Captain Lu, Your Wife Is Simulating Her Death Again

Shen Mian has a secret: by touching a dead person's belongings, she can forcibly project herself into the 30 minutes the victim feared most before being murdered.

But this ability comes at the cost of her life force. Each time she relives those moments, her body temperature plummets and her heart begins to fail, bringing her to the brink of death.

When she first joins the Jiangbin City Criminal Investigation Brigade, the roguishly handsome, sharp-tongued captain Lu Xiao sneers, “The police force doesn’t need a pretty face who got in through connections. If you can’t take the hardship, get out now.”

Shen Mian remains cool and composed. Time and again, she uses her chilling, uncanny “pre-death simulations” to expose the real culprits behind a rental-apartment murder and a body hidden in a crock of pickled cabbage.

Later, at a cold, damp crime scene, Shen Mian collapses in a corner, her body icy and her breathing faint after overusing her ability.

The fearless Captain Lu, who has never been afraid of anything, turns red-eyed and clutches her desperately, trying to warm her with his own body heat.

“Shen Mian, hold on to me! Please... don’t leave me alone.”

The woman in his arms slowly opens her eyes and weakly squeezes his warm hand.

“Captain Lu, your heart rate is through the roof. It’s too loud for me to think.”

He was once the light that pulled her out of the abyss. Now, as she walks the line between life and death, he is her one and only anchor of safety.
