   [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.

    The first book features two male protagonists; the second has no romantic pairing and can be read as a lighthearted read. It consists of episodic cases (approximately ten chapters per case) plus a main, longer case. There's no system, no cheat codes, no overpowered abilities; it's plot-driven with strong characters working together. The focus is on solving cases, with romance as a secondary element. It's not scary, not sensational, and not gory. It touches on criminal investigation, forensic science, trace evidence examination (blood, footprints, ballistics, handwriting analysis, etc.), Criminal psychology (criminal cartography), and forensic autopsy content.

    1. "In Our Line of Work, the Biggest Taboo is Falling in Love with a Customer" (Renamed by the Civil Affairs Bureau Overnight) – This terrible title almost made me miss this year's favorite. Suspense lovers absolutely shouldn't miss this novel!!! Taoist priest x male ghost. If the male ghost isn't the top, it's meaningless. The seemingly gloomy male ghost is actually a real couple, so sweet it made me scream. The episodic cases are a dream for those who love shipping couples. There are many subplots, and many people can secretly ship them, but the main couple is still very clear. Help!
