"Cross me with your eyes"
The blue-gray river fog is the barrier between Shendu and the world.
As the most silent corpse fisherman on the riverside, her oars cut through the moonlight of countless cold nights. Half of the calluses on her fingertips come from the sharpening of boat cables, and half hide the residual warmth of opera fingering. The truth about her senior sister's drowning many years ago was like the mud at the bottom of the river, tightly wrapped around her ankles. The fragment of the dark red costume with special stitches became a nightmare that she dared not touch. She stayed at the dock, salvaging the dead, and also salvaging her own soul drowning in guilt.
Lin Yan's fingertips always had the coolness of the prosthetic eye paint. In order to find her sister who had been missing for many years, she gave up her glamorous design career and became a prosthetic eye restorer. Every pair of carefully crafted prosthetic eyes hides her obsession - her sister was once the prosthetic eye props master of a theater troupe, and the only clue is a hosta engraved with winter plum blossoms. She searches for the truth in the eye sockets of the deceased, and uses gentleness and piety to leave the last dignity to everyone who leaves.
On a pier filled with river fog, a body with fragments of costume suddenly met two people carrying the past. Shen Du's coldness and alienation, Lin Yan's persistence and gentleness, are like the collision between the river and the bank. At first, they were testing and guarding, but later, during the side-by-side investigations, a tacit bond was born.
Following the clues of Han Mei Jade Hosta, they cleared up the fog of the troupe's old cases, encountered inexplicable obstacles, and also experienced the test of life and death. In Lin Yan's eyes, Shen Du saw the light dispersing the river fog; in Shen Du's protection, Lin Yan felt the warmth across the cold river. The truth is hidden in the broken shadows of the play, and the evidence is buried deep in the prosthetic eyes. Their feelings for each other become clearer as they cross the water to look for eyes again and again.
When the mastermind behind the scenes surfaced, and when his missing sister reappeared, Shen Du finally let go of his guilt and resumed drama; Lin Yan also found his relatives and stuck to his original intention. The lights at Jiangye Pier are still there, but from now on, the cold-blooded corpse collectors
Purpose: Standing on the edge of life and death, guarding the power of warmth in silence
