The Color of Withering

[Coming Soon: Godless Day (Infinite Flow). Please add it to your collection!] Famous painter Chen Shuyan and Xu Liangyun, captain of the criminal police team, were a loving couple. They got together in their sophomore year of college and stayed together for five years. Then, five years later, someone who had a grudge against Xu Liangyun hurt Chen Shuyan, sending him straight to the ICU. As soon as he got out of the ICU, Xu Liangyun dumped him. Xu Liangyun was ruthless. He ignored Chen Shuyan's tears and pleas for him to stay, pulled out his SIM card and threw it in the trash that very day, moved out of their home in an instant, and disappeared from Chen Shuyan's world completely. From then on, they went their separate ways and never saw each other again. Until another five years had passed, and Chen Shuyan's photo turned up at a crime scene. The culprit had named him as their "next target." As the officer in charge of the case, Xu Liangyun naturally took on the responsibility of protecting him. Xu Liangyun: ...Thanks for asking. I'm standing outside my own front door. I haven't been back in five years. My feelings are complicated, like a whole vat of condiments got stirred together. Naturally rational, self-restrained, and a little fierce police officer pursuer x gentle, melancholy painter who gets a little fierce when provoked, as the pursued. Haha, I can't write a blurb. Anyway, come on in and enjoy the romance! *Reading Guide* 1. One-on-one romance, relationship-focused, and an unconventional crime investigation story that leans a little more toward everyday romance. 2. Both leads are devoted to each other, happy ending, romance comes first. Don't recommend reading this as a crime-investigation novel. We're mainly here for the romance. 3. Whether the pursuer is a scumbag is a matter of opinion. I'm open to feedback and comments, but no personal attacks, please. XOXO. And please add my next book to your collection, too~ Godless Day (Infinite Flow) One day, a massive series of disasters struck Earth across the globe, including but not limited to earthquakes, tsunamis, tornadoes, volcanic eruptions, and meteorite impacts. Then the sun and moon vanished, and the world came to an end. In the crisis, an evil god suddenly emerged from underground and threw all of humanity into the Eternal Eye. The evil god pointed at the levels and said, "Clear them, or we're all doomed." Someone asked, "Why?" "Good question," the evil god said. "Because your dear benevolent god ran away." Humanity: "..." So, because the gods had run away and the world was on the brink of destruction, humanity had no choice but to enter the Eternal Eye and, following the evil god's instructions, clear level after level to select a new god. If just one person could clear the seven eyes, they could become a god, save the world, and restore everything to normal. The magician Si Qing entered the Eternal Eye and happened to run into his middle school classmate, Li Fang. Then he realized that he was clearing the levels with surprising ease. For instance, the ghost that was supposed to jump out at a corner and scare him was already lying on the ground when he got there. For instance, the item he was supposed to spend ages searching for was already in his pocket when he reached inside. For instance... ...For instance, one day he caught Li Fang wiping his own goat horns in the bathroom. They were the sign of an evil god. Si Qing: "..." Evil God Li Fang: "...Let me explain." Evil god pursuer x magician pursued. Theme: Have the courage to take a step forward.
