The Wrongness of a Single Thought

She is a beautiful homicide detective who can walk alone into a murder scene at midnight without flinching; a kind-hearted young woman who, though neglected by her adoptive father, still risks danger and slips past everyone to climb a wall and visit a sister who shares no blood with her; a strong woman who bears everyone's misunderstandings and the departure of the one she loves, gritting her teeth in silence, pulling herself out of the mire again and again, never once falling. She is Mu Yinian—the woman forever on Shen Yufei's mind. He is a stern, restrained neurosurgeon who rarely smiles; a young man of promise who keeps his distance from women; a devoted soul who loves Mu Yinian deeply yet clings to memory and will not move on. He is Shen Yufei—the thorn in Mu Yinian's memory that cannot be pulled out. They once cared for each other, but a car accident left her sister bedridden and drove a deep misunderstanding between them, making them strangers. She is willing to draw a prison for herself, bearing every misunderstanding and complaint, curled up in memory for warmth. Yet the people you are meant to meet—no matter how far you go, you will meet them in the end... Mu Yinian never imagined that meeting again three years later would come so suddenly. Like a deserter flinging away armor, she is thrown into panic; he is cold and restrained, his words yet patient and cutting. She is the "stranger" on his lips, and the "vermillion mark" on his heart that cannot be erased.
