Red Dance Shoes >>>
Dancer Ji Zhao never imagined her screen debut would be on a legal affairs program.
As a memorial photo, in the role of a murder victim.
A few days ago, she was killed by her boyfriend, driven mad with jealousy.
"I love you."
After saying that, her boyfriend raised a knife against her.
Until the day she died, Ji Zhao believed her boyfriend's murderous intent came from deep love.
It wasn't until he picked out a new target, and her red dance shoes were locked away in a cabinet with those of his former victims, that she understood:
To him, "love" meant control, and "you" meant all of you. Only "I" was sincere.
When he said, "I love you," he was declaring, "I control you all."
Blue Ink >>
Reporter Wu An never imagined that the first story she would cover would be news of her childhood friend's death.
She mourned her as both an old friend and a chronicler.
But mourning wasn't enough.
Her childhood friend's photos were everywhere, and the online comments were vile.
All because she was young, beautiful, a woman, and dead.
The dead can't speak, defend themselves, or identify their killer.
Wu An resolved to set aside any concerns about a conflict of interest and investigate thoroughly.
On the first night she let ink flow in place of tears, she, who didn't believe in ghosts, dreamed of Ji Zhao, long dead:
In the dream, it was Ji Zhao's first day after transferring to town. She wore a white dress and a ponytail, and ran so fast that osmanthus petals clung to her temples. She was lively and full of life.
No one could have guessed that she had already run through half of her short life.
* Two female leads
* Ji Zhao is dead and won't come back to life.
* Mystery and detective elements are minor. This is mainly a story about two girls from a small town who stuck together as children, went their separate ways as teenagers, then reunited years later, one a ghost and the other alive, and helped each other heal.
