Synopsis

[CRIME/OMEGAVERSE] Was it possible for the devil to get his own happy ending? A major accident seven years ago had stolen He Juan’s memory away from him, wiping it so clean that the only things he was left with were only his name, numerous scars all over his body and a nasty side effect as a result of the aftermath. Seven years passed by and when He Juan thought he could live like a normal person again, a fateful day led him to be the prime suspect of the murder case of his neighbor who had written his name as her dying message — whom, in his defense, he had not even talked to! It was then that he met Mu Yuze, the lone wolf of the Violent Crime Investigation Unit; the cold, intimidating man with beautiful and intense midnight blue eyes who seemed to hate him at first sight for some reason He Juan couldn’t comprehend. One after another, bizarre cases intruded on He Juan's normal life and turned it upside down, bringing light to a dusty past he thought he could never remember again. In the end, he had to learn that even if he had forgotten who he once was… there were still some sins he had to atone. *** Gentle, klutzy and smiling Alpha whom nobody dares to offend for some mysterious reason x cold, possessive and cinnamon roll Omega (maybe a little yandere here and there) Additional tags: top/gong/seme protagonist, action, case-solving, organized crime, thriller, gore, slice of life, tragedy, detectives, disabled characters, murders, teamwork, investigation, yaoi, mature, past plays a big part, 1 vs 1, love interest falls in love first Find me on: Instagram: delanasiwarka Discord: delanasiwarka#1490 Discord server: bit.ly/delanadiscord

Neo noir detective novels differ from traditional ones in several ways. Firstly, the atmosphere. Neo noir has a much darker, more brooding atmosphere, often filled with a sense of hopelessness. Secondly, the characters. In traditional detective novels, the characters tend to be more one - dimensional in terms of their morality. But in neo noir, the characters are complex. The detective may not always be the 'good guy' in the traditional sense. He may use unethical means to solve the case. And the villains in neo noir are often more nuanced, not just pure evil. Also, the plotlines in neo noir are often more convoluted and less likely to have a simple, happy - ending solution like in many traditional detective novels.

Prince Liang of Great Wei was handsome and had outstanding military achievements. He was her childhood sweetheart, and her mother looked at him as if he was her own son. It was a pity that this scumbag was smiling on the surface, but his heart was killing. The smell of blood on his body had never stopped. Since she was young, she was not afraid of her parents and brothers, but only this killing god, the smiling tiger. After Shen Yungui got married, he went to war again.

The building was about to collapse, and there were countless people who were like-minded with her. She picked up her father's sword and mounted the horse. There were thousands of people waiting for her triumphant return. On the battlefield, it was said that she went deep into the enemy city alone for her husband, whose life and death were unknown.
