   The protagonist is an undercover police officer who returns from his years in northern Myanmar. He forced himself to act like a villain, but inside he was miserable and wanted to die.

Later, he joins the criminal investigation team, where every member treats him very well (there might be some misunderstandings at first, but they clear up later). He becomes the team's darling, but he still suffers occasional setbacks. It's basically a tragic story disguised as a story of a beloved character [crying]. There's no romantic pairing.

    The first chapter jumps straight to the scene where the protagonist's family and friends witness him being dissected alive on the experimental table, yet are powerless to stop it! They're instantly devastated, heartbroken beyond words! It's the kind of story where the protagonist is physically tortured, while his family and friends are heartbroken – a happy ending, but with physical abuse but not emotional abuse. Warning: heavy angst ahead!! A group story centered around the five members of the Detective Conan Police Academy, an OC, and Gao Ming, no romantic pairings, but even those who haven't read Detective Conan can understand it. The protagonist is a perpetually pitiful experimental subject, the beloved darling of the group. It's angsty, but not entirely so, because although the protagonist is constantly being tortured, the police academy group, the "good side," wholeheartedly supports him from beginning to end. Physically in pain, but their hearts remain warm! The protagonist was captured by the Black Organization and used as an experimental subject, the most miserable kind. Because of the constant experiments, he suffers from smiling depression. The protagonist's cheat ability is astral projection, which allows him to travel to the police academy to find his five friends and enroll together. To prevent them from investigating the Black Organization, he lies and claims to be dead. In the first chapter, a friend of the protagonist, Hagiwara, dies and becomes a ghost. He drifts to the organization and discovers the protagonist being subjected to live experiments, causing him to have a complete mental breakdown. The protagonist's true identity is revealed immediately in the first chapter, with the older brother witnessing the experiment and experiencing suffocating heartache. Everyone in the police academy group except Hagiwara is alive; even though Hagiwara is dead but a ghost, they can still be intimate.

    I thought it was a transmigration story, but it's actually a reincarnation story. The princes from the previous life have also been reborn. The system is restricted and can't tell the protagonist the truth, so it can only watch the protagonist walk step by step towards the death ending of his previous life. It's as if something has changed, yet it also seems like nothing has. It's quite frustrating upon closer inspection. Author, please treat the little prince well! The tonics are the same as in his previous life! [Crying]
