When he was thirteen years old, Cheng Lei's world collapsed when his mother died unexpectedly, and silence became the hard shell that enveloped his heart. Malice of fate followed one after another. In the midsummer of his second year of high school, his father, who accompanied him to run a supermarket next to a key high school in the city, was brutally silenced after he saw a perverted murderer committing an attack. The case eventually became an unsolved case.
In order to give his father an explanation, the formerly silent boy entered the police academy with excellent results and vowed to uncover the truth with his own hands. On the first day of reporting, he met Li Yu, who was born into a police family - this outgoing and lively girl with shining eyes was like a crack, allowing sunlight to shine into his closed heart.
After graduation, they joined the same criminal police team side by side.
Just as the two were preparing for their wedding and looking forward to the future, a sudden kidnapping broke all the good things. Facing the gangster's gun, Li Yu stood in front of Cheng Lei without hesitation. The fatal shot stopped her forever one week before receiving the certificate. What made Cheng Lei even more devastated was that he found out after the funeral that Li Yu was already pregnant with their child, but he didn't have time to tell her.
In the following years, Cheng Lei lived alone. During every festival, he would sit in front of Li Yu's tomb and talk about the daily life that no one shared. Until the age of thirty-eight, he died heroically in a mission, and finally reunited with Li Yu at the Martyrs Cemetery. This love that was repeatedly tempered by fate but always passionate finally completed its final stay together in the eternal silence.
Concept: The novel is based on an unsolved case, intertwined with the passion and danger of a criminal police career, and also depicts a deep love that sprouts in suffering and is frozen in sacrifice. The tension of suspense and the temperature of love collide with each other, writing a "time gone by" about obsession, protection and farewell.
