The original story had reached its conclusion, and Lin Yan and Song Yuhang finally found happiness together.

But no one knew that behind this bright and happy ending lay eighteen years of hidden turmoil.

Over eighteen years, crime never stopped, and the belief represented by the dark blue uniform never faded.

Lin Yan became a top forensic pathologist in her field, while Captain Song Yuhang remained on the front lines of criminal investigation.

Even after getting married, neither ever put down her armor or left her post. They stood side by side year after year, using a scalpel to cut through illusion and the sharp blade of criminal investigation to defend justice.

Deputy Captain Jun Heng, who had narrowly survived a major case years ago, spent years lying low with old wounds covering her body. Her obsession never died, and she was determined to dig into a long-unsolved case.

She entered the game alone, risking danger at every turn, and tore open the deeply entrenched web of power that had dominated Binhai for years.

In the desperate pursuit of a killer, she met Fang Zhixing, a brilliant police detective who was aloof, obsessive, and severely germophobic.

At first, they clashed and kept each other in check. But when life and death hung in the balance, they became each other’s refuge, saving one another amid darkness and mire.

Old friends reunited, and everyone came together again. Lin Yan and Song Yuhang joined the two women once more, wielding their expertise as a blade as they braved the long night and pierced through the fog.

Their junior colleague Jun Wanyue and Lin family heiress Lin Jinyue were unexpectedly caught up in the turmoil, bringing to light old family grudges buried for half a lifetime.

Love collided with opposing loyalties, leaving them caught between deep affection and impossible choices.

Even when plunged into an unfathomable abyss and forced through storms and mud,

“Do you know what the hardest thing in life is?”

“Not meeting, but reuniting after a long separation.”
