Snowless Harbor City: The Return of My Ex

Four years later, when we meet again, she’s my direct superior.

Wen Ye receives an urgent recall. There are artificial snowflakes at the scene of a string of murders in Hong Kong. She thinks she’s just there to investigate, never imagining that the head of the task force will be Chi Yan, the police superintendent who dumped her all those years ago.
