An Endless Winter

The north has four distinct seasons, and winter is cold and dry, smothering all signs of life. The truth lies asleep beneath the ice of winter. Only by breaking through the surface with a sharp axe can one glimpse the water demon’s hidden fangs. To outsiders, Lin Yiluo and Fu Heng are a loving, perfectly matched couple. Fu Heng is young and successful, while Lin Yiluo is beautiful and devoted. They are always seen together, envied by everyone in their upscale residential complex. But on Fu Heng’s birthday, he vanishes without a trace. Lin Yiluo waits anxiously all night, only to receive a call from the police the next day: they have found Fu Heng, dead in the trunk of an unfamiliar car. Detective Peng Ming and rookie police officer Lu Yang take charge of the case. Everyone Fu Heng saw before his death gradually comes into view, while his wife Lin Yiluo has the most airtight alibi. As Peng Ming pieces together the clues, he discovers that secrets lurk behind the couple’s seemingly perfect marriage. Lin Yiluo is not as fragile as she appears, and the residential complex’s security guard, neighbors, and nearby supermarket manager all have different stories about Fu Heng’s death. The secrets of Fu Heng’s life are laid bare only after his death...
