[Criminal Investigation + Serial Killer + Case-of-the-Week + Psychological Profiling + High-IQ Crimes + Not for the Fainthearted]

Every time she dates a man, he dies. All three of Shi Yike's boyfriends have met untimely ends, and the serial murder case remains unsolved.

Her family and friends all think she's bad luck. She also knows that a serial killer with a sick obsession with her is lurking nearby.

Should she listen to her family and stay single for the rest of her life so no innocent man gets hurt? Let that psychopath get his way?

As if! She's going to date, all right, and she's going to date a detective who wants nothing more than to solve the serial murder case.

Shi Yike has set her sights on her third boyfriend's childhood friend, the deputy head of the city bureau's criminal investigation team.

Mu Zhichu has drive and courage, brains and status, looks and money. A fake relationship with him is a sure bet.

Shi Yike asks her teacher to set up a blind date, using a “fake boyfriend” as bait to draw out the serial killer and avenge the man she loved.

Shi Yike only wants a fake romance, but she ends up working alongside her fake boyfriend and is hired as a psychological consultant for the provincial bureau's serial murder investigation team.

The joint-case team specializes in solving cold cases and difficult cases linked across jurisdictions. Shi Yike's psychological profiles and hypnosis become their trump cards in cracking cases.

Shi Yike: “Back when our relationship was fake, I couldn't draw that serial killer out. Now we're making it real. Aren't you afraid? Your childhood friend isn't afraid of him, and even said he'd help me break the curse, but then he...”

Mu Zhichu: “Afraid? I'm afraid we won't draw him out. Wait, we're making it real now? Now? I've been working my tail off for more than half a year, while you've been sitting back and enjoying the benefits with nothing but fake feelings?”
