Synopsis
Police officer Xia Bingyang discovers a way to communicate with his childhood friend, Ji Zheng, across a six-year time gap. Together, they use this temporal link to solve criminal cases while navigating a long-standing, mutual secret crush. This novel reads like a blend of the time-slip communication tropes found in procedural dramas like Signal and the emotional tension of a childhood friends-to-lovers BL romance. It is perfectly suited for readers who enjoy the intersection of supernatural mystery and slow-burn romantic angst. However, those who prefer straightforward police procedurals without romantic elements should skip it. The narrative is characterized by a sour romantic atmosphere and a steady pace that balances investigative reasoning with the emotional payoff of a two-way secret love.

Editorial Review
This completed work offers a compelling synthesis of the BL genre and urban criminal suspense. The strongest element is the central conceit; using a cross-time phone connection to solve crimes provides a natural engine for both the plot and the developing relationship between the leads. With 141 chapters, the story has sufficient room to resolve its mysteries and romantic arcs. A notable weakness lies in the potential for tonal inconsistency, as the author's own descriptions suggest a blend of bloody crime and vulgar romance that may clash for some. Additionally, the very low visibility of the title suggests it may struggle to break out of a narrow niche. Overall, it is a solid genre exercise that delivers on its premise but may lack the polish of top-tier suspense novels.
