THIS IS A NOVEL ABOUT A FORENSIC PSYCHOLOGIST TURNED INTO PRIVATE DETECTIVE SOLVING COMPLEX CASE FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD NOT JUST JAPAN QUICK NOTE: I AM 'THE DETECTIVE' IN WATTPAD ;)

A powerful and ruthless Korean mafia, comprised of five influential leaders, operates an illicit human trafficking ring under the guise of a legitimate conglomerate, Haechi Holdings. They systematically abduct and murder individuals who uncover their operations, harvesting their body parts for sale on the black market, while their crimes are meticulously covered up by corrupt top security authorities, plunging the nation into a state of fearful silence. Kim Min-ji, a diligent compliance analyst at Haechi Holdings, accidentally uncovers the horrifying truth of this operation – a vast network of disappearances, murders, and organ harvesting, with victims' remains stored in a highly secure hidden facility. Driven by a desperate need for justice, she gathers irrefutable evidence, but is discovered during her attempt to obtain physical proof from the mafia's hidden warehouse. Captured and brutally murdered on the spot by Director Choi, one of the mafia leaders, Min-ji's body parts are subsequently harvested and stored alongside the other victims. Miraculously, Min-ji's still-living heart is transplanted into the body of a young man, Lee Jin-woo (이진우), who suffered a severe accident on the same night. She awakens in Jin-woo's body, grappling with the traumatic memories of her death and the surreal reality of her new male identity. Her desperate attempts to expose the mafia and explain her soul-swapping ordeal are dismissed by medical professionals as a symptom of trauma and mental instability, leaving her isolated and disbelieved. Embracing this new existence, Min-ji, now in Jin-woo's form, resolves to dedicate her life to a singular, all-consuming purpose: exacting vengeance for herself and for every innocent victim of the mafia's atrocities. She vanishes for six months, undergoing an intense and rigorous transformation. During this period, she hones herself into a formidable force: a master combatant, a precise sniper, an expert driver, and a financially independent individual with an extensive network of contacts and a skilled hacker ally. Her meticulously planned return is marked by a devastating personal blow – the discovery of her mother's mysterious death during her absence. Overwhelmed by grief, she returns to her childhood home, where she unearths a hidden wooden box containing irrefutable evidence that her mother was also murdered, further fueling her burning desire for retribution. With her resolve solidified, Jin-woo (Min-ji) embarks on her grand mission of revenge. Her first targets are the six top security authorities who colluded with the mafia, systematically eliminating them one by one. Next, she turns her attention to the five personal secretaries of the mafia leaders, who aided in covering up the crimes, dispatching them through unique and untraceable methods, her own actions expertly concealed by her hacker. Finally, she confronts the five mafia leaders themselves, orchestrating their demise without leaving a trace of evidence. Despite intense investigations, authorities are unable to determine the perpetrator. Once her mission is complete, Jin-woo releases all the accumulated evidence to the public, exposing the full, horrific truth of the mafia's operations and the systemic corruption that enabled them. The nation is left in shock and disbelief. A mass memorial is held in honor of the victims, bringing a profound sense of closure and relief to Jin-woo. Having achieved "her and his" revenge, Min-ji continues to live in her new male identity, a silent avenger who brought justice to a corrupt world.
