Embers: He Loves Me to the Bone

Forensic pathologist Jiang Hongjin finds photos of her father’s gruesome murder in her fiancé Shen Zhuohua’s safe. Young Shen Zhuohua is standing beside the pool of blood, a smile on his lips.

She personally sent him to prison, believing she had avenged her father. Three years later, he gets out and pins her against the refrigerated cabinet in the autopsy room. “The ‘truth’ you uncovered was only what I wanted you to find.”

The real mastermind has been sitting at her family’s dinner table all along.

He hates her to the bone, yet he hates himself so much for it that even one tear from her makes him want to kill himself from the pain.

He wipes away her tears and says softly, “Jiang Hongjin, even when the embers die, their warmth remains. You are my lingering warmth.”
