After Getting Involved with the Miss from a Wealthy Hong Kong Family Who Craves Skinship

A succession struggle within a shipping magnate's family became entangled with a string of murders, igniting a midsummer in Hong Kong.

When Lin Simiao met Xie Ning in a dark alley, the woman was frowning, blood soaking half her dress and making her already stunning face look even more bewitching.

"What are you standing there for?" she said, trembling all over with pain. "Save me, or die."

Lin Simiao held down the barrel of her gun, her voice gentle. "Sis, this kind of danger doesn't suit you."

The first assignment Lin Simiao received during her internship was to go undercover beside the shipping magnate's eldest daughter and become her secret lover.

The shadow of a string of murders hung over Xie Ning, and her skin hunger had become unbearable.

Lin Simiao had to stay by her side every moment, holding her and letting her bite into her neck.

"Miss, are you sure you're not a vampire?"

Between the sheets, Lin Simiao looked at her red-rimmed eyes, hazy with tears, and couldn't help entertaining a thought she shouldn't have.

"When will we finally be able to step into the light?"

After the eldest daughter's detective game ended, a feature report written by Lin Simiao appeared in the papers, announcing that the shipping magnate family's bloody tale of familial love had come to an end.

Xie Ning, the little-known thirteenth heir, took control and became a new legend.

Having completed her mission, Lin Simiao disappeared overnight without a trace.

The crazed heiress shut down the coastline and put out word that even if Lin Simiao were torn into pieces, she would have to die by her side.

"Wow, that's terrifying, Lin. You used to be that reckless?"

"Yeah. How else would I have won a Pulitzer Prize for investigative reporting?"

While they chatted, Lin Simiao casually glanced back and saw a familiar figure at the street corner. Her blood ran cold.

"Excuse me. It looks like someone's here to see me."

A tall, beautiful woman stood on the corner, smiling brightly at her.

"Long time no see, my detective."

"Or should I call you my dear reporter?"
