She was seriously ill, but she liked me. So, for now, I'll assume she's not sick. - Zhang Lu said, "Meeting you was destined, but also a gift from heaven." Intense and reserved male protagonist x mentally ill female protagonist. Exciting selected passage: He quietly walked past her, his wet hair seemingly still dripping water, strands sticking to his cheeks. Water droplets fell one by one from those pitch-black locks, staining his hair, making Su Zai momentarily feel that the flowing water would also be as black. His eyes, pitch-black, contrasted with his fair face, shining particularly bright. Su Zai looked down at the umbrella in her hand, her eyes somewhat absent-minded. A feeling of annoyance suddenly came over her, accompanied by absurd thoughts. He must have done it on purpose, he must know how irresistible he looks. That's why he deliberately got wet in the rain, deliberately walked past her. Deliberately...tempting her.

Synopsis: Longtuge was built during the Northern Song Dynasty and housed various books, artworks, and scrolls, resembling a modern-day library. The most renowned "curator" of Longtuge was Bao Zheng, the Direct Scholar of Longtuge and the magistrate of Kaifeng. This story, obviously fictional, revolves around a large family of mice and cats who unravel ancient unsolved cases within the collection of Longtuge, as well as unsolved cases brought in from various jurisdictions. While this ancient detective story retains most of the characters from the "Guxing" series, it is completely separate from the original storyline and has no connection whatsoever. Therefore, please do not confuse the two, as the plot has no continuity and stands as a unique and fresh story.
