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

But I love you

In her previous life, Xia Shengge had always thought that she was an illegitimate daughter who could not be exposed to the public. Her birth was a sin. He was willing to be his sister Xia Ruoling's double and shooter. Even if he had to take the blame and go to jail, he would never complain. Until the last bit of value was squeezed dry by his beloved 'family'. After she was sold, she only found out that everything was a scam before she died. When he woke up from his dream, his hatred surged to the heavens. Xia Shengge walked up to the stage from behind the scenes and stripped off all the glory of being a " sister." Her sister was a genius composer with a heavenly voice? I'm sorry, she wrote the lyrics and sang the song. Her sister was the top scorer of the college entrance examination and a top student? I'm sorry, she was the one who took the college entrance examination on behalf of me. My sister is a big idiot. His sister had countless big shots backing her up. Whoever touched her would die. Sorry, the real savior of those big shots was actually her. They turned around and praised her to the top. Her sister had a crush on Lu Jiucheng, the head of the Lu Corporation, for many years and had always hyped up that she was the only one worthy of Lu Jiucheng. Xia Shengge removed her ugly makeup and swore to take away everything that Xia Ruoling was obsessed with… No, wait! Forget it. Lu Jiucheng was a paranoid and sickly big shot. He was the famous " Life-Taking Yama " in Yun Du, and she really couldn't afford to offend him. However, when she turned around, Xia Shengge was blocked by Lu Jiucheng at the corner. He kissed her passionately on the lips." You were the one who provoked me first. Now you want to run away? Too late." * * * The nine cities of Shengge, a lifetime of gentleness. In this world, there were always some encounters because they were destined, and there were always some misses because they wanted to reunite. [The cold and paranoid sickly male protagonist who is only gentle to the female protagonist VS the reborn female protagonist who is committed to regaining her identity and taking revenge.]
