[Blind (fake), flirtatious shou x restrained (real), criminal investigator gong].

Ying Wan was a blind person nobody wanted. He was picked up from an alley by Yu Baiqing, who was eight years older than him.

Adult Ying Wan became a blind bartender, while Yu Baiqing smoothly graduated from the police academy and joined Fan City’s criminal investigation team.

Seven years later, there was a major transnational case in Fan City.

With their backs to the wall, the criminal group seized Ying Wan as a hostage and demanded for the captain of the criminal investigation team, Yu Baiqing, to give up on capturing them.

Ying Wan could not see, so all he could hear was the sound of a bullet being loaded.

On that day, in front of Yu Baiqing, the bandit pointed the gun at Ying Wan and pressed the trigger.

When Ying Wan came to, he realized he was no longer blind.

He’d returned to the day he was held hostage.

Having regained his sight, Ying Wan recognized the handsome, tall criminal investigator amongst the mass of people in an instant.

That was his ge Yu Baiqing, who had raised him for more than ten years.

Yu Baiqing’s bloodshot eyes were locked unwaveringly on Ying Wan, who was in the hands of the bandit. Sweat and tears intermixed as they slid down his cheeks.

“Captain Yu, shoot me if you can!”

The criminal yelled arrogantly at Yu Baiqing in the distance. “Do you dare to use the lives of a few thousand people in exchange for your brother?”

The reborn Ying Wan watched with his own eyes as Yu Baiqing raised the gun in his hands and aimed it accurately at the bandit’s heart once more.

“…I’m sorry, Little Wan.”

He saw Yu Baiqing mouth ‘I. Love. You.’

Yu Baiqing always thought that the little blind person would never know, even till the day he died, that he’d liked him for many years.

‘We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light.’

– Plato

Author’s Notes:

– This is a suspense, mystery novel with a Hong Kong-style of criminal investigation, but as a whole, it is impractical.

– Both are bigshots. Two sockpuppet spirits putting on a show about their birth (lit cigarette.jpg)

– There’s both the gong and shou’s POV, but more from the shou. Gong and shou are not related by blood, they call each other ge and di only because there is an age gap.

– 1V1, HE. Plot is complex but romance is sweet!! Please read with peace of mind~

– One last nagging statement – this is my own creative work, there is no relation to reality. Please don’t self-insert without any research. It’s a difficult environment, may readers please leave me with a way out, many thanks.

4.5/5 🌟

When I read the synopsis above, I seriously fell in love with the premise. That's why even though this novel only has a few chapters translated, I decided to read it through MTL. I had the itch to continue it even knowing that MTL sucks most of the time. This is not my first time reading MTL and fortunately it is still 70% readable and I finished it in 3 days. I think I would have rated this higher than this if I only read a more decent translation.

This... more>> is definitely a plot-driven story. The story is very intricate and complicated and it's very heavy on the police/crime investigation aspect. I love both the MC and ML and their relationship dynamic. There pretty much have tons of truth concealment between each other that made up the angst but that part of the story is inevitable because of their real identity. But the fact that despite all the obstacles, their love for each other never waver. The more they love each other, the more they have to temporarily sacrifice their feelings for the safety of the other. I love them so much! Also the plot itself is so intense!

If you're not into heavy crime investigation, huge age gap romance (8 years) and if you're uncomfortable with brothers turn romantic (they're not related in blood and Ying Wan isn't legally adopted either), you might want to stay away from this. But if you're alright with it, I highly recommend this! <<less

Absolutely love this novel!

There was a lot of suspense, and there we're quite a few times I was genuinely worried about the MC/ML safety.

The cases were very intricate and connected, and I thought it was resolved pretty well.

The MCs backstory was also very interesting.

Spoiler for ML near the very end:

... more>>
Spoiler

When the ML starts to suffer severely from his PTSD, and starts doubting if he really came back and if the MC is actually dead already and hes been imagining him this entire time, it was so heavy seeing him that way. I thought it was very well done. Seeing the ML breakdown and call out for the MC.

Also the reveal that before the rebirth he went a full 7 years without the MC but he blocked ut out of his memory and thought it was only 2 weeks...

[collapse]

MCs blindness:

Spoiler

Learning why he became blind was also so heartbreaking. Forcing a child to kill just by looking at people, to the point he'd rather go blind.

[collapse]

Experiment

Spoiler

The kitten experiment made me so sad : (getting him attached to the kitten only to threaten him with it and kill it : ((its a pretty minor scene thats only around 6 paragraphs from what I rememeber so dont worry)

[collapse]

MCs Dad

Spoiler

WHEN I GET YOUUUUUUU (also Shepard) ik he kinda tried to redeem himself but haiskeoelw

[collapse]

Side CP

Spoiler

I lovedddd Grayback and Guans story, it was cute and of course a little sad but it ended up happy.

[collapse]

Unresolved characters

Spoiler

I didnt know how to title this but, theres were a few characters that I felt we should of seen at least one last time. Like Owl and Ah Bu, while they werent sent on the mission, they should have come back at least in the extras.

Also, the girl they met in the village, what happened to her?
