In a world where truth is a whisper and lies echo through the streets, Stella Raine is a legend. The world's top detective, she's cracked cases that left even the most powerful trembling. But no case has ever consumed her like this one.
"In this world, the brightest lights cast the longest shadows," she muttered, staring at the twisted path ahead.
And then, there's him. Xu Minghao. To the world, he's the perfect man-charming, unassuming. But behind that mask is something far more dangerous.
"Do you really think you can trust me?" he asked, his eyes darkening with a hidden promise.
As Stella uncovers more, the line between right and wrong blurs, and love and danger intertwine in a web of deception.
