Name: Under the Sun
Author: Fog Harbor

Synopsis

Everyone says Chen Zheng is a good man. He defends bullied students for free, looks after lonely elderly people without fail for six years, and donated all his savings to legal aid. Poor, restrained, and gentle, he is the city's universally acclaimed "saint lawyer."

Shen Yao is a police officer, and his girlfriend. She once suspected him, but every lead she followed pointed to good deeds. She let down her guard completely and fell for the special affection he showed her.

Until she opened the old notebook in his desk drawer.

It was filled with names. Beside every person he had saved was a cross. She thought they were marks for cases he had closed, but then she was horrified to discover that every disaster those victims suffered had been a scheme he had secretly set in motion. He played savior by creating hell, his hands soaked in blood even as people revered him.

Only on the last page of the notebook was her name. Circled. No cross.

Shen Yao took the evidence to confront him. He did not panic or make excuses, only smiled at her gently. "I've saved so many people. Isn't that enough?"

He didn't need her to believe he was a bad person. He only needed her to believe that he had once been a good person.
