    Highly recommend "Give You Spring Colors"! The aloof forensic pathologist Lin Wanqiu is unexpectedly drawn into a series of murders, only to unexpectedly encounter the mysterious detective Huo Chenzhou at the autopsy table. When he strokes her trembling eyelashes with his gloved fingertips, he says, "Dr. Lin, your scalpel fascinates me more than my gun." The two unravel the mystery of blood and bone, their life-or-death struggle in dark alleys, their intense interrogation sessions filled with barely concealed passion in every glance. When the truth is revealed, Huo Chenzhou has broken police regulations to fabricate evidence for her, while Lin Wanqiu willingly becomes bait to lure the killer out. This love story, which began in bloodshed, reaches its climax on a rooftop during a stormy night—his gun barrel pressed against her carotid artery transforms into the tenderness of him draping her coat over her shoulders: "I will protect my spring colors, so they will never fade." A suspenseful and sweet romance that will keep you up all night!
