My Sister Came Home from the Military, and the Bad-Boy Detective Lost His Heart

Retired female soldier × dashing, roguish detective × period crime investigation × sisters turn against each other × reborn to steal a marriage × groveling ex Ji Hanying left the military after earning honors, originally planning to settle into civilian life and care for her frail younger sister, Su Minzhi. As soon as she got home, she heard that her sister’s fiancé, Yue Zheng, had called off the engagement and made her so upset that she’d fallen ill. She went to teach the man a lesson, only to find that this flippant man, who was always spouting nonsense, had ruthless moves, quick reflexes, and a sharp gaze. Every move he made kept her on the defensive. Ji Hanying resorted to a dirty trick to knock Yue Zheng down and get away. As if fate were deliberately making things difficult, she transferred to the Public Security Bureau, only to find that Yue Zheng was the criminal investigation squad leader on her very first day. The man slowly raised his eyes. “You’re the new one? You look familiar.” From late-night raids on hideouts and chasing down criminals to stakeouts in rainy alleys, Ji Hanying earned credit again and again, while also seeing more and more of the edge hidden beneath the man’s laid-back exterior. The trouble was, her once gentle and devoted younger sister, Su Minzhi, suddenly changed. She stopped crying about wanting to marry Yue Zheng and set her sights on Ji Hanying’s fiancé, Xia Mingyu instead, approaching him repeatedly and deliberately creating an air of intimacy in front of everyone. Ji Hanying thought her sister had been shaken by what happened, unaware that Su Minzhi had returned reborn, already calculating how to seize the wealth she’d had in her previous life and take everything that belonged to her. She thought that if she stole Xia Mingyu, she could steal her older sister’s former glory. She thought that ditching Yue Zheng would help her avoid a life of widowhood. Ji Hanying had only wanted to protect her family ties and engagement. But when she too returned reborn, she finally understood: the younger sister she’d loved for years had long since come to see her as an enemy. As it turned out, Xia Mingyu had someone else in his heart, while only Yue Zheng kept protecting her, time and again.
