Translated stories I like enough to recommend. I review them so expect some spoilers (I try not to spoil major events.)
(Please read the novels on the original translator's site which can be found on novelupdates!)
In the presence of strangers, Han Chen was always handsome and cold, making it difficult for others to get close to him. He was like the frosted snow - pure, and slightly chilly. Yet, he was also like the river flowing in the dark night - quiet and moving. To many, he was akin to an unparalleled and untouchable god.
Only in the presence of Bai Jin Xi would this famous top police superintendent expose his deeply hidden shameless nature.
"Come and sit nearer to me, I won't eat you. At least, not now."
"I have never touched other women before. Do you want to check my body?"
"Bai Jin Xi, never ever leave my side. Every year, every month, every moment, every minute, every second."
In her heart, there exists an obstinate old man - one who has tirelessly loved her throughout all these years.
Thoughts:
I had a headache after reading this.
I liked most characters here, even the antagonists. Actually especially the main antagonist. He was like my 4th favorite character. The antagonists actually had personalities so although I hate their actions, I appreciate the character.
One of my favorite scenes was that, during the climax, FL was forced to choose between her partner and her friend.
And let me tell you, I did NOT expect the plot twist near the ending. I dunno if I'm just stupid so I didn't notice but I was SHOOOOK.

Moving on, I don't get how the 'memory lost' plot worked. My gosh, it's either I'm too freaking dumb to understand or just forgot the story. Probably both tbh.
This novel also has a manhua and drama adaptation (title remains the same). Personally, I didn't like the manhua. I'm sorry artist, the art style is just not my type😭 (they looked hotter in my imagination), but try it if you'd like!

Moving on, I also haven't watched the drama. Since I haven't watched it, I read the reviews about it.

Based on what I gathered, it was good! The actors (both main and side) had great chemistry and portrayal of the characters. The drama focuses more on the investigation stuff, but the romance was still sweet. The execution of the criminal organization and police shit was good as well. There are a few plot holes, but not enough to turn you off.
Check it out!
