Twin redemption of two male protagonists
Under the shadow of the neon-lit modern city, a series of serial murders with a strong sense of ritual broke the superficial calm. The victims were displayed in an extremely weird way, and the scene was decorated to perfectly replicate the cruel plots in classic fairy tales, like a grand performance with blood. Public opinion was in an uproar, panic spread, and pressure on the police increased sharply.
Ling Yao, a young and top criminal psychology expert, has a distinguished background but is as cold as ice. He believes in logic and rationality and can accurately dissect the most twisted criminal minds, but has difficulty touching the real emotional world. Bai Ye, a best-selling fairy tale writer, is warm and emotional, possessing strong empathy and imagination. The stories he writes have healed countless people, but he does not know that his works have become the inspiration blueprint for a murderer.
A murder case that is highly similar to the fairy tale "The Misty Forest" forcibly tied up two people who should have had nothing to do with each other. Ling Yao was ordered to intervene in the investigation, tearing apart the fog with his cold and almost ruthless professional attitude; Bai Ye was involved in the vortex due to the connection with the work, and provided an alternative perspective with his insight into the story and the subtleties of human nature.
The first encounter is the collision of ice and fire. Ling Yao's rational profile and Bai Ye's emotional interpretation are in direct opposition. They don't understand each other but can't ignore the light in each other's eyes. They were forced to join hands, and under the guidance of the complicated and confusing case, they went deep into the world woven by madness and obsession.
However, there seems to be a deeper shadow hidden behind the case. Behind imitation crimes, is there a "leader" who better understands the nature of crime? Under Ling Yao's seemingly perfect logical deduction, is there a family secret that he doesn't want to say?
