A Sharp Edge Emerges From The Mist

Read

In the international metropolis of “Twin Cities,” where glamour and shadows coexist, two women at the peak of their respective fields find their lives fatally intertwined by a bizarre case.

Shen Qingwu, the youngest leader of a financial empire, hides a gray intelligence network beneath her elegant, icy exterior, built solely to investigate her parents’ cold case. Lin Jianfeng, a star detective captain and the pride of the police force, treats the law as her faith and the truth as her blade, relentlessly pursuing every lead.

A journalist’s murder disguised as a suicide binds the two together, forcing a collision between the investigator and the investigated. From intellectual clashes in the interrogation room to a dangerous alliance on a rooftop, and from subtle emotions flowing through encrypted channels to the instinctive protection of one another in life-or-death moments, they are each other’s most formidable opponents. Yet, they gradually become the only confidants capable of seeing through to the other’s lonely core.

However, the truth is far crueler than imagined. Lurking behind the case is “Dark River,” a massive shadow spanning the worlds of politics, business, and law. When trust fractures due to conflicting ideologies and whistleblowing letters arrive alongside death threats, they are forced to stage a public falling out. Yet, in the dead of night, they continue to share intelligence and plan their moves side by side.

This is a masterclass in cooperation between financial manipulation and criminal logic—a dangerous dance between an avenger walking the gray zone and a law enforcer upholding absolute justice. Together, they must face Dark Web extortion, internal betrayals, and a countdown crisis capable of destroying the city.

As dawn approaches, they must make a choice: hold fast to their respective positions, or reshape the boundaries of the rules for one another?
