Blurb:

Xie Sang Sang, the only daughter of the wealthiest family in the capital, was a famous pampered young lady, raised in the lap of luxury. But she had been ill from birth and was sickly ever since she was little. When she was a child, a fortune-teller told her she wouldn't live past eighteen.

With Xie Sang Sang's eighteenth birthday approaching, her health grew worse by the day. Just then, the Crown Prince sent betrothal gifts to the Xie family. He wanted to marry Xie Sang Sang as his Crown Princess.

At first, Xie Sang Sang's father wasn't inclined to agree. But the Crown Prince promised that, if the Xie family helped him successfully ascend the throne, he would have the palace's finest imperial physician treat Sang Sang. Only then did her father agree.

But the Crown Prince turned out to be utterly heartless. Not only did he drain the wealth the Xie family had accumulated over generations, he also stood by and watched as Xie Sang Sang wasted away in bed and died coughing up blood.

She needed to get healthy before she could avenge old and new wrongs.

Reborn, Xie Sang Sang left the capital, that den of wolves and tigers, early, taking her father and their money with her. She also became a disciple of the miracle doctor of Qiyun Mountain.

The night before Xie Sang Sang recovered and came down from the mountain, everyone at Qiyun Mountain held a farewell banquet for her.

She drank too much and, under the moonlight, took advantage of her immortal-like junior martial uncle, Xing Zhou.

Before dawn the next morning, she woke up in Xing Zhou's room. Turning her head, she saw an extraordinarily handsome sleeping face. She spotted a row of bite marks on Xing Zhou's face and, feeling guilty as a thief, sneaked away.

At a banquet after returning to the capital, she met the Regent, rumored to hold power over the court and to be ruthless. She panicked completely.

Could someone explain why the Regent looked exactly like her junior martial uncle, right down to the bite marks on his face that hadn't faded yet?

[Solving cases while falling in love]

A deceptively gentle but tough undercover criminal investigation team captain x a cool-headed, clever female forensic doctor

Sheng Fang is the new beauty of the Yanxi Criminal Investigation Team and a graduate student of the Chinese People's Public Security University.

When she graduated, she turned down an offer in the capital and asked to be assigned to Yanxi, the most desolate place imaginable.

One day, a new captain arrived at the criminal investigation team, and Sheng Fang was sent to pick him up at the airport.

When she got there, she discovered that the new captain was none other than her old flame, Wei Zhao.

"Fangfang, it's been a long time." He opened his arms to Sheng Fang. Those were the first words he said after their reunion.

Sheng Fang pursed her lips and got back into the car before he could. She didn't say a word, just as she hadn't the day they'd parted.

Sheng Fang gripped the steering wheel, her gaze unconsciously falling on the passenger seat.

After all these years apart, Wei Zhao now looked upright and resolute.

The youthful air he'd had when they first met was gone, as was the wicked, roguish look he'd worn when they parted.

"Fangfang, pay attention when you're driving," Wei Zhao reminded her. Sheng Fang still said nothing, turning her cold gaze away.

In the city bureau parking lot, Sheng Fang unbuckled her seat belt and was about to get out when he grabbed her wrist.

"Fangfang, I'm sorry. I came too late."

Note: This is a one-on-one romance. At first, the male and female leads love each other, but the male lead has no choice but to go undercover. The female lead thinks he's a bad guy, and they part ways. After they reunite, the male lead begins the long road to winning her back.

Theme: Start over and bravely seize the opportunities that belong to you. Don't let them slip away.
