    A high-energy plot, with the case and romance intertwined in a double spiral. She is a genius psychological profiler who can see into the devil. He is a SWAT captain who walks on the edge of light and darkness, using his body as a shield. He would protect her with his life. The male lead, the second male lead, and the entire police force are at the pinnacle of combat power. The story starts off strong: the romance in chapters 20, 22, 27, 31, and beyond 44, with the cases as the main plot, interwoven with romance, is very captivating. A memorable case: a series of unsolved cases from twenty years ago plunged the entire city of Nanzhou into panic. The only clue was a string of "poetic murder codes" that only the rookie officer Chu Ran could decipher. The male lead, Ning Xing, is the captain of the Nanzhou SWAT team. He is a walking embodiment of masculinity, and also the sharpest knife at the crime scene. Beneath his cold exterior lies a heart that softens only for one person. The second male lead, Jiang Qi, the head of the special task force, is calm and self-possessed, has a fiancée, and keeps all his admiration for the female lead hidden under the case files, never revealing it. The only time he lost control was the night Chu Ran broke down. Seeing her trembling with tears, he said nothing, but simply pulled her into his arms, holding her so tightly it felt like he wanted to meld her into his very bones. That was the only time he ever hugged her. Later, he emptied a whole pack of cigarettes, burying those feelings deep within his heart before dawn.

    The first book had a super cool female lead who was also very efficient and decisive in solving cases; I found it quite enjoyable. The second book was about forensic medicine. There wasn't much romance in it.
