Something lurks beneath the city of Yancheng, and as international spotlight falls upon it, the darkness begins to stir.

As one of the police force’s best investigators, the task of unraveling the city’s morbid mysteries falls to Luo Wenzhou. But as the case develops, a common thread seems to emerge: the infamous playboy and wealthy CEO, Fei Du.

With a harrowing past of his own, Fei Du is no stranger to the ins and outs of the crime investigation unit, and his suspiciously shrewd insights into the workings of the criminal mind are a great help to Luo Wenzhou’s team. As they work together to pursue justice,  Luo Wenzhou must reconcile this new version of Fei Du—sharp, astute, with impeccable skills of deduction—with the troubled child he once helped…

LAMBS TO THE SLAUGHTER

Yancheng Municipal Bureau is called in to handle a school bus hijacking—a bizarre crime, but seemingly an isolated one. Sadly, the police are unable to return one of the bus’s young passengers to her parents. She’s vanished without a trace.

The schoolgirl’s disappearance leads Luo Wenzhou and Tao Ran to reexamine a police investigation that took place twenty years earlier. That strange case seems to have haunted almost everyone who lived through it—especially Luo Wenzhou and Tao Ran’s own mentor.

Soon, it’s impossible to overlook the fact that the school bus passenger wasn’t the first young girl to go missing in Yancheng. On the contrary, girls have been vanishing into thin air for twenty years. And the next to go missing is one Tao Ran knows personally.

Dealing with that bus hijacking already forced Luo Wenzhou to enlist Fei Du’s help, and it seems he won’t get a break from the petulant young scion anytime soon. The only way for Tao Ran and Luo Wenzhou to find this girl alive may be to follow Fei Du’s instincts—however strange or disturbing they may be…

The hit danmei thriller from the author behind Guardian: Zhen Hun and Stars of Chaos: Sha Po Lang–both available from Seven Seas!

A young man’s body is found outside a glitzy high-rise on the West Side of Yancheng—dressed for celebration, strangled, and left with a sheet of paper covering his face. One word is scrawled across it: money.

To Sergeant Luo Wenzhou, head of the Criminal Investigation Team at the Yancheng Municipal Public Safety Bureau, it’s just another case in a city rife with power plays and buried secrets. But as he digs deeper with his team, what begins as a straightforward homicide unravels into something far murkier—reaching into the city’s darkest corners of wealth, privilege, and police corruption.

And then there’s Fei Du: the aloof, razor-sharp CEO of the Fei Corporation, who seems to know far too much about the murder—and about Luo Wenzhou himself. Once a troubled youth with ties to Luo’s past, Fei Du now walks a fine line between brilliant ally and inscrutable suspect. His insights are disturbingly precise. His motives? Frustratingly opaque.

As the investigation twists through layers of trauma and moral ambiguity, Luo Wenzhou finds himself reluctantly drawn toward the very man who unsettles him most. But in a city where justice is easily bought and truth wears many masks, can either man afford to trust the other?
