Every detective chases the truth. Some don’t realize it’s chasing them back.

When reserved, soft-spoken officer Wu Yu joins the Jinhai Police Service, he becomes the newest member of the Criminal Investigation Division under the notoriously sharp-tempered Sergeant Bu Chonghua. From day one, it’s clear: Bu doesn’t like him, doesn’t trust him, and doesn’t want him there.

But Wu isn’t going anywhere.

He endures the scoldings without complaint, slipping through the cracks with quiet obedience. Yet beneath his gentle demeanor, something doesn’t add up—and Bu can’t stop watching. The masks Wu wears start to falter, revealing a man far more capable—and far more haunted—than anyone expected.

As a wave of brutal crimes hit Jinhai, tied to a dark web platform known as the Mariana Trench, Bu and Wu are pulled into a deadly conspiracy that runs deeper than either of them imagined. And somewhere between bloodshed and betrayal, suspicion and trust, two men with fractured pasts begin to find in each other a reason to stay afloat.

Hunt for the Leviathan is a gripping danmei crime thriller about secrets, survival, and the quiet, relentless pull between two men who learn—slowly, painfully—that even in the deepest waters, it’s possible to save one another.
