The General Could Never Capture the Hidden Leader ⚔️

Calling all Ancient China & time-travel fans.
Your green-flag cold general has finally arrived ^^

Ming Lei (明雷) has solved countless cases throughout his life.

No criminal can escape his eyes.
No mystery remains unsolved for long.
At least, that was what he believed.

Until he met Qing Yue (青月)

A woman surrounded by secrets.
A woman who always disappears at the wrong time.
A woman who somehow knows everything except her own feelings.

Every time he thinks he has gotten closer to her, another secret appears.
Another mystery.
Another person he knows nothing about.

When he asks for answers, she changes the subject.
When he gets jealous, she discusses a murder case.
When he finally loses his patience...

she still doesn't understand why.
Solving a serial murder case might be difficult.
Understanding Qing Yue, however, may prove impossible.

"I was upset. She knew I was upset, so she stopped me..."
"Yeah... to discuss the case." Qing Ming cut off Ming Lei's sentence before bursting into another fit of laughter.
This time, even Wen Hai simply put down the teacup in his hand. Tea spilled onto the table because he could no longer control his laughter.
"It would have been better if she had simply let me leave. At least then I could convince myself she didn't notice. But she stopped me..."
"To discuss the case." They spoke in unison. "We heard it three times already."

Not only had Ming Lei failed to receive any useful comfort, but he was now being attacked from both sides. This entire trip had been a mistake. He should have stayed in his study. At least the documents wouldn't laugh at him.
