The author's writing is still excellent; I came from the first mystery novel. I was really looking forward to the second one when they said it would focus on Wen Qi and Song Li'an. Now that I've finished reading it, I'm not disappointed. I hope Captain Wen and Director Song can be happy forever! I finally finished watching it! It's great, highly recommended!
I followed the series from Mystery 1 to Mystery 2, and honestly, I preferred the main couple in Mystery 2. The entire book revolves around the cases, and the two go from mutual dislike to a deep connection. We all witnessed Wen Qi's passionate love, but Director Song's doting and tolerant attitude towards Wen Qi, even willing to be subservient to him, was also incredibly touching.
Super good! I've read both of the author's books, and both the plot and the emotions are excellent. Crucially, the logic is sound, and it's an ensemble drama. The main issue is that the side couples are a bit heartbreaking. Yan Jin in the first book really angered me because Zhang Shuang, who was pursuing him, was just so wonderful.
There are no plot holes; all the loose ends from the beginning are resolved later. Each character is vividly and three-dimensionally portrayed. The character development remains consistent throughout, the plot is tight and coherent, and all the main characters are intelligent—it's a show that could be adapted into a TV series.
The romance and plot develop together; it's a great crime thriller with two volumes and two separate stories (currently reading the first volume), featuring different main characters. The seme is like a big, fierce wolf (hahaha) 💕, while the uke is somewhat like a little white rabbit (in their interactions after they get together) (this is just my personal opinion, don't be misled). It's good, I love reading it! 💕💕💕💕
I have high standards for crime dramas, and after scouring through countless options, I finally managed to avoid those typical "Yun, Du, and Li" kinds of stories. This one focuses on the cases themselves, which is quite novel and appealing to me. The romance is more nuanced compared to other dramas, and the emotional storylines don't interfere with the main plot. The only drawback might be the side couple; otherwise, I'd give it four stars.
It's incredibly good! I declare this to be the best crime thriller novel with two male leads of 2025 in my opinion. The plot doesn't drag, and the cases are well-reasoned and interconnected!
I've already read the first book, which was absolutely fantastic. I've only read the first case in the second book, but it's already just as exciting. This author is amazing! 👍👍👍👍 Highly recommend!
The author's writing is superb! I came from Chasing the Light, hehehe, it's so good!
The book realistically portrays the level of acceptance within families regarding same-sex relationships. After all, while same-sex love is more common in today's society, it doesn't escape the somewhat feudal and face-saving tendencies of the older generation.
