[A charming, flirtatious, aloof superstar x an earnest, devoted, single-minded detective who has no sense for romance]
Zhao Xueer was famous across Hong Kong from the very day she debuted. “A voice from heaven,” “the most beautiful of beauties”... Countless titles piled up to form a crown and honor her. But at a music awards ceremony, she chose to bow out at the height of her success and announced a temporary departure from the music scene.
She then moved into film, where the Academy crowd dismissed her as a pretty face. Even so, Zhao Xueer had plenty of money and free time, and her admirers queued up from the Prince’s residence all the way to Causeway Bay.
But luck was not on her side. She got caught up in the Silver Chicken Case, then became the Rainy Night Butcher’s next target. From then on, she was a regular at the West Kowloon Major Crimes Unit. And somehow, the solemn, straight-laced Inspector Zeng became a regular at her home.
West Kowloon Police Station, stairwell.
Leaning against the wall, Zhao Xueer grew more and more convinced that it was fun to make Zeng Ze'an worry himself sick over her.
Her long, bright-red nails traced over his muscular chest. “Didn’t you swear you’d never speak to me again?”
Barely an arm’s length apart, Inspector Zeng’s eyes flickered and his throat bobbed. He caught her teasing hand. “Can you be serious for once? Don’t agree to act as bait. Don’t joke around with your own safety!”
“Oh... So Inspector Zeng is worried about me...”
The best way to hide something is to forget it completely.
But in reality, deliberately choosing to forget only made his words and actions more confused.
Until one day, the wallet he had used for years fell in front of Zhao Xueer. Before he could stop her, she saw the photo of herself tucked inside.
“Inspector Zeng, seriously? You’re a fan of mine too?” she said, never imagining that he had fallen in love with her at first sight ten years ago.
At a bar, someone asked him, “What about ten years from now?”
Zeng Ze'an’s cheeks were flushed and his words slurred. “I’ll just keep falling in love with the same person, over and over...”
