She Died Eight Years Ago

[Crime Investigation] [Criminal Psychology] [Case-by-Case] [Older Man/Younger Woman] [Redemption]

[Born Evil with a Long Criminal Record] x [Tough-Talking, Soft-Hearted Deputy Captain]

Born evil, she refuses to go quietly to her death.

This is a story about someone in a lovely state of mind, but with cases that are downright bizarre.

Eight years ago, Sang Yu killed three people. Eight years later, she gets out of prison only to discover that, in that nightmare, the person who truly deserved to die is still alive.

Yanzhou City is shrouded in suspicion: body parts tattooed with red spider lilies, teenagers dying by suicide one after another, a convalescent home where patients volunteer their organs... Tracing these cases to their source, they all point to one question:

Who was the person who deserved to die eight years ago?

The heroine:

In the eyes of the world, Sang Yu is hardly a good person.

Eight years ago, at fourteen, she killed three people. Her knife fell swiftly, her methods were ruthless, and she could easily score an A++ on a danger assessment.

She was practically born evil.

Eight years later, a dismemberment case brings her back into the police's sights.

All the evidence points to her, yet she has a perfect alibi. Tauntingly, she says, "If I were the killer, the next victim would appear very soon."

Only Sang Yu knows that her brief life so far is full of secrets.

One of them is that she may not be the only monster who survived eight years ago.

So,

To send the person who deserves to die on their way as soon as possible, Sang Yu repeatedly puts herself in mortal danger.

The hero:

Everyone thinks Shen Sijian is a fair, level-headed, even somewhat "saintly" boss.

But only Shen Sijian knows that he is just an ordinary man.

He wants a promotion. He wants to earn merit. He wants to get rid of the word "deputy" and prove to everyone that he isn't some spoiled rich kid planted in the bureau.

Then one day, he meets Sang Yu.

The girl who lights up at the sight of blood smiles at him and asks, "Want me to help you find the killer?"

Her casual question, "You can't honestly say you don't want to be captain, can you?" cuts through every one of his disguises like a sharp blade.

For the first time, someone lays the ambition he has hidden deepest bare in the sunlight.

But no one knows that, in this world, some people live to help others drive away the darkness.

It takes Shen Sijian a long time to realize that what is harder to capture than the mastermind is the woman fate has placed right in front of him.
