Ling Jiamin is the toughest tomboy in law enforcement: rugged features, an athletic build, and more masculine than any man. She excels at martial arts, marksmanship, and driving. With a will of steel, she's a walking law-enforcement machine. She's also a brilliant profiler; not even the slightest curve of your lips escapes her notice. Add her rigid, rule-abiding personality, and she's the bane of every criminal's existence. Her one weakness is ghosts. She can't even watch a horror movie.
Ling Xingyi is her polar opposite. Vain, flamboyant, and ambitious, she has been pursued by men and ostracized by women because of her looks since childhood. Her mother, a famous fish-ball seller on North Point Street, raised her alone after a lout got her pregnant, and her hair turned white from years of hardship in a subdivided flat. Ling Xingyi hates that cramped little room and the apron washed pale with age. Her greatest dream is to marry into a wealthy family and never return to Sham Shui Po.
Two personalities collide, shatter, and reshape themselves within the same body, forging a third soul: Ling Jiamin's cool professionalism combined with Ling Xingyi's bold, untamed nature. A woman who can see through people's hearts, but no longer lives only to solve cases.
But now she's trapped in this stunning beauty's body. She's ridiculously frail, and she can see ghosts. Even Ling Jiamin, with her will of steel, can't help cursing her rotten luck.
A ghost nearly scares her to death, while the murderer who killed it approaches with a glass of spiked champagne and a gentle smile.
She badly wants to punch him into the next county. She looks down at her own wrists, so fragile they might snap with one bend. She can barely even hold a glass.
Everyone always wants to protect her. But she has never thought of herself as a woman. She just wants to charge into the fray and send every criminal straight to hell. When yet another man steps in front of her and says, "Don't be scared. I'll handle it," she wants to swear at him: Get lost. Don't get in your dad's way while he's investigating.
That face is so beautiful you want to stomp on it. But everyone who tries ends up in hell.
Multiple romantic storylines. A realistic world, not a fairy tale.
Theme: A story about using the gift of seeing ghosts to uphold justice through science.
