Black Winter [Crime]

[Main story complete]

A tough, charming small-town lawyer who can be sweet or salty x a flamboyant, sharp-tongued, mysterious and endlessly changeable young man

Blurb 1:

Her newlywed husband vanishes, and her best friend drowns while searching for him.

Cai Tong heads north, determined to uncover the truth behind her friend's death. But she soon finds herself being watched, and her life hangs by a thread.

She is threatened with kidnapping, the inn she's renting is deliberately set on fire, she gets trapped in an underground casino, fights for her life at a dogfighting ring, and is framed and nearly sent to prison...

As her difficult investigation progresses, the truth slowly comes to light.

Kidnappers, witnesses, scavengers, victims, victims' families, and even police officers...

Countless lives are changed forever.

Countless people pay for it with their lives.

And it all stems from a human trafficking case thirty years ago.

Blurb 2:

Cai Tong knows she's being watched, and the people tailing her are a group of amateur rivals.

Among them, she immediately singles out Han Dong.

With a face that could leave anyone spellbound, he's impossible to ignore. But Cai Tong has another important reason for choosing him.

Han Dong may seem like an ordinary wage earner, but he holds a high position among this group.

The underlings all listen to him, and even the boss treats him like a brother.

For Cai Tong, who's just arrived and doesn't know the place or its people, that's ideal.

Guided by the principle of uniting with every force she can, Cai Tong decides to start with Han Dong and try to win him over with every means at her disposal.

Her plan goes smoothly, but she doesn't realize that Han Dong is also gradually winning her over.

The difference is that Cai Tong is trying to recruit Han Dong to help her investigate, while Han Dong is trying to make her his woman.
