Innocent

A covert operation five years ago left Wen Nuan with severe psychological trauma. At the request of criminal psychology expert Xu Zhiyi, the two transferred together to Jincheng, a city where spring lasts all year. They work while recovering, and through one bizarre, twist-filled case after another, Wen Nuan gradually leaves the shadow of five years ago behind and begins a new life in the sunlight...

The female lead is beautiful and badass, ruthless and sparing with words, and an incredible fighter. The male lead is calm and rational, a devoted and warm-hearted man.

A criminal investigation series with an overarching plot:

Main plot: The full truth about the female lead's condition and past is gradually revealed, as is the reason the male lead has always stayed by her side.

1. Blood-Red Collection: Showbiz Case. A popular male star is brutally killed on the set of a variety show. His younger brother, fellow performers, an award-winning actor, paparazzi following his every move, and devoted fans are all implicated. The case explores the high-pressure entertainment industry, the show's rules that put entertainment above all else, and the difficult, stifling lives of performers.

2. The Curse of the Top Student: School Case. On the eve of the national college entrance exam, the top student in Jincheng First High School's citywide mock exam is found dead on the school rooftop. In a bizarre twist, an image of the student appears on the classroom wall through a pinhole projection. The killer is a highly intelligent criminal who uses light, buoyancy, sound, and electricity to commit a series of murders.

3. Secrets Beneath the Concrete: Real Estate Case. A body buried under concrete is discovered at a construction site belonging to Lanqing Real Estate. The victim is the company's owner, and his wife, secretary, clients, and workers all become suspects. The case touches on the pressures of housing prices, family and career, and ideals versus reality.

4. The Mysterious Letter: Isolated Resort Case. A group from the police force goes on vacation at Xiangwen Resort and encounters a series of murders. A body in the hot spring and a locked-room murder lead to an accident that took place at Xiangwen Mountain many years ago. There is no evidence to support the case, so the truth must be reconstructed through deduction alone.

5. Two of Me: Psychological Case. The final case returns to the main plot. The female lead is emotionally unstable and has long imagined that she lives with her older brother. Two psychologists are implicated in the case. They treat her through intensely stimulating experiences, including murder, causing her to develop a mild dissociative identity disorder. In the end, with the male lead's steadfast support and patience, she accepts reality and recovers.

P.S. A heartwarming story about healing.

She is an orphan, but she has always remembered what the big brother said to her many years ago: Since we live in the sunlight, we must uphold justice. We must bring the warm light to every dark corner, and make becoming a hero our faith. Then, when she was eighteen, she met a real hero.

Xing Ming, twenty-eight years old, a narcotics police officer with ten years on the force. He has trained countless outstanding undercover agents and never once failed.

But he was nothing like the hero she had imagined. He was neither imposing nor spirited. He never smiled, always silent, like a defeated man weighed down by troubles. Only the occasional flash of ruthless determination in his eyes showed that his old edge remained.

The night before the operation began, he granted her a wish. "After tonight, none of us knows what will happen. You can ask for one thing. If I can do it, I'll grant it. Think of it as a last wish."

Xiang Yang tugged at the corner of her mouth. "You really don't believe in me, do you? If you'll grant anything I ask, then I want to..."

When he heard the last two words, he put out the cigarette in his hand. "Have some self-respect!"

Xiang Yang snorted. "Didn't you say it was a last wish? If I'm about to die, why should I care about self-respect? Just give me an answer: yes or no?"

He really did think it over for a moment before replying with two words: "All right."

Years later, she returned. The person beside her was no longer as sharp-tongued as he had been back then. "Do you regret sending me away?"

"No. A police officer catches criminals. We never regret it..." The cigarette in his hand glowed and dimmed. Rings of smoke drifted out and turned into a pale, dense fog. "But... it hurts so much... Still, I'm glad, so glad you came back..."

The man raised his head and forced the warm liquid in his eyes back.

This was Xing Ming: steel and iron, every scar on his body etched with a story. He said it hurt. He cried. It was the finest confession of love.

P.S. Adapted from the background story of Innocent. A story about fighting organized crime, with a powerful male lead and a powerful female lead. The male lead is sexually inexperienced; the female lead is not. Readers who may find this upsetting should proceed with caution.

Please add my next book to your pre-release reading list: The Sixth Sense.

Ancient texts say that divine tombs are the graves of gods. They may be buried beneath sand, hidden in water, concealed in mountains, or suspended overhead. Each tomb is one li in area, and its burial objects include divine artifacts that may reach the heavens and link to the realms of gods and demons. The locations of divine tombs are uncertain, and only the blood of someone destined to find one can open it. Whoever obtains a divine artifact gains power that reaches the heavens.

While accompanying an archaeological team west of Yumen Pass to explore an ancient tomb, Qian Qian accidentally activates the divine artifact known as the Heavenly Eye. Beyond her five senses, she gains another sense and sees ghosts and gods that exist only in mythology. She witnesses all kinds of strange and wondrous events, and discovers her own world-shaking love with Tianze, a ghost bailiff.

The sixth sense? What is that?

To explain it using your modern science, two-thirds of the universe exists in the form of dark matter, which means it cannot be perceived by the five senses of you humans. This dark matter includes the legendary realms of gods, immortals, demons, devils, and the dead. You have to awaken the sixth faculty and the sixth sense to see them.

Then how do you awaken it?

Obtain a divine artifact. Whoever gets one gains power that reaches the heavens.

What's my divine artifact?

The Heavenly Eye. It's similar to the one that Yao Ji's family had several thousand years ago. You know Yang Jian, right? The one with an extra eye on his forehead. Yours works about the same way, but his came from a divine stone used by Nuwa to mend the sky. Yours was refined by a certain immortal from the essence of the six realms, so it's much more precious than his family's. And you don't have to go around with an ugly eye opening in your forehead. It has merged directly into your blood.

An immortal? Which immortal, and where are they now? Maybe I should give it back. What does this Sixth Sense Inn do, anyway?

After she asked that, no one answered her. Tianze, the ghost bailiff quietly sipping tea in the corner, had not said a word from beginning to end.

A thousand years ago, an immortal ascended to godhood but failed the tribulation, leaving the Heavenly Eye in the human realm.

The Heavenly Eye took root in the blood. Ghosts and gods from all six realms coveted its power and descended to search for it, throwing the human realm into chaos. To deal with the gods, demons, and monsters causing trouble in the human world, the six realms jointly established the Sixth Sense Inn. Yet behind the inn's seemingly open and honest facade, the representatives of the immortal, underworld, and demon realms each have their own missions and hidden agendas.

P.S. A large-scale story with a rich plot and romance, planned to run over a million words. I'm preparing the manuscript. Please add it to your pre-release reading list!!!

Theme: Fighting organized crime and eliminating evil.
