Love and Death

Some evil never grows in darkness, but hides in the gentle, ordinary rhythms of everyday life. Detective Lu Zheng stands by the law and his conscience, yet a perfect murder case lands him behind bars, where he endures three years of wrongful imprisonment. Su Wan, the fragile housewife everyone pities, is the mastermind behind the deception. Using gentleness as a mask, she expertly manipulates people and sways public opinion, burying the truth and justice beneath layer upon layer of lies. After three years of confrontation, the game reaches a stalemate. Just as Lu Zheng struggles to uncover the truth and becomes consumed by his obsession, the killer suddenly turns herself in and confesses. The dust settles, and justice arrives at last. Yet the depths of evil and the hidden bonds between them leave behind the coldest answer to the mysteries of love and death, and of human nature.
