Miss Zuo Ying

Zuo Ying, a formerly celebrated expert in criminal investigations at Huanyang University and a renowned member of the legal community, found herself on trial, facing accusations of crimes brought forth by her own daughter, Zuo Yang. Just as Zuo Ying was on the brink of receiving a death sentence, the court suddenly altered her punishment, sentencing her instead to an insane asylum. Zuo Yang, having swiftly climbed the ranks due to her success in this case, soon faced a wave of murders that erupted in the city. Unable to crack the cases, she reluctantly turned to her mother for help. Confronting her mother, who had once given her affection but now left her with a tangled and indescribable mix of feelings, Zuo Yang felt beads of sweat form on her cheeks. "My darling daughter, if it only takes a bit of pleading to gain my assistance, why not?" Zuo Ying remarked, glancing at the newspaper in her grasp and smiling while squinting. The chains binding her hands were strikingly obvious—who was truly the imprisoned one here?
