Synopsis
Jiang Yin is a criminal investigation captain dedicated to hunting criminals and restoring balance to society. During his work, he crosses paths with Liu Sichan, a high-IQ special consultant with autism, effectively breaking into Liu's isolated world. This novel reads like a romanticized police procedural, blending the genius consultant trope with a slow-burn BL romance similar to the dynamics found in Sherlock. It is designed for readers who enjoy the interplay between contrasting personalities and intellectual puzzles. However, those looking for a hard-boiled crime thriller without romantic subplots should skip it. The story is tightly paced across its completed run, with the standout quality being the chemistry between the deceptive captain and the eccentric consultant.

Editorial Review
This completed work offers a focused exploration of a professional partnership that evolves into romance. A significant strength lies in the character dynamics; the contrast between the deceptive captain and the neurodivergent consultant provides a consistent emotional hook. However, the reliance on extreme intelligence as a plot device can occasionally feel simplistic, a limitation the author acknowledges in the notes. Given the modest chapter count, the narrative avoids the bloating common in the genre, though the extremely low view count suggests it may not have the same narrative complexity as more popular titles. Overall, it is a competent, cozy mystery that satisfies basic genre expectations without offering groundbreaking twists.
