Blurb:

To Gu Nianyi, Xu Luo is the new criminal behavior analyst at the bureau, a witness to a rooftop murder, and a strange, unsettling person he cares deeply about.

Five years older than him, Xu Luo looks gentle and soft. He often seems lost in thought, wearing a mask of benevolence while manipulating people's minds.

To Xu Luo, Gu Nianyi is an irritable mad dog who'll do anything to solve a case, snapping at anyone who crosses his path without showing mercy.

After clashing time and again, they find themselves facing an ever-darkening abyss. Their paths become intertwined, and beneath the surface, deep concern and affection take root.

"Are you afraid of being controlled?"

"When you read these words, does that mean you've been controlled too?"

Blurb 2:

When a professor dies, strange objects are found arranged in odd places, along with a bizarre note.

The case of a woman murdered in a restroom on Bar Street remains unsolved.

With the Heixi City Bureau overwhelmed, they believe a predictive System can help them solve their immediate problems. But on the night the System is officially completed a month later, its chief engineer is mysteriously found dead in a hotel.

Gu Nianyi and Xu Luo both appear at the scene.

Behind the brutal murders, the cases seem unrelated, but concealed behind them is an event even more secretive than the murders themselves.

A few possible triggers:

It's kind of a crime investigation story, but really, it's still a romance.

It's a slow burn, so I hope you'll be patient while things unfold little by little.

*Please read carefully before starting:

The investigation is shown mostly from the top's point of view at first, but the bottom's point of view appears later. There are dual POVs, so please don't argue about who's the top or bottom.

The bottom changed tops. Before the current top, he had a long-term partner who psychologically controlled him, leaving him traumatized. He's repressed and sensitive early on. The details are in another book. If you can't accept that, please don't read this.

The top is an irritable mad dog who will do anything to solve a case, with a dulled sense of pain.

[Both characters have issues]. They grow as people, save and heal each other, and tease and flirt along the way.
