Younger, fatherly wolf-dog boyfriend x sharp-tongued, money-loving cat
Everyday bickering between a married crime-solving couple, in a sweet and thrilling mystery romance.
A sweet, well-behaved beauty just joined the police force. She looks like a heavenly maiden: phoenix eyes, shoulder-length hair, a first-love face, and an innocent charm.
Team Leader He of the Major Crimes Unit had this to say: “The police force isn't a place for pretty ornaments. She'll be gone in less than half a month.”
That was before Li Tian'en solved a bizarre case the force had been unable to crack for three months.
The sweet young woman became the police station's lucky charm overnight, the police cat everyone doted on from afar.
Only then did Team Leader He realize that this “sweet young woman” was actually his sharp-tongued superior, whom he had never met in person.
He Yaohui: Is it too late to sneak everyone's cat home with me now?
Everyone in Hong Kong's upper circles knows that the powerful eldest young master of the He family has long yearned for his first love, who went abroad years ago. When Li Tian'en is taken by the He family elders to meet and marry the He heir, who already has someone in his heart, she keeps talking herself into it: Keep your eyes on the money, keep your eyes on the money. Don't get worked up over a kid.
He Yaohui doesn't care much about this arranged marriage either. He sneaks out of six dates, and only finally meets his intended properly when they go to register their marriage.
He Yaohui: Who said an arranged marriage was a bad thing? This is exactly what I wanted.
Mild mystery, with plenty of creative liberties.
Set in Hong Kong before 1997.
The mystery-solving logic is kept as coherent as possible. At heart, this is a fluffy, brain-off sweet romance.
The first love is the heroine. Pure love.
