Highly intelligent, scheming, strategic, guiding police officer top VS cold, ruthless, revenge-driven, self-destructive undercover bottom

-

A year ago, after an accident, Xu Shaochen, who was undercover in the Kanna Group, vanished for three months.

When he returned to the Kanna Group, he had become a madman in everyone's eyes, cold and impossible to approach.

Everyone wondered what had happened to him during those three months, but he never said a word.

As usual, he kept watch over a bar called Fxxk Monday, moving through the gray areas of the world.

A year later, a murder case brought Xie Yu, deputy captain of Beichuan City's Criminal Investigation Brigade, face-to-face with Xu Shaochen.

The first time Xie Yu saw him, his eyes were full of questions Xu Shaochen couldn't understand. After that, Xie Yu started showing up at Fxxk Monday again and again. Through the neon-lit crowd, he asked, "Do you know there's someone who looks exactly like you?"

Xu Shaochen snatched the glass from his hand and told him to leave.

-

Xie Yu will never forget the senior who pulled him back from the brink during the police academy's major competition, saving not only his university career but also his career as a police officer. His name was Xu Shaochen.

From that day on, Xie Yu developed an indescribable feeling for this kind, gentle, and humble senior.

Unfortunately, after graduation, he never heard anything about him again.

Until one day, he saw a face exactly like Xu Shaochen's in a bar called FxxK Monday.

That was the bar's owner, who was also named Xu Shaochen.

Xie Yu felt that something was wrong.

Because he was absolutely certain the man in front of him was not the senior he remembered.

He tested him again and again, until he was finally turned away at the door.

-

The case Xie Yu was working on led to Kanna.

That brought him onto the special investigation team, where he stuck to Xu Shaochen like a burr.

Xu Shaochen never expected that the person he most wanted to get rid of would repeatedly pull him out of the mire as they investigated Kanna, holding up his constantly sinking body.

Yet a few months later, someone pinned him against the wall in the alley behind Fxxk Monday.

"Don't leave me in the abyss."

Xie Yu's icy fingertips traced the tattoo on his lower back, then slowly moved upward, finally gripping his chin. In his familiar, hoarse voice, he asked softly:

"Little Golden Retriever, what did you mean by the abyss? What happened during the three months you disappeared that changed you so much, or... are you not Xu Shaochen at all?"

Key points:

1. Age gap of four years, with the top older. One-on-one, both leads have no past partners, happy ending. No switching roles or splitting the couple.

2. Not a traditional crime-investigation anthology. There is a major overarching plot.

3. The first half focuses on the plot, the second half on romance.

4. The leads are not criminals. The setting is entirely fictional, the characters are not based on real people, and the author's worldbuilding is extensive. Please don't draw real-life parallels.

5. There is a slight substitute trope. The top only admires and feels grateful to his senior, with no other feelings.
