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

One key factor is its complex characters. Sam Spade, the detective, is morally ambiguous. He's not a typical 'good guy' but is driven by his own code. The femme fatale, Brigid O'Shaughnessy, adds to the allure. The convoluted plot full of double - crosses and the search for the elusive Maltese falcon statuette keep readers on edge. The dark, seedy settings of 1930s San Francisco also contribute to the noir atmosphere, making it a standout in the genre.

I, the model of the righteous path, how can I become a demon!

Shang You stood on the mountain peak and looked at the broken sky above his head as he chanted softly. Above the green sky, immortals appear, and divine light gathers in the divination of heaven. The ancient ruins of the Nine Realms were explored, and the treasures of Kunlun were locked in secret boxes. The Eight Desolates Sects started to fight, and the four sects 'prodigies danced in the sky. Now that the immortal destiny had descended upon the Nine States, who in the world could ascend? His gaze was far-reaching, and his pupils constantly reflected images of his past. After Shang You transmigrated to this world, he worked hard to cultivate and successfully entered the Green Firmament Grotto-heaven with the help of his system that could help others realize their hopes and become stronger. In the sect, his fellow disciples admired him very much and called him a genius who was willing to help others and an honest scum. Outside the sect, the disciples of Tian Ji Sect said that he was a genius who was entangled with the sect master. The disciples of Nine Realms Sky Pavilion said that he was a kind person who was entangled with the saintess. The disciples of Karakorum Immortal Mansion said that he was entangled with the sect and that he was a bastard that only appeared once in ten thousand years. Being loved by Karakorum Immortal Mansion, Shang You had always felt a great pressure. Later on, Shang You felt even more pressure. Because he was showing signs of becoming a demon. The conversation between him and the demonic witch was still vivid in his mind. "Shang You, you're destined to come to my side." "Bullshit!" Sigh, I was really young and frivolous at that time. It would have been better if I had agreed. Forget it, he didn't want to think about it anymore. It was time to risk his life. Shang You protected the lights below him and looked at the terrifying figures in the crack in the sky. He raised his sword and said angrily,"Damn it, where are the Ascendant cultivators?" Come and save me! He shouldn't have believed the words of those scammers from the Archaic Mysteries Sect! When I get back, I will beat up the people of Karakorum Immortal Mansion to vent my anger!"
