No Supernatural Cases (Crime Investigation)

At the Huijiang Municipal Public Security Bureau's Criminal Investigation Division, Jian Congyuan, the team's newest darling consultant, has been feeling a little flustered lately and is planning to make a run for it.

His new boss, who just arrived not long ago, is none other than the ex-boyfriend he unreasonably blocked on every platform and heartlessly dumped five years ago!

Still reeling, Jian Congyuan touches his face. Thank goodness, thank goodness, this isn't his face... (literally).

But when did this man go from being a handsome, jade-like gentleman to a hideous, skinflint taskmaster?!

The "widower" Shang Yizhuo lost his wife at a young age (he refuses to admit he was dumped) and is determined to investigate the truth behind her "death." But he keeps running into obstacles and is forced to transfer out of his old position.

Three days after arriving, he realizes that every last person in this division is a real "talent." One person in particular seems unremarkable, yet is suspicious in every way, and may even be connected to the truth behind his wife's "death." Shang Yizhuo strongly suspects his wife faked her death and ended up as his subordinate, whom he's been exploiting mercilessly!

Help!

How can I get my wife to forgive me quickly?!

What do the strange patterns at the serial crime scenes mean? Are those frenzied, greedy eyes a sign of love or control? Can faith nurtured by blood still be salvation...?

One murder after another points straight to the major arson case involving the Silver Terrace cult five years ago.

Xia Ke was given a crucial role as an undercover agent in that case. He escaped the sea of flames with a new face and barely made it out alive, but was left with a severe psychological disorder.

Yet in the end, fate catches up with him. The cult's old forces return, and as a traitor, he once again becomes the target of everyone...

Lord Mishaer, who betrayed the true god, are you ready to be punished?

A secret-identity-laden, guinea-pig-like bottom with maxed-out cuteness (Jian Congyuan) × a violent, seemingly upright but actually fiercely protective top, a fake widower (Shang Yizhuo), who keeps testing the limits of his skinflint persona

- - - - -

1. The world and cases are fictional. Any resemblance to real events is purely coincidental. The cults involved in the cases are fictional, and I respect all religious beliefs. (The investigations have a relatively lighthearted tone.)

2. One-on-one, both sexually inexperienced and devoted to each other. The top is a fake widower, and his wife is the bottom. The truth only comes out two-thirds of the way through. There's plenty of mutual testing early on, and the romance takes a while to develop.

3. The bottom's new face uses borrowed advanced technology, like an ancient skin mask, not magic.

4. No overpowered golden finger, with a more realistic feel.

5. I'm a reliable writer. Let me say this three times: I won't abandon this story, I won't abandon this story, I won't abandon this story!

[Upcoming Story]

If someone asked twenty-seven-year-old Mu Rong what the luckiest and most regrettable things in his short life were, what would he say?

Mu Rong would answer without hesitation:

The luckiest thing:

When I was seventeen, the Ji family supported me, and a man named Ji Yufeng came into my short life.

The thing I regret most:

On the night we last met, why did I pretend to be drunk when Ji Yufeng kissed me? Why did I insist on waiting until my birthday the next day to confess?

The words "I love you" came years too late.

Mu Rong grew up in an orphanage, a little cabbage in a field of yellow. A couple of police officers sponsored him, and after getting into the police academy, he moved to the city. His benefactors invited him to spend the summer at their home, where he met the person he would love for the rest of his life!

He still remembers the first time he saw that man, Ji Yufeng.

It was midsummer. He wore a white short-sleeved shirt and was watering the garden. When he noticed Mu Rong, his smile shone as brightly as the summer sun.

He was the one who gave Mu Rong his first birthday that was truly his alone, introduced him to video games, and took him through the bustling, unfamiliar city.

More than that, he helped Mu Rong understand the meaning and responsibility behind the uniform he would one day wear.

When Mu Rong returned to school, he realized he had fallen for this boy, five years his senior, who was both a mentor and a friend.

But he could only bury his feelings in his heart. He couldn't, and mustn't, because Ji Yufeng was his benefactors' son. He couldn't turn him gay!

But on the night before the second birthday Ji Yufeng celebrated for him, the man kissed him first. Mu Rong decided then and there that he would confess the next day!

But after that night, Ji Yufeng disappeared...

One year, two years, three years, until the fourth year, when Mu Rong attended his "funeral."

The "body" in the tiny coffin was nothing but a bloodstained shirt. They told Mu Rong that the man he had loved in secret had died without a trace...

After returning from the funeral, Mu Rong fell seriously ill and became the person he had been before turning eighteen again.

He followed in his beloved's footsteps, caught up with him, and surpassed him...

Only then did Mu Rong understand:

Every breeze that had blown from the south over the years had carried his beloved home.

And every raindrop falling from the north now carried his scent.

1. One-on-one, both devoted and each other's first love, happy ending. The top is not really dead!

Told mainly from the bottom's perspective, following his growth from a little cabbage.

2. Volume one is set at school, volume two in the city (the top appears later in the city arc).

Light crime investigation.
