Dangerous Relations

Criminal defense lawyer Gu Mingyuan took on a financial crime case. The prosecutor handling it was named Lu Lin, a man known for his impartiality who often gave him a hard time when they discussed sentencing.

In bed, too.

Lawyers and prosecutors are supposed to keep their distance. Their clearly over-the-line relationship had to stay hidden, so the two of them tacitly kept each other at arm's length, talking only about what they wanted and never about their feelings.

But every holiday, Lu Lin would carefully prepare a gift for Gu Mingyuan, clumsily learning how to make the occasion special. For a moment, Gu Mingyuan would really feel as if they were a loving couple.

But people need more than physical intimacy. What Gu Mingyuan wanted most was a proper love that began with "I like you." Afraid of falling even deeper, one day he finally gathered his courage and asked Lu Lin to break things off:

"Let's end this. I've fallen for someone else."

Lu Lin paused, slowly raised his head, and stared at him. "Didn't we already establish that we're in a relationship?"

Gu Mingyuan: ?

A secretly passionate, abstinent, earnest prosecutor top x a gentle, refined, smiling tiger of a lawyer bottom. A touch of criminal investigation and suspense, with enemies-to-lovers clandestine affairs and a groveling ex arc. The romance is established early on, and the top later resigns, so there are no instances of abusing his position for love. Law students are welcome, but some details may not match real-world practice, so just enjoy the story without taking it too seriously.
