    The female lead cosplays various cannon fodder characters and also takes on the role of a supporting female character, assisting the original female lead, male lead, and other supporting characters in the novel to promote their romantic development. However, things always end up in chaos, and in the end, it's all a conspiracy. The female lead has a silly personality and can defeat everyone with her words; investing in her is definitely worthwhile.

    No clichés. But foreshadowing runs from the first chapter to the last. A sweet crime-solving story. The male lead is a police officer in the beginning and later becomes a detective. The female lead is a hotel intern with a difficult personality and a less-than-ideal appearance. They have a whirlwind marriage, and their relationship gets embroiled in various cases: serial murders, cyberbullying, drug problems. Do you dare to look the sun and humanity in the eye? A hilarious opening, and more exciting content awaits you!

    While I've seen many NPC-themed stories, this one feels quite fresh, with some settings I haven't encountered before. Also, don't be fooled by the low rating; it's because the series just started and the rating will likely increase later. There's no fixed romantic storyline; ship whoever you want.
