The Angel of Death. Violence lurks beneath every delusion, waiting for its chance to claw into reality. And at the center of this chaos stands Mu Mian, a socially odd, frighteningly brilliant forensic pathologist. Her first meeting with Police Captain Fang Rui goes like this: "Hello," Mu Mian says with perfect sincerity. "Would you be willing to... donate your body to me?" From then on, nothing in his life is ever normal again. Later, during a case, Fang Rui asked with a straight face: "If I fell into the water with the victim's corpse, who would you save first?" Mu Mian answers without hesitation: "You." Touched, he looks at her, until she finishes, perfectly serious: "Because corpses float on their own." Between serial murders, psychological profiling, and crime scenes that could haunt nightmares, the pair somehow become the most chaotic investigative duo the city has ever seen, a stoic captain and the adorable little gremlin determined to dissect everything in sight... including him. ---- Content Note: This story includes crime investigations, forensic science elements, and suspenseful scenes typical of mystery-thriller genres.

Wen Ran found her crush on an ordinary blind date. At the time, he was blind and penniless. The once-proud prince had fallen to rock bottom. She took him home with unknown intentions, treating him like her most precious porcelain. She improved her culinary skills to soothe his stomach, took him to see the best ophthalmologist, and gently comforted him when he had nightmares... Their relationship grew closer, but a series of unspeakable events occurred at home. First, her underwear mysteriously disappeared. Then, she would wake up in the middle of the night and hear faint, suppressed breathing. She suspected the house was haunted. Shen Helin looked at her with his foggy, lifeless eyes: "If you're scared, I'll sleep under your bed and watch over you." His half-hearted touches weren't enough; only by getting closer could he soothe his burning desire. He had originally planned to formally confess his feelings to Wen Ran after regaining his sight, but after returning home with his eyes healed, she was gone. He searched for her frantically.

Lin Yunshu is an omega born with a genetic defect. The pheromones of most Alphas in the world cause him immense pain. He can only use the highest strength inhibitors year-round to isolate himself as a beta. But recently, his body has started acting up. He has begun to frequently faint, vomit, and have nosebleeds. "The inhibitors are being overused, far exceeding the limits your body can handle. If this continues, your genetic chain will break in three months." The doctor asked solemnly, "Have you found your only matching Alpha?" A unique match is an extremely high degree of compatibility, even rarer than 100% compatibility, a survivor of the genetic defect. Lin Yunshu remained silent for a moment, then turned and went back to the company. "Found it." Between a horrible death and losing his job, Lin Yunshu weighed his options briefly, then knocked and entered his boss's office. His only Alpha was quietly flipping through documents, head down. He naturally raised his hand, his long, slender fingers taking the folder offered to him. His expression darkened immediately. "A voluntary pay cut application." His boss looked up, his deep-set eyes slightly lowered. "Secretary Lin?" "I voluntarily accept a 30% pay cut." Lin Yunshu maintained his impassive expression. "Could you... give me some of your pheromones?" Time seemed to freeze for two seconds. A soft laugh echoed in the air. Sure enough... "No." His boss closed the folder and pushed it back untouched. "But we can get married." Zhou Yu flashed his familiar smile, the one he wore at the negotiation table: "I happen to need a suitable marriage partner." Zhou Yu was so happy he couldn't sleep all night. His aloof little secretary, whom he'd secretly loved for three years, turned out to be an omega. They were getting married. He vowed to protect him for life.

Ye Xiayu transmigrated into the body of an eleven-year-old girl living in a remote place called Stone Village.

Her mother was fierce to outsiders but submissive at home, while her so-called "brother-worshipper" mom spoiled her younger brother endlessly. Ye Xiayu: Is it too late to reincarnate again? Though they were the village chief's family, they were somehow the poorest. Why? Because her mother kept giving everything to her own relatives, while the rest of the family survived on scraps. Still, they adored her mother and daughter pair. If not for her father's deep love, they would've divorced long ago. But Ye Xiayu had enough. She cut off her greedy relatives, shook her mother awake, and got to work-harvesting sugarcane, gathering seafood, and building a business. Slowly, their fortunes turned around. Thanks to her, the whole village thrived. Just as she prepared to enjoy her seaside mansion, the annoying noble heir followed her again. "You're a dignified Prince, why are you following a little girl like me? What if people get the wrong idea..."

To avoid misfortune, she volunteered to take care of him in the Cold Palace. The Sixth Prince, Xie Jue, was cruel, ruthless, and possessed a violent temper. He was suspicious and guarded towards her, constantly mocking and threatening her. But no matter how he treated her, she remained by his side, diligently serving him without complaint. "What do you want?" he asked coldly. Yun Ling gently coaxed, "I only wish for Your Highness's well-being. Your Highness's wishes are also my wishes." Xie Jue scoffed, "A lowly person, using sweet words to deceive." Yun Ling didn't mind and continued to care for him with utmost devotion and consideration. When he ascended to the East Palace, becoming the heir apparent, second only to the Emperor, she used his influence to escape her own misfortune and seek revenge. Then, she vanished without a trace in a blaze of fire. - Zezhou, thousands of miles away from the capital.

Hearing that a carefree Prince had arrived from the capital, she feared being recognized and wrote a letter to resign. But she was informed that the Prince was merely passing through and had already left, and she was asked to continue teaching. A young servant led Yun Ling to the courtyard. As she pushed open the door, a blizzard swept in, covering the standing man with a blanket of silver. His face was cold and stern, radiating an aura of frost. He approached her step by step, "For three whole years, I've finally found you." "I'll make you my Crown Princess. Don't run away again, or I really will strangle you." __ Her sweet words were all to coax him; once you start coaxing, you must continue. ML:mad-dog temper, hopelessly in love, unhinged. FL: resilient, and strategic.

Zhou Yan was tall, sturdy, handsome, and a skilled hunter, making him a perfect husband no matter where he went. Unfortunately, he was known in the surrounding area as a wife-killer. His first fiancée accidentally drowned two days after the engagement, and his second fiancée died the day after they met after being bitten by a mad dog.
