Don't Catch Me, I'm a Good Person

[Synopsis]

Bai Xiaoman transmigrated into a world called "Villain's Valley" and was bound to a peculiar System named "003."

[Beep!]

[Congratulations, Host, on arriving in the "Villain's Valley" world. I am your System. Your current identity is that of an on-the-run serial murder suspect. You can return to your original world only if you survive.]

To keep the police from discovering that he was a murderer, Bai Xiaoman decided to take an unprecedented approach before they arrived: at the crime scene, he would play the innocent witness, trembling with fear, and even offer "false" testimony to mislead the police, maintaining his persona as a murderer without revealing who he really was.

However, despite all his careful planning, he had not counted on Wen Jiu, the lead detective in charge of the case, being the kind of ruthless man who never played by the rules.

At the city police bureau, Bai Xiaoman clung to Wen Jiu's waist, crying pitifully. "Officer, I-I really don't know anything."

Wen Jiu looked down at the young man, who was too afraid to even kill a chicken, and furrowed his brow. Yet when the other man turned away, he caught a fleeting glimpse of the cold, predatory look in his eyes.

As the investigation deepened, Wen Jiu realized that this seemingly delicate, helpless "little white flower" always managed to land precisely on every crucial detail of the case.

Whenever Wen Jiu was about to uncover the truth, Bai Xiaoman would look at him with an innocent expression and say softly, "Captain Wen, bad people always get punished, right?"

Wen Jiu cornered Bai Xiaoman against the wall, his fingertips brushing over the younger man's trembling lashes. His voice was low and dangerous. "Bai Xiaoman, you're a good actor. But pretending to be cute in front of me, don't you think you've picked the wrong person?"

He curled up in Wen Jiu's arms, looking wronged. "Captain Wen, I'm scared..."

Bai Xiaoman blinked his big eyes as the System's alarm blared:

[Host! Your mission is to commit crimes! Not flirt with the police!]

Wen Jiu let out a cold laugh and grabbed his wrist. "What are you afraid of? That I'll arrest you, or... that I'll fall in love with you?"

[Bonus Scene]

During an operation gone wrong, Wen Jiu cornered Bai Xiaoman in a dead-end alley.

Bai Xiaoman: "Captain Wen, I'm just an ordinary, delicate man."

Wen Jiu produced the evidence. "Then explain why your fingerprints were found on the murder weapon, and why your gait analysis shows that you have exceptional combat skills."

Bai Xiaoman's eyes filled with tears. "Because... because I admire you, so I secretly copied your moves?"

Wen Jiu laughed in exasperation, hoisted him over his shoulder, and said, "Fine. You can copy them for me at home."

[Reader's Guide]

1. The top vacillates between wanting to arrest the bottom and instinctively wanting to protect him. The bottom gradually falls for the top as he goes from using him to survive to genuinely developing feelings.

2. The System offers a third-party perspective and often complains about the bottom's "neglecting his proper business": he's supposed to commit crimes, not flirt with the police. It adds to the humor.

3. Suspense, horror, and comedy early on; cozy daily life and crime-solving in the middle; devoted protection later.

4. One-on-one romance, older top, size difference, happy ending.
