Name: Scenting the Killer
Author: Quitting Coffee

Synopsis

After an accident, Shen Xi’s sense of smell becomes extraordinary. The air smells like nothing to us, unless someone has deliberately released “poison gas,” of course. But to her, it smells of blood. If the smell of blood in the air grows so strong that she can hardly breathe, there must be a murderer nearby. This ability has helped criminal investigation captain Qiu Han quickly identify suspects time and again. For some reason, she can’t smell the blood in the air whenever she’s beside Qiu Han. To Shen Xi, he is nothing less than a human air purifier. Shen Xi is also a fan, and by a stroke of luck, her ability brings her closer to her idol, Lu Wei.

After an accident, Qiu Han develops insomnia. He can’t sleep all night, and whenever he does drift off, nightmares wake him. But when he’s beside Shen Xi, he can sleep peacefully. This makes him curious about the girl.

Chu Ming is Qiu Han’s junior from the police academy and his colleague. At some point, he develops feelings for Qiu Han that he can’t quite make sense of. Shen Xi’s arrival helps him understand his own heart.

After Shen Xi, Qiu Han, idol Lu Wei, and Chu Ming have been through a series of cases, they finally realize that their meeting was no coincidence. It was fate~
