Since becoming a criminal prosecutor, Lu Ming had never before been assigned to get involved in a major case ahead of time.
The massive 3/17 murder case: at the Wuyiao Club in Lingang City, six men had all been killed with a single slash to the throat.
The victims were powerful, influential, or from wealthy families, and all had connections to the entertainment industry.
No extra footprints or fingerprints had been left at the scene.
There was only one surviving celebrity. When she was found, she was holding the dinner knife used as the murder weapon and cutting into the steak in front of her.
Lu Ming froze on the spot. It was his first love, Bai Xiting.

Ten years ago, Bai Xiting was the famous campus beauty of Lingang University, and Lu Ming was her most persistent admirer.
They gradually met, got to know each other, and fell in love... but after Lu Ming confessed, he learned she was about to study abroad. He had been nothing more than a little diversion in her life, where thousands fawned over her.
After she left, Professor Pu, the most popular and knowledgeable man on campus, known for his refined manner, disappeared as well.
Rumor had it that the two had gone off together and found their happy ending.
But after 3/17, news suddenly broke online: Professor Pu's younger brother had reported him missing. For ten years, there had been no sign of him, alive or dead.
Bai Xiting, suspected of killing the six men at the party, might also have been the one who killed Professor Pu.
In no time, Bai Xiting was branded the century's most infamous man-eater, and calls for her execution grew louder and louder.
