I Got Tangled Up with My Brother's Archrival in the Major Crimes Unit

*My new novel, The Villain Raised by the Princess Rebels Again, is now out! Please add it to your collection~

Please also add my upcoming novel, I Dare You to Date Me~

Xu Suining has a secret no one knows about: whenever she touches a corpse, she can see the crime scene as it was when the victim was murdered.

This ability first appeared in high school, when she buried a kitten that had been hit and killed by the roadside.

Later, an accident at a get-together with friends led Xu Suining to become a forensic pathologist with the Ninghai City Criminal Police. Not long after she joined, the team formed a major crimes unit, and she was assigned to it.

The other members of her team included her older brother and his nemesis, Si Wei.

Si Wei and her brother had been classmates from kindergarten all the way through police academy. They were natural rivals who couldn't stand the sight of each other.

The reason was simple: Si Wei's uncle was in love with her mother, and her brother disapproved.

Because of her brother, Si Wei had always kept his distance from her. But ever since she joined the force, he had started acting differently. He kept showing up in front of her more and more often, and even the way he looked at her had changed.

Xu Suining found it hard to describe that look. It was like the way Nian Gao looked at a treat he really liked.

Oh, and Nian Gao was her dog.

Si Wei had had a lifelong nemesis named Ji Jianian. The guy was irritating, but he just happened to have a sister who was incredibly lovable.

She grew more beautiful with every passing year, and every time Si Wei saw her, his heart raced. But with that little punk Ji Jianian around, he couldn't get close to her.

Then one day, he got into another fight with Ji Jianian and accidentally hit his head. For several days afterward, he kept having dreams in which a voice would appear.

"Congratulations, you're the male lead of a novel!"

"It's just a shame you don't have a fated female lead."

"You and Ji Jianian's sister will never have anything to do with each other."

Si Wei: What a load of crap!

-

Ji Jianian had been bothered by something lately. Ever since their last fight, that mutt Si Wei had started acting like a different person. He no longer provoked Ji Jianian or talked back to him, and he wouldn't even fight him anymore.

Ji Jianian began to wonder if he'd hit him too hard and damaged his brain.

Then one day, he saw Si Wei standing at the entrance to his apartment complex, holding a bouquet of flowers and a bag, muttering to himself.

He quietly crept closer and heard an exchange that made his ears burn.

Si Wei: "Happy birthday, Sui Sui. This is your present. I hope you like it. And if you could like me a little too, that'd be even better."

Ji Jianian: Nobody stop me. I'm going to kill that mutt Si Wei!

Reading guide:

1. The female and male leads are three years apart in age. There are quite a few characters.

2. There are both plot and romance. The story follows the events of the novel as a whole. At heart, it's a feel-good story about the heroine growing up and finding a sweet romance along the way.

3. Some cases are based on real events, but the author has taken plenty of liberties. The main characters have plot armor, so please don't scrutinize the details.
