Senior Inspector Lin Wei is investigating a serial murder case. On a rainy night, he accidentally enters a private gallery and meets the gentle and intellectual gallery owner Shen Yan. The two fell deeply in love amidst the tug-of-war and ambiguous testing of the case, but beneath the gentle surface, Shen was actually the mastermind behind a transnational criminal group.
Legal beliefs and deep-seated love collided head-on. While investigating serial murders and dismantling the Black Sea criminal network, Lin Wei was deeply involved in the game of love and death with Shen Yan. Shen Yan is trapped by old grudges and fighting within the group. He is not an omniscient and omnipotent chess player, and he is also struggling between love and fate.
From the ambiguity in the gallery and the collapse of the truth, to the imprisonment on the island, secret counterattack, to the court trial and separation under the high wall, the plot combines the layered sense of criminal investigation reasoning with the tension of sweetness and sadism. The cufflink mystery, timeline loopholes, and hidden plots are intertwined, revealing the sinister secrets of underground auctions and the old Black Sea network.
In the end, Lin Wei abided by his belief in police uniform and personally brought Shen Yan to trial, adhering to the bottom line of the law, but was trapped in that darkest encounter for the rest of his life. The ultimate BE tone, love cannot stay together, abiding by the law loses tenderness, and the remaining warmth will last for the rest of your life.
Purpose: When the one you love is in the abyss of sin, adhering to the original intention of the law is both justice and a lifelong regret; love cannot withstand the punishment of crime, faith will eventually win over personal love, and after the darkest time, only the unsolvable warmth and obsession remain.
