The Other Shore [Criminal Investigation]

After graduating high school, Xia Xun planned a cruise trip, intending to create intoxicating memories with her girlfriend. However, murder, kidnapping, explosions, and shipwrecks occurred in rapid succession. The trip became a permanent farewell, and her first love became a dead white moonlight.

From then on, Xia Xun fell into a deep depression, living as a ghost of her former self, working as a private investigator.

Being beaten while investigating cases was routine; broken legs and stab wounds were trivial matters; nearly dying was just another day—she had to survive. Xia Xun’s life seemed to have ended the moment she witnessed the explosion and the sinking ship.

Until twelve years later, when she was assisting a police investigation.

She saw the new CID Captain.

It was only then that her stagnant time finally seemed to come back to life.

–

Xu Jinyao had loved Xia Xun since childhood, and would love her until death.

They were neighbors, classmates, friends, and lovers.

After the college entrance exams, a delayed adolescent rebelliousness led her to board that cruise ship called “The Paramita.” She never imagined that what awaited her was an eternal abyss.

On the day Xia Xun untied the ropes and fled alone, Xu Jinyao fell into the deep sea amidst an explosion.

Many years later, they meet again.

She is a CID Captain who has cracked numerous bizarre cases. Her first half of life ended on The Paramita. Reborn, her second half of life is dedicated solely to revenge—she is the new Xu Jinyao.

She wants Xia Xun to pay for what happened back then, wants her to kneel before her, crying bitterly and begging for forgiveness. She wants this person to deeply experience what it means to wish for death, and when she is at her happiest, she will push her into hell.

She wants Xia Xun to feel the same unbearable pain she once did.

But what is strange is this:

When she watches Xia Xun block a knife for her, willingly become a hostage, and risk her life to protect her, she still finds her heart aching.
