Gu Tian, the hot-blooded deputy chief who's been runner-up for a thousand years, takes issue with his new superior at every turn.

I am your most loyal guardian, protecting you until the end of time. Every hurt gives me the courage to clear the way for you. Xie Min, bottom x Gu Tian, top Reading notes: 1. This story is entirely fictional, from place names and institutions to workplace settings and administrative structures. Everything is made up by the author, so please don't judge it by real-world standards or complain that the setup is unrealistic. 2. There are no political conspiracies. All the police officers and public servants are positive, upright, and wholesome! 3. The main plot is solving cases, and the secondary plot is romance. It's a story about two older single men... Maybe my next book: please add The Foolish Top I Found in a Badly Written Novel to your reading list. Before bed, Qiu Di read a badly written danmei novel and cursed out the cannon-fodder protagonist, whose name sounded just like his. He fell asleep still fuming, and when he opened his eyes again, he'd transmigrated into the book. Well, since he's here... he won't sit around like an idiot and let others take advantage of him. Qiu Di arrives just as the original owner is showing off his signature talent as a brainless rich playboy: picking the perfect quality top from a lineup. The ten finalists have just been chosen. Every one of them is handsome, and every one of them is vicious when it comes to their future. No matter which one the original owner marries, he can't escape the original plot: his family will be destroyed, he'll end up homeless, and he'll live in poverty! Qiu Di makes a snap decision and runs away, taking Bai Rusu with him, a weak and helpless man who's been left on the street. This crippled man with an intellectual disability is actually the disabled young uncle of the protagonist, Bai Haoyuan. In the original book, Bai Rusu is a taboo subject in the Bai family. After his death, his cars, money, and property all go to his nephew, earning him fewer than three hundred words of plot. After meeting Qiu Di, Bai Rusu spends every morning wavering between staying in his wheelchair and standing up, and every night hesitating between regaining his intelligence and continuing to play dumb. Eventually, Qiu Di understands one thing: the more someone plays the victim, the darker their heart... The story has gone off the rails of the original plot, and Qiu Di works hard every day to avoid going OOC... until one day, his disabled uncle stands up! Qiu Di: Your legs? Bai Rusu: Still here... Qiu Di: Your IQ... Bai Rusu: 180... Qiu Di: Your acting... Bai Rusu: You're the better actor...
