The neon lights of the bustling city are flashing, and under the night, evil is quietly dormant. Jiang Yan, a criminal police officer from the serious crime team, is burdened with the hidden pain of an old case and always sticks to the front line of chasing the murderer, acting as a retrograde light bearer in the dark night. Serial murders break out one after another, the clues are fragmented and confusing, and the murderer hides in the sea of people, constantly challenging order and the bottom line. Jiang Yan endured heavy pressure, shuttled between the crime scene and the streets, peeling off the dark side of human nature, and pursuing the truth in dangerous situations.
Forensic doctor Yue Xin, calm, transparent and thoughtful, is an indispensable sharp knife in the investigation of cases. She has been with corpses and evidence all year round, using professional anatomy techniques to restore the details of the case, providing key support for Jiang Yan's investigation. The two frequently intersect due to unsolved cases. One faces the murderer and plays with people's hearts, while the other unravels lies among the corpses. A tacit understanding quietly develops as they work side by side again and again.
On the road to handling the case, there were many dangers, and Jiang Yan was put in danger of life and death several times. Yue Xin relied on her accurate judgment to avoid risks for him; in the face of public opinion and internal doubts, the two supported each other and healed the scars of the past. They have seen the ugliest appearance of human nature, experienced the torment of life and death, and understood each other's persistence and tenderness through getting along day and night.
Jiang Yan knows very well that the mission of the police is to block the darkness from the lights of thousands of families. He holds up the glimmer of justice, while Yue Xin uses her professionalism as a shield. The two work together to clear away the layers of fog and uncover the real culprit behind the scenes. There is no vigorous romance between them, only a two-way rush hidden under the police badge, helping each other in the world of fireworks, protecting the peace of the city with blood and perseverance, and waiting for the dawn to break.
