   [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.

   A suspenseful, thrilling title: After being fired from the Big Four, I sent a billionaire to prison by auditing accounts. Have you ever wondered where the money went when people swindled your parents' retirement savings? This book tells you the answer. The protagonist, Chen Yan, a former Big Four auditor, was framed and fired for refusing to sign a false report, resulting in an industry-wide blacklist. Three years later, a late-night phone call brings him back to the battlefield—in Futian, Shenzhen, a cross-border e-commerce boss "commits suicide," yet his export figures have surged by 300%. He uncovers a financial flow that the police couldn't trace in just twenty minutes. This isn't a crime novel; it's about using an auditor's "data eye" to see through all financial lies. Already at 120,000 words, the protagonist's career is fully developed, there's no romance involved, and the trio (auditor + female police officer + intern assistant) form a pure camaraderie. Every three chapters offer a small thrill, and each volume features a major case—cross-border money laundering, retirement scams, the cryptocurrency black market, billion-dollar supply chain fraud, influencer tax evasion, venture capital fraud, and murder within a wealthy trust… You think you're reading a novel, but you're actually learning how to fight fraud.

The zipper was a little stuck; she tugged at it a couple of times without success. Ning Xing reached out and straightened the zipper for her, gently pulling it up. The movement was very natural, as if he had done it many times before. Chu Ran looked up and met his gaze. The office was quiet. The sunlight reflecting off the snow outside bathed the room in a hazy, blue-white hue. He didn't speak. Neither did she. They stood there, so close they could feel each other's breath. Chu Ran's heart suddenly pounded. So loud she wondered if he could hear it too. Ning Xing's hand remained on the zipper pull. His gaze slowly slid from her eyes to her lips. Then he moved a little closer… She remembered Xu Zi'an's last expression. Beneath the crumbling calm on that face, something was awakening. Perhaps it was conscience, perhaps regret, or perhaps something more dangerous, a self-destructive impulse. But whatever it was, it was real. He was real in that moment. The words he spoke, those fragmented, self-talking sentences—"Category 3" wasn't the end, it was the beginning; there was more than one "gardener," each pruning different branches; his father had left behind a "final backup," hidden where only he could read it, but he died before he could speak of it.

    This is a historical romance, suspenseful, and incredibly sweet story. The female lead is a master of metaphysics; after being hit by a hearse and dying in modern times, she is reborn and transmigrates to ancient times. In her previous life, she was a surgical nurse and possesses psychic abilities. Besides summoning spirits and exorcising demons, she is also skilled in Yin-Yang Feng Shui, the I Ching, grave robbing, and celestial observation! The entire story is highly immersive, and she can even witness a murder using her psychic powers. The male lead is the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, who falls in love with the female lead at first sight and arranges for her to work as his recorder. The two solve cases together while falling in love, and the male lead is extremely doting on her. Whenever the female lead communicates with spirits, her body is damaged by Yin energy, leaving her severely lacking in Yang energy. The male lead, however, has an extremely Yang constitution, so she draws Yang energy from him to replenish her Yin—the method of which is left to your imagination.
