In "Mountain and Sea Girl", the romantic saying "The one you love is separated by mountains and seas, but the mountains and seas can be crossed" leads to a unique campus story. Song Li, the renowned school bully of No. 13 Middle School, with the intention of getting close to Gu Ke'ai, the vice monitor of Su Xian's class, resolutely transferred to Zhongwu High School. Facing this secondary school boy who transferred for love, Su Xian, the monitor of the top class, gently pushed his black-rimmed glasses with a prescription of 200 degrees and calmly said, "Please allow me to introduce myself. I'm the monitor, and my alias is 'Mountain and Sea'." Since then, Song Li's plan to cross the "mountains and seas" to get close to Gu Ke'ai has encountered more twists and turns because of Su Xian's existence. At first, Song Li repeatedly failed and stumbled everywhere in the face of "Mountain and Sea". However, in the repeated confrontations, Song Li unexpectedly discovered that Su Xian, the usually serious and earnest monitor, seemed to have a different kind of cuteness. Su Xian, the monitor, is calm and composed in the class, exuding a bit of handsomeness and freedom; while Song Li, who seems as fierce as a wolf dog on the outside, is actually a lively "Siberian Husky" inside. As the story progresses, there are continuous major and minor exams and in-class quizzes on campus. Amidst the interweaving of academic studies, the relationship between the two gradually changes. Song Li, who once only had the intention of getting close to someone else, begins to be unconsciously attracted to Su Xian, and Su Xian also sees the different shining points in Song Li during the process of getting along with him.

The dead don’t lie. But sometimes, they whisper things you were never meant to hear. Forensic pathologist Orion Blackwood has spent his career cutting open the dead. But there’s something he never tells anyone—when he touches a corpse, he hears its final words. A dying breath, a muttered name, a cryptic warning. The problem is, they only speak once. And if he doesn’t understand them in time, the truth rots away along with the flesh. One night, a mutilated woman is wheeled into his autopsy room—no fingerprints, no ID, as if she never existed. As Orion reaches for his scalpel, the corpse’s bloodless lips part, and in a ragged whisper, she speaks: “Don’t let him find you.” Then, her jaw snaps shut. Her body goes cold. And Orion realizes something is very, very wrong. The next day, she disappears from the morgue. No records, no evidence, no proof she was ever there. Even the security footage shows only Orion, standing alone in the room. As he searches for answers, the whispers of the dead become more insistent.
