Unhealthy Temptation [Criminal Investigation]

Top: Chu Siruo, a carefree playboy, a prolific PhD in psychology who publishes SCI papers, and a popular science influencer on social media. Surrounded by butterflies, he eventually becomes one himself.

Bottom: Ba You, a frosty beauty who punches thugs and kicks down brutes, has a nose as sharp as a police dog's, and can chase down a fugitive over a hundred meters in 10.56 seconds. He's been a bug killer from beginning to end.

Career Blurb:

A string of people falling to their deaths has recently occurred in Dashu City.

Like a curse linking one case to the next, people who are perfectly normal suddenly find ways to kill themselves. The victims seem to follow a particular pattern, unrelated to age, occupation, or gender.

The indiscriminate manipulation of people into taking their own lives is utterly heinous.

After his longtime partner became one of the victims, Ba You swore on his badge that he would bring the killer to justice.

He firmly believed that the truth would eventually come to light.

Romance Blurb:

Chu Ruosi thought he was the unluckiest guy alive. He'd only gone up to the roof for a little break during work, and nearly ended up a murder suspect.

Someone had fallen from the roof of their hospital. After investigating, the police concluded it was suicide. But the case also brought him face-to-face with a high school classmate, Ba You, now the head of the district criminal investigation team.

As handsome as ever!

Ba You claimed this was part of a serial murder case. According to the experts, Chu Ruosi was most likely the next target.

Chu Ruosi: "What? Didn't you say it was suicide? Officer Ba, please protect me around the clock!"

Ba You looked away from the selfie Chu Ruosi had taken with a huge grin. "I don't think that's necessary."

Could someone really manipulate such an unabashedly cheerful, almost stupidly optimistic guy into killing himself? No way.

And so their brief first reunion came to an end.

Their second reunion was at a bloody car crash.

Looking at the injured person sprawled on the ground, Ba You demanded of Chu Ruosi, who was standing there as if nothing were wrong, "Do something! Aren't you a doctor?"

Chu Ruosi grimaced. "A psychologist."

He wasn't used to this kind of thing.

As Chu Ruosi awkwardly bandaged the injured person, he complained to Ba You, who was watching without lifting a finger. "You're just going to stand there and watch? Can't you help?"

Ba You blushed. "I'm a little germophobic."

He'd pass out from suffocation.

Later, Chu Ruosi heard from a gay friend that Officer Ba had secretly visited a certain special nightclub while on leave. He smacked his thigh in regret.

If only he'd known Ba You liked guys, he would have confessed back in high school!

He boldly showed up at Ba You's place, nervously looking around his immaculate, dust-free home. Then he struck a pose that could make a whole field of weeds swoon and brazenly declared, "Baby, you're so germophobic, I'm probably the only one who could put up with you. Why don't we make do and get together?"

Ba You endured the "dirty hand" running through his hair, pressed on Chu Ruosi's stomach, and sneered, "Don't trouble yourself. My admirers stretch from the South Pole to the North Pole. If you don't even have an eight-pack, what makes you think you can confess to me?"
