police officer, 40 years old)
People who live in the sun. In 1999, when he was fourteen years old, his father Lin Jianguo was suspended due to an unsolved case and died mysteriously five years later. He became a criminal police officer and spent twenty years investigating the truth and looking for the witness named "Silence". He didn't know that that person had been watching him from the dark.
Silence (unemployed, 40 years old)
People who live in the shadows. In 1999, when he was eight years old, he was the only witness to the murder. Lin Jianguo is the only one who believes in him. After the policeman died, he erased himself and lived in the cracks of the world using seven false identities. He spent twenty years to finish what the policeman had not finished.
They were two people born in the same year.
One is looking and the other is hiding.
One is in the light and the other is in the dark.
