Name: Married First, Love Later: Captain Lu Falls for Her Tenderly
Author: Chen Yiyi

Synopsis

Romance + suspense + deduction + psychology + crime-solving

Su Yunning, a PhD in criminal psychology, is forced to go on a blind date. Sitting across from her is Lu Ze, a criminal investigation captain who was pressured into coming by his family too.

One specializes in understanding the minds of criminals, while the other has cracked one bizarre case after another. They finish dinner in perfect unspoken harmony, both convinced they’ll never cross paths again.

At first, they’re just going through the motions:

“My family’s been on my case. I just need to show up once so I can tell them I did.”

Then she’s coyly asking him to cuddle:

“Wife, I’m feeling awful. Take a look at me.”

“Wife, hug me.”

“Wife, let’s go home.”

“Didn’t we agree to keep this a secret? We were only doing it to appease our families...”

Before Su Yunning could finish, Lu Ze’s lips were already on hers, silencing the rest of her words.

That night, Lu Ze toyed with Su Yunning’s slender fingers. “I regret it. My wife is just too adorable. I want to keep you all to myself.”

Any Crime Investigation Stories Focused on Solving Cases, with Romance on the Side and a Strong Duo?

Looking for books similar to The Psychological Crime Master. 1. If there's a romance, ideally one character should be on the side of good and the other on the side of evil. 2. The man shouldn't be stronger than the woman; they should be evenly matched. 3. The mystery should be solved through deduction alone, with no special abilities.
