==Synopsis==
{{No reference|section|date=March 2024}}
 
===Season 1===
In 1988, teenagers find a dead body in the woods; months beforeearlier, two madams at Light Bar struggle with the men in their lives.
 
===Season 2===
 
At the end of the second season of ''Light the Night'', Chiang Han is shown listening to a tape recorder that was handed over to him earlier by Rose. It hadhas a recording of a woman panicking about another woman's death. Just as Chiang Han is on his way to meet Rose, he is hit by a speeding car and collapses on the road.
 
===Season 3===
WeIt learnis revealed that Rose came to work at Light after being released from prison, having taking the fall for her unscrupulous husband (Joseph Cheng). While serving time, Rose befriended Hana (Esther Liu), who also comes to work at Light upon her release.(strong sex scenes)
 
The fact that ''Light the Night'' ends with Rose staring at Sue's body suggests that their relationship is going to remain very central in the second and third parts, and we certainly can't dismiss her as a suspect just because there are likelier candidates.
