Chu Yu: B-Bro, don't hit me in the face. I swear to the organization, I've never had a single lover.

Li Jingshang: ?

Chu Yu: Reporting in! Except for you!

[The serious blurb]

When the Cold Case Investigation Unit was established, everyone watched from the sidelines with cold eyes, until the personnel list was announced

No one understood why Li Jingshang, the promising leader of the major crimes unit, would join the CCHU.

Even less did they understand why the usually meticulous and disciplined Li Jingshang would agree to take a police force outlier who never followed the rules as his deputy.

Only Li Jingshang knew what he wanted. He didn't care about his supposedly bright future, or whether his deputy was incompetent or had a clean background. He wanted the authority to investigate unsolved cases across the country that were more than five years old.

He wanted to uncover the truth behind a sealed case that had weighed on his heart for ten years.

Everyone thought Chu Yu had joined the CCHU because the director was tired of cleaning up the messes he made and had handed him over to Li Jingshang, the most impartial man in the force, to "straighten him out."

After all, Chu Yu was known as the worst performer in the unit and was privately called a "rich young master" by everyone around him.

The disciplinary actions and scandals attached to his name only made people more guarded about his background.

The widespread gossip made Chu Yu famous, turning him into a walking open book with no privacy or secrets. But no one had ever actually seen his file, not even Li Jingshang.

Only Chu Yu knew that none of those labels described him.

He never explained. He would rather let people think he was a rich young master spoiled by his parents.

But the endless darkness he saw when he looked back, smeared with blood, told him cruelly that he had never had a choice in life.

Long, long afterward, when everything finally came to light, someone asked Chu Yu what had kept him alive.

Chu Yu remembered the dawn that broke through the clouds that summer, and the lingering warmth of the sunset that had filled the sky.

-He was more unfortunate than others because, at an age when he should have been carefree, all he saw was bloodshed and slaughter.

-But he was also more fortunate than others, because in the darkness he had once seen the sunrise and held warmth in his hands.
