Professional Wife Hunter

New story now open: The Other Shore. Synopsis at the end.

Recently, violent crimes have been on the rise, and the police have launched a series of swift arrest operations.

Yet every time, the suspect slips through their fingers at the crucial moment.

Like a ghost, the killer always manages to escape, no matter how thoroughly the police lay their nets.

Just as the police are at a loss, someone suddenly realizes that there seems to be...a secret connection between the killer and the criminal investigation captain leading the operation.

The interrogation room is dimly lit.

Lin Zhiqing forced herself to stay calm. "Long time no see."

The woman sitting opposite her had clear eyes and a carefree smile. "Captain Lin really does forget things easily. Didn't we just see each other last night?"

Lin Zhiqing's gaze involuntarily fell on her lips.

The wound there had just scabbed over, still faintly red.

Against her will, she remembered what had happened the night before

In a shadowy alley, two slender figures pressed against the wall, breathing hard, the air thick with heat.

Maybe she'd caught the scent that belonged only to that one person, or maybe she'd lost her mind. Lin Zhiqing lowered her handcuffs and kissed her.

She only came to her senses when she heard that captivating voice beside her ear.

"Lin Zhiqing, can you tell the difference between a kiss and CPR now?"

[New Story Now Open: The Other Shore]

Criminal investigation / love-hate relationship / second chance

After graduating from high school, Xia Xun planned a cruise, hoping to make an unforgettable, hedonistic memory with her girlfriend. But murder, kidnapping, explosions, and a sinking ship followed one after another. The trip became a farewell forever, and her first love became a dead, unattainable sweetheart.

From then on, Xia Xun fell into a slump and became a private detective who was barely human.

Getting beaten up while investigating cases was just another day at work. A broken leg or a stab wound was no big deal. Nearly dying was fine as long as she survived. It was as if Xia Xun's life had ended the moment she watched the explosion and the shipwreck.

Then, twelve years later, she helped the police with an investigation.

She met the newly appointed criminal investigation captain.

The time that had stood still finally seemed to start moving again.

-

Xu Jinyao had loved Xia Xun since childhood, and she loved her until the day she died.

They were neighbors, classmates, friends, and lovers.

After the college entrance exams, with her belated teenage rebellion finally catching up with her, she boarded the cruise ship named The Other Shore. She never imagined what awaited her would be utter ruin.

The day Xia Xun untied the ropes and escaped alone, Xu Jinyao plunged into the deep sea amid the explosion.

Years later, they met again.

She was a criminal investigation captain who had solved one major case after another, a secret mole placed in the police force by a criminal organization, Xu Jinyao, whose first life had ended aboard The Other Shore and whose second life was devoted to revenge and starting anew.

She wanted Xia Xun to pay for what happened back then, to kneel before her and beg forgiveness through tears. She wanted Xia Xun to experience what it meant to wish for death. She wanted to push her into hell when she was happiest.

She wanted Xia Xun to suffer as much as she had.

But strangely enough,

when she watched Xia Xun take a knife for her, willingly become a hostage, and risk her life to keep her safe, she still felt her heart ache.
