    Reader note

    This story perfectly captures the essence of a strong, protective, and loyal wolf-dog versus a cold, aloof, and sickly beauty—a tale of mutual affection and reconciliation. Five years ago, Yan Guici, the most renowned genius scholar at C University, disappeared without a trace. Five years later, he returns as a top-tier special consultant, still exuding a cold and aloof aura, his intelligence still overwhelming everyone, but now burdened with the frail constitution of a "sickly beauty" who seems to collapse at the slightest breeze and suffers from constant stomach aches. And, coincidentally, his partner is none other than his old acquaintance whom he cruelly abandoned years ago—the now decisive and hot-tempered team leader, He Wenxiao. Upon their first meeting, Team Leader He is sarcastic and cynical, but Yan Guici remains oblivious. 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.

    🔥 "Dream Chaser" Recommendation: When a cold and aloof consultant can "solve cases in dreams," the straight-laced captain is forced into close protection mode! 🔥 Shen Ran, a psychological consultant who can read memories by touch and even infiltrate other people's dreams, is physically weak but possesses a "human lie detector" buff. When he dreams of personally dissecting a victim's abdomen, he wakes up to find that the murder methods in the news perfectly overlap with his dream—this isn't a dream; it's a live broadcast of a crime scene! Captain Lu Cheng of the Criminal Investigation Division was almost scared away by Shen Ran's "fake" handshake the first time they met. He initially thought Shen Ran was a weak and frail relative, but this fair-skinned young man saw through the secrets of the corpse at a glance and always pretended to be asleep during interrogations—until he discovered that Shen Ran could actually outwit the murderer in his dreams! From then on, Captain Lu's daily routine became: investigating cases, staking out, and being a human power bank for Consultant Shen. When Shen Ran falls into a deep sleep due to exhaustion, Lu Cheng immediately carries him home and takes care of him 24/7, tucking him in while angrily smoking: "If this little devil wakes up, I'm going on a blind date to prove I'm straight!" Shen Ran discovers that every time he touches Lu Cheng, he senses not clues to the case, but a burning honesty and concern. When dreams and reality intertwine, can he, under Lu Cheng's protection, uncover the shocking secrets behind his past and the serial murders? 💡Suspense + episodic + mutual redemption: Witness how a sickly genius and a tough captain go from initial hesitation to incredible teamwork. When dreams become crime scenes, only trust can pierce the darkness!

    A story about a puppy-like detective and a cool, aloof forensic doctor. It features multiple supporting couples, episodic cases, and incredibly sweet interactions between each pair, especially the two male leads. Initially, the puppy is clingy to the forensic doctor, but later the forensic doctor imprisons the puppy, displaying a strong possessive streak. The cases are diverse, including pseudo-locked-room mysteries, clan feuds, massacres, burying a body on a school playground, and a love triangle murder. The book is already quite long [I understand].
