Lu Ting’an transmigrates in one step and becomes the sickly son of a wealthy family in Hong Kong City.
The young master likes men, is despised by high society, and because of years of chronic nightmares, has developed a selfish, gloomy, cruel, and violent personality. In the end, he dies at the hands of a serial killer—dismembered and dumped—yet the entire city treats his death as a joke.
Lu Ting’an is bold enough to challenge the heavens and doesn’t care about a catastrophic starting point.
However, that very night, he dreams of a woman with a red cord tied around her waist. The next day, he sees her on the front page of the newspaper. Unlike in the dream, the woman in the paper has no head, her death gruesome beyond measure…
Lu Ting’an: “(ó﹏ò?)”
Can someone tell him why his dreams are syncing with crime scenes?!

Plagued by nightmares, Lu Ting’an hasn’t had a full night’s sleep in a long time.
After parachuting into the police department with a cushy, nominal position, he discovers a secret: when he’s with Criminal Investigation Captain Gu Yingzhou, he doesn’t dream at all!
Unfortunately, Gu Yingzhou avoids him like the plague—won’t even let him get close for a little cuddle…
Left with no choice, Lu Ting’an decides to solve the problem at its source—
Recently, crimes have been occurring frequently in Hong Kong City. Cold cases remain unsolved for years, and the public lives in constant fear.
[A renowned swimmer drowned in his own pool]
[A deceased actress from years ago was caught on camera committing murder at night, only for her dismembered limbs to be found in the mountains the next day]
[A billionaire dressed in red was found hanging from a streetlight late at night, swaying in the wind]…
The baffling cases push everyone in the police force to the brink.
Lu Ting’an’s arrival breaks the deadlock.
He can provide clues no other officer can find, analyze motives with precision, and pinpoint the killer among a crowd of suspects.
As one bloody truth after another surfaces, Lu Ting’an is promoted repeatedly, becoming the hottest young detective in Hong Kong City.

After Lu Ting’an becomes famous, major newspapers scramble to interview him.
Reporter: “Officer Lu, how do you solve cases with such godlike accuracy?”
Lu Ting’an: “I have faith in my heart. If I don’t catch the killer, I can’t sleep.”
Reporter: “It’s rumored that you joined the police force to pursue Captain Gu Yingzhou. Is that true?”
Lu Ting’an: “Utter nonsense. We’re both straight men!”
No one knows that night, the “straight man” Gu Yingzhou leans half-undressed against Lu Ting’an’s bed, gaze dark and heavy.
“This morning,” he says, “another one of your ex-boyfriends wrote you a love letter.”
Lu Ting’an: “……”
So what ^_^

The shou has a very overpowered golden finger!!
The story has no specific real-world background. There are some Hong Kong speech patterns and settings, but it’s best treated as an alternate universe~
