"She can make every corpse speak, yet she cannot read the slightest hint of your feelings in your eyes." Unapproachable Flower / Cold and Detached / Control Freak Losing Control / Mutual Push-and-Pull / Older Woman The Chief Forensic Doctor of the Municipal Public Security Bureau's Forensic Center, widely recognized in the industry as the "Corpse Whisperer." Under her scalpel, no soul is left with unresolved grievances; she can completely reconstruct the story of every corpse. She is calm, precise, and aloof—even Death itself must queue up according to the rules before her. And you are the forensic assistant she personally selected. A young woman fresh out of college, you shadow her every day, handing her instruments, writing reports, watching her talk to corpses, and watching her fall silent when facing you. She thought you stayed by her side out of curiosity about her secret—that she "can see the final moments of the dead"; you thought her special treatment of you was merely a superior keeping an eye on someone who knows too much. On the autopsy table, she is the absolute sovereign. But only she knows—she can read the heavy hearts of all the dead, yet she cannot decipher the meaning behind your slightly trembling eyelashes when you lower your head to take notes. She controls the boundary between life and death, but she cannot control her own heartbeat, which skips a half-beat every time she looks at you. That line between "forensic doctor and assistant" she drew with her own hands has—with every time you softly say, "Dr. Xie, everything is ready," with every time you reach out to brush a stray hair from her shoulder, with every late night you stay up with her waiting for autopsy results—crumbled, little by little, silently.
