γAbout This Storyγ
1998, Northeast China.
Five years ago, Lyu Hansongβs father, a senior engineer, perished in what was ruled a "tragic car accident." But while sorting through his fatherβs old blueprints, Hansong stumbles upon a set of clandestine notes. They point toward a truth buried deep beneath the snow: his father was not a victim of fate, but a target of a meticulously orchestrated assassination.
As the investigation unfolds, Hansong realizes that the semiconductor technology his father died protecting is the eye of a storm involving powerful, competing factions. A decades-long conspiracy, fueled by greed and systemic upheaval, begins to reveal its jagged teeth amidst the endless snowfall.
