I killed myself.
My adoptive father tied a rope around my neck and said, “Even dead, you're still my dog.”
A criminal investigator chased me back from hell, never knowing that the girl he loved had already been replaced by me.
I was abducted for twelve years. As I lay dying, I had only one thought: sooner or later, I would escape.
When I opened my eyes again, I had become Chi Zhao, the goddess of the Academy of Forensic Sciences and the woman he'd loved from afar for six years.
For two months, he watched me in the library before unfolding a yellowed portrait. “Do you know her?”
It was my face before I died. Gaunt, with no light in my eyes.
He doesn't know that I was the homeless girl his father rescued all those years ago.
The childhood friend he loved has had her body taken over by me.
The murderer he's been hunting for six years is still on the run.
And the person he's really looking for is right under his nose every day, pretending not to know him.
My adoptive father is on the run, and the investigator is hunting him. They're both looking for me.
My name is Chizao. Sooner or later, I'll make that debt be paid in blood.
Style: A dual investigation-and-romance plot, realistic criminal investigation, a fated redemption, and a slow-burn, healing romance. High emotional intensity and a strong plot, with no artificial sugary romance.
