He gave him love in exchange for his life.
Silence is cold, silence is lonely silence, cold is cold cold. In his thirty-three years of life, he never looked forward to tomorrow—until he met Gu Zhao.
Gu Zhao, Gu Nian's Gu, Zhao Ran's Zhao. He is the rumored killer who never makes mistakes, and he is also the only clue that Shen Jinghan traces when investigating the case. The old lady's son died, and only a note was left at the scene, which said "equivalent exchange". No one could find out, only Shen Jinghan found this person.
When they met for the first time, Gu Zhao stood behind the door, as if he had been waiting for him for a long time.
"Coming?"
It's not a question, it's a statement. It seems to be saying: I know you will come, I have been waiting for a long time.
Shen Jinghan should have left after investigating the case. But he didn't. He went a second time, a third time, a fourth time... Until he found he could never leave that room. Gu Zhao was like a beam of light shining into his frozen world, letting him know for the first time what love is, what heartbeat is, and what life is.
But Gu Zhao always looked at him with guilt in his eyes.
"I'm close to you for a reason." Gu Zhao said. But Shen Jihan didn't ask - because he knew that no matter what the reason was, he loved him.
However, the truth is - Gu Zhao is bound to a system called "Equivalent Exchange". His mission is to take away Shen Yanhan's life at the cost of "giving love". Every bit of warmth he gave was paving the way for the final fatal blow.
But what he didn't expect was that in the process of giving love, he himself would fall into it.
