Synopsis
Pei Qingyu possesses a mind suited for the most complex forensic puzzles, yet his body is failing him. Following a heart attack, the special case captain faces immense pressure to step down, but his determination keeps him in the field. Beside him stands Xun Yin, a deputy whose unwavering support masks a growing, possessive desire. As they unravel mysteries involving vanishing bullets and obsessive familial bonds, the dynamic between the two shifts from professional loyalty to an intense romantic pursuit. The writing balances the clinical coldness of crime scenes with a suffocatingly protective atmosphere, escalating from gentle care to a more aggressive passion. This work rewards seekers of slow-burn dynamics where intellectual strength clashes with physical vulnerability. However, it may irritate those who demand rigorous scientific realism, as the professional details serve more as atmospheric flavor than strict technical guides. The stakes remain high, blending the danger of the job with the fragility of the captain's health.

Editorial Review
The completion of the story within 141 chapters ensures a satisfying conclusion without the bloat often found in longer webnovels. Its primary strength lies in the chemistry between the leads; the shift from a supportive subordinate to a more dominant partner is handled with a steady hand. However, the narrative struggles slightly with its identity. While it markets itself as a blend of suspense and reasoning, the author's own admission that the professional knowledge should not be taken seriously indicates that the detective elements are secondary to the romance. For a story centered on a forensic expert, the lack of rigorous technical depth is a noticeable flaw. Despite this, the flow remains consistent, and the inclusion of a secondary couple adds a layer of variety to the overall experience. It functions well as a character-driven piece, even if the procedural aspects feel more like a backdrop than a central pillar.
