   [A proud, protective, and loyal wolf-dog × A cold, aloof, and sickly beauty; strong and mutually doting, a broken mirror mended] Five years ago, Yan Guici, the most renowned genius scholar at C University, left without a word. Five years later, he returns as a top-tier specially appointed consultant, still aloof and aloof, his intelligence still overwhelming everyone, but he's unfortunately afflicted with a "sickly beauty" constitution, prone to fainting from a gust of wind and suffering from stomach aches at any moment. And coincidentally, his partner is none other than his old acquaintance whom he cruelly abandoned years ago—now the decisive and hot-tempered captain, He Wenxiao. Upon their first meeting, Captain He is sarcastic and cynical, but Yan Guici ignores him completely. Everyone in the department assumes these two are irreconcilable enemies. Until one day, after working overtime—everyone witnessed the usually volatile Captain He, who had vowed to be "business as it is," wrap a heavy coat around Consultant Yan's thin shoulders with a dark expression, holding a cup of freshly made warm honey water, and coaxing him in a low voice, "Darling, can you take your stomach medicine before looking at the documents?" What was supposed to be a misunderstanding turned into intimate care. What was supposed to be impartial turned into endless favoritism and protection. Yan Guici thought he would have to navigate the mysteries alone, but he never expected that the seemingly wild and untamed man had actually been waiting for him for five years, barging back into his world without explanation, facing all the storms together. This was a long-awaited reunion of equals, and a warm and healing display of absolute favoritism. No matter how many times it's been, as long as it's you, my heart will flutter again.

    Each case is roughly 10 chapters long. The initial setup is impressive, but as you read through each case, your hair stands on end. The contrasting goddesses, the public humiliation, the cannibalistic feasts, the fatherly love turned to madness—many of these are based on real life. Anyone who can finish all three cases and still not add them to their bookshelf is truly ruthless. I would call them my godfathers.
