Sinking Boat, Delayed Crossing; Wentang Falls Silent

Three years after I disappeared, my husband, Lu Chenzhou, became the youngest celebrity forensic pathologist in the country.

During a public lecture, he explained the case of an unidentified female corpse to three million viewers.

The camera panned over the bones of the left wrist, and he spoke calmly.

"The deceased's left wrist shows repeated injuries. Given the way the old wounds healed, a long-term tendency toward self-harm cannot be ruled out."

The comments flooded in at once.

[She obviously had psychological problems.]

[Was it another relationship dispute?]

I floated beside the autopsy table, looking down at that stark white wrist bone.
