[Childhood friends x childhood friends. Both pure and devoted.]
Jiang Zhen, a police academy graduate with outstanding grades and limitless potential, made it from the front lines to the Criminal Investigation Team in just one year.
He was eager to make a name for himself, but then discovered that his direct superior was Song Bai, his childhood friend, whom he'd lost contact with ten years ago.
Back then, Jiang Zhen had left without a word, and Song Bai had never gotten over it.
Now, when the two enemies meet, sparks fly.
Jiang Zhen jumps off a bridge to catch a suspect, and Song Bai calls him an idiot.
Jiang Zhen helps carry a corpse, and Song Bai says he stinks.
It's as if Jiang Zhen has committed some unforgivable offense. No matter what he does, Song Bai finds a reason to say no.
Maybe Song Bai really does hate him. When Jiang Zhen finally asks to leave the team, Song Bai approves his request with just three words:
"You're not leaving."
-
Song Bai's neighbor's younger brother, Jiang Zhen, has been a little troublemaker since childhood.
He's timid and quiet, and lets people bully him.
Song Bai is frustrated by how little backbone he has, so he can only follow behind him and clean up his messes.
When Jiang Zhen gets bullied, Song Bai steps in.
When Jiang Zhen gets sick, Song Bai buys medicine and takes care of him.
Song Bai protects him with everything he's got. Then, when Jiang Zhen is sixteen, an accident lets Song Bai glimpse the most horrifying secret in his heart.
Before Song Bai can confront him face-to-face, Jiang Zhen dusts himself off and runs away.
Song Bai understands now. Jiang Zhen's refined good looks are a beautiful trap. His politeness and obedience are carefully practiced social skills. Behind his enthusiasm, he hides a knife.
Jiang Zhen stops at nothing, pays no heed to any rules, and disguises himself flawlessly.
A person like that could never make a good police officer.
So when Jiang Zhen's name appears on the local police station's roster, Song Bai doesn't hesitate to bring him onto his team.
That way, he can keep an eye on Jiang Zhen as his superior, tear off that false mask, and kick him out of the police force.
Later, Song Bai gets his wish and sees the real Jiang Zhen:
sharp, determined, fragile, walking the line between right and wrong, on the verge of falling apart.
Song Bai realizes that behind the facade he wanted to tear away lies Jiang Zhen's blood feud.

False accusations, humiliation, discrimination, bullying...
Victims wait for justice in the grip of hatred, but sometimes justice comes late.
Justice delayed is justice denied.
"The sword pierces the world because justice has been delayed and denied." - The Mishnah, Jewish Talmud
This is a story about revenge.

[1v1, both pure and devoted. Includes pregnancy and solving cases while pregnant.]
Xie Xiao is an alpha and a criminal investigator. In a single year, he racked up 150 complaints, averaging one every two days, earning the proud title of top troublemaker at the Yanan Public Security Bureau.
His written self-criticisms pile up higher than his commendations. He makes it to his eighth year at the city bureau by being willing to fight and able to take a beating. When his mentor retires, he leaves him one big gift: the informant Chu Yan.
Chu Yan is an omega who makes a living helping the police keep watch and gather information. He has psychogenic mutism.
The first time Xie Xiao sees Chu Yan, rain is pouring outside. Chu Yan is curled up in the basement where he has been staying long-term, shivering with a high fever as he listens to the rain.
Xie Xiao thinks he's trouble and turns to leave.
But this frail omega seems to latch onto him, showing up at crime scenes again and again and bringing him all kinds of insider tips.
Soon, Xie Xiao discovers that Chu Yan is mute but has exceptionally keen hearing and sight, and that his information is always accurate.
So accurate it's unbelievable, so accurate it seems as if he were the killer himself.
Xie Xiao grows curious about the past of this undercover police informant, and about the psychological trauma that left him unable to speak.
Using the excuse of caring for a patient, Xie Xiao moves Chu Yan into his own home and investigates him in secret.
But the malice lurking in the shadows comes with Chu Yan, along with a string of dangers. His bachelor apartment is blown to pieces, and Chu Yan is gravely wounded, on the brink of death. Amid the flames and thick smoke, Xie Xiao actually hears Chu Yan's voice.
When Chu Yan speaks again, he calls Xie Xiao's name.
-
Language is the least trustworthy thing in the world.
Chu Yan once caused someone's death with a single sentence. Since then, death has followed him like a shadow. He hides among the crowds, unable to get too close to anyone.
He'll get them killed.
Xie Xiao is the exception. He isn't afraid to die, and he isn't afraid of Chu Yan.
He loves Chu Yan.
First, Xie Xiao gives Chu Yan the life of an ordinary person. Then he gives him a temporary mark, a home to shelter in when it rains, and finally, the language he lost long ago.
When Chu Yan relearns how to speak, his first words are, "Xie Xiao, I like you."
He wants to run away after saying it, but it's already too late.
Because Xie Xiao also gives him a child who shares his blood.
Theme: Then don't let justice be delayed.
I suddenly thought of this when I saw Xiaozhen saying that he was from Huazhou. Xiaozhen's self-awareness is really strong. When he was a child, he was forced by Jiang Qishan to forget the name "Bianliu" and was treated as a substitute for another person, who even had a face similar to his. It seemed that if he was slightly unsteady, the person inside the skeleton would really be that person... But Jiang Zhen didn't. He remembered his past clearly, remembering that he didn't belong to Zhang Ning, Huazhou, Bianliu, that night in Lintaipo, the little boy trembling under the bed, and the murderer's face that had been traced a thousand times. He was really too bitter and too determined. He carried that trembling child in his soul, from that bloody night until now. How powerful was this soul? In fact, I think the name Bianliu is very nice. Xiaozhen is like a willow tree, soft but not broken... I accidentally said too much. After taking revenge, let's make our Xiaozhen happier.
Duan probably had more than a brother-in-command relationship with Song Bai, at least not entirely.

Xiaojiang really has a lot of vests. The horses that have been lost so far can't explain who wants to arrest him, why they want to arrest him but not silence him, and why they want to arrest him.
You must let your husband see you when you are so vulnerable👀
