During an unexpected pursuit, Nie Heng and Duan Yi both fell into the water and traveled back a thousand years into the bodies of two young men who had just died.
The two had never gotten along, but they accidentally learned that the original owners of their bodies had been lovers. Disgraced and desperate, the young men had been forced to die together.
The two of them froze on the spot...
"Y-you mean, he and I..." Nie Heng stammered, pointing back and forth between himself and Duan Yi, who glared at him, as he asked the people around them.
"Yeah. You two have been together for years. How could you forget that?" someone asked cautiously.
Everyone knew that Nie Heng, deputy captain of the city's Criminal Investigation Team Two, was gay, while Duan Yi, a forensic medicine professor at S University, was constantly pursued by men.
This has gone way too far! I'm straight!!!!! Nie Heng screamed inwardly.

To make ends meet, the two went back to their old line of work and got jobs at the county yamen.
As a result, they couldn't even walk down the street in broad daylight without stumbling upon a murder. Nie Heng sidled over with a cheeky grin and asked, "Don't you think the two of us have a natural Conan aura?"
Duan Yi, who had grown up overseas, didn't get the reference. He frowned and asked, "What does that mean?"
"Tsk, you don't even know that? It means wherever we go, someone dies," Nie Heng explained solemnly.
Duan Yi fell silent. It did seem to be true...
What good could come of a constable and a coroner showing up together?...
An incredibly capable and imaginative, but utterly ridiculous, police top (Nie Heng) x a troubled, secretive forensic medicine bottom with severe OCD (Duan Yi)
