The criminal investigation squad has a terrifying figure known as the Ghost Yanluo: Ye Wu. Over the years, he has solved countless major and notorious cases.
Ye Wu is twenty-seven, unmarried, and never dates. He wears a look of abstinent indifference all day long. But he is devastatingly handsome, and whenever he steps outside, who knows how many young women flock to the precinct to moon over him.
The higher-ups have repeatedly chewed him out, warning him that if he disrupts the workplace again, he can pack his things and leave.
One day, a female intern was assigned to Ye Wu's team.
He looked at the information sheet and read: Ruan Qiao, nineteen.
A female intern joined the squad. She was nineteen, petite, and looked delicate and frail. But on assignments, she was quick and capable, never hesitating for a moment.
She had finally managed to stay on a team that never accepted women.
She was so excited she seemed to glow.
Less than a month later, Ruan Qiao heard people at the precinct gossiping about Ye Wu's romantic history.
Then one day, she saw the ex-girlfriend Ye Wu supposedly could never forget arrive at the police station. She threw herself into Ye Wu's arms, laughing and crying as if she were in a movie.
The light in Ruan Qiao's eyes went out.
She started throwing herself into several major cases, nearly dying in the line of duty more than once.
Seeing how capable she was, the leaders asked what reward she wanted.
Ruan Qiao said, "I want to transfer."
After Ruan Qiao left, Ye Wu began having nightmares night after night.
Then insomnia set in, and he could only sleep with medication.
Even then, he was plagued by endless nightmares.
Only then did he realize that Ruan Qiao had become the root of his illness.
But Ruan Qiao was already gone.
Ruan Qiao moved to a new city and began a new life.
She deceived herself into believing she had never thought of Ye Wu again.
Until one day, Ye Wu appeared before her and cornered her in the stairwell. In the dim light, he gripped her waist and pinned her against the wall.
"I'm sick," he said, his breathing ragged and his gaze burning. He lifted her chin with his fingers. "Give me my medicine."
