Officer Chen Chen Chen Chen

Blurb: This novel is complete. Please add my next novel, "Love by Design," to your reading list.

Captain Chen of the Criminal Investigation Squad's Major Crimes Unit has always been aloof and kept his distance from women.

But lately, everyone has noticed that Yue Ying, the new prosecutor, and he have been getting along like a house on fire. Their relationship seems a little ambiguous.

Could this iron tree that's stood barren for a thousand years finally be blooming?

One curious bystander didn't dare ask Chen Yandong, so they went to Yue Ying instead. "Xiao Yue, are you dating Captain Chen from the criminal investigation squad?"

Yue Ying shook her head vigorously, denying it emphatically. "No! No! When we're together, we only talk about cases! Our relationship is completely innocent!"

"Really?" The busybody looked doubtful.

"Really! Really!" Yue Ying chuckled, her fingers swiping aimlessly across her phone.

The next second, she accidentally tapped a voice message, and a young man's voice rang out: "Xiao Ying, there's a case. I'm working late tonight, so I'll be home late. Don't wait up for me!"

Everyone heard it loud and clear. That young man's voice belonged, unmistakably, to the very Captain Chen Yue Ying claimed to have an utterly innocent relationship with!

Plot synopsis:

A teenage girl goes missing, and prosecutor Yue Ying meets police detective Chen Yandong.

The two join forces to solve one major case after another. Just as their relationship is about to blossom naturally, an old neighborhood is slated for demolition, and a skeleton is discovered, bringing to light the case of Chen Yandong's ex-girlfriend, who disappeared seven years ago.

Mysteries within mysteries, cases within cases, and feelings tangled in feelings. How will they unravel it all?

Reader's guide: 1. Both leads have exes. If that bothers you, please don't read. That said, this is basically a sweet romance.

2. The romance develops slowly during the first case. After that case is over, the romantic storyline picks up considerably.

3. You don't need to tell me if you drop the novel. Thank you.

This novel features criminal investigations and consists mainly of three cases. I hope you enjoy it.

Case One: The mystery of a high school girl's disappearance.

Case Two: The mystery of a mother and daughter's disappearance.

Case Three: The mystery of an ex-girlfriend's disappearance.

Announcement: This novel will be going premium on March 17, 2020. I'll post three chapters that day, so please show your support!

I'm planning to start two novels this year: the modern romance Love by Design and the historical romance The Daughter of a Humble Household. Both have mystery elements. If you're interested, please visit my author page, find the drafts, and add them to your reading list. (The blurbs have been uploaded to Weibo as screenshots.)

Blurb for Love by Design:

When Ren Ran was ten, her father was exposed for having an affair. The woman he'd been seeing had a daughter who was only four months younger than Ren Ran. Her mother took her and her older sister and was thrown out of the house.

When Ren Ran graduated from college, her boyfriend dumped her for someone from a much wealthier family.

After starting work, Ren Ran met a handsome man and discovered that he was not only the older brother of her ex-boyfriend's wealthy new girlfriend, but also the man her half-sister had a crush on.

What should she do?

Of course she should flirt with him!

If she can win him over, she can hold her head high in front of her ex-boyfriend and drive the mother and daughter who stole her place crazy. Just thinking about it feels great!

Better to act than to pine, so Ren Ran switches on her charm.

But as she keeps flirting, she starts to feel like something isn't quite right!

So who's seducing whom?

Li Hao: Honey, have you heard the story about the mantis stalking the cicada?

Ren Ran: I thought you were the cicada.

Li Hao: Wrong! I'm the oriole.

Ren Ran: ...

Scheming beauty lawyer versus dark, handsome police detective

Blurb for The Daughter of a Humble Household:

The Jiang family was once a poor, humble household. Unexpectedly, they became related by marriage to the wealthy Wei family in the capital. Jiang's father shamelessly asked Master Wei to find him a job in the capital, so Jiang Yuan followed her father there when he took up his post.

Wei Xuan, the Wei family's legitimate son, was handsome and graceful, skilled at riding and archery, and well versed in poetry and literature. He was the ideal husband in the hearts of countless young women, yet he was an aloof beauty, difficult to approach, who looked down on poor relatives like the Jiang family who had ingratiated themselves with the Weis.

Jiang Yuan, from a humble household, couldn't find a suitable marriage match. Before long, she had become an unmarried woman of twenty.

Then she turned around and realized that the aloof beauty from the Wei family, two years older than her, was still unmarried too.

Wei Xuan: How about we settle for each other?

Jiang Yuan: Wei Lang, do you know why I still haven't married?

Wei Xuan: Why?

Jiang Yuan: I don't want to settle.
