This story had lighthearted slow-moving but eventually explicit romance. It also had graphically violent crimes and an unnecessarily victimised second female lead. A bizarre combination, but somehow it kept my attention despite severe quality lapses in translation editing that got worse as the story went on. The original author has a poetic voice, particularly when describing scenery. The translator made no effort whatsoever to reveal or explain word play and idioms in the original language, which disappointed me. Overall the first third - the free chapters - was the best. The rest was mediocre.

I love the way Xu Xu’s criminal profiling skills are being applied to assess a potential romantic partner. So funny.
