So there is Zhang Shenran who is this guy who is completely in love with Cheng Zixin, and has been for years. He only waited so long because she was with someone at the time, but now that she is single again he finally approaches her. They happen to work in buildings that are facing opposite of each other and communicate through sticky notes and hand signals behind their office windows. However, Shenran has a bad tendency to be distracted/lured by other women despite how much he likes Zixin. He claims it is due to his "high testosterone level", which ultimately is what causes problems in the development of their relationship. Then there is Fang Qihong, the "Martian." He is morally speaking the popular choice because of the whole concept: 9 out of 10 men cheat, the last one is thinking about it and the 11th one is neither (Martian), which would be this guy. He is first introduced to the story when he saves Zixin from a car accident. At the time he dressed and acted like a homeless person, but was actually an architect who lost all inspiration and started drinking. However he becomes the one who cheers Zixin up from her last relationship, and she also inspires him to work again.
There ends up being so much bouncing back and forth (done in an annoying but comedic way where I ended up not minding it at all) and it actually leaves the viewers trying to guess who the female protagonist will end up with.

The story revolves around Ji Bai and Xu Xu, who are cops. At first Ji Bai is not happy with Xu Xu’s qualifications in joining the team and asks her to retake the physical exam in three months. She is known to be a genius because of her ability to psychologically analyze situations and people, that’s what got her a spot on the team, but her physical ability fails to meet the expectations that Ji Bai holds for his team and for becoming a cop. The two work together to help one another with their problems, and to solve the crimes committed and uncover who is behind it all. Starting in China with a kidnapping crime and eventually they make their way to Myanmar where they put a stop to a huge drug and human trafficking business.
Overall, the story was very well written but for this drama you need to pay close attention to the plot, as it will get confusing very quickly. I had to watch the drama twice (a year later) in order to grasp some of the things I missed. The first time around I got lost and was confused how everything connected together, but the story is actually one whole case comprised of crimes that lead/link to one another. But don’t let this be a reason to not watch the drama. You can still perfectly enjoy it without picking up on every single detail of the story. If you are not looking for a heavily focused romance story, this is perfect. The romance is enough to leave you entertained but does not take away from the rest of the plot. The chemistry between the main leads are undeniably cute!
The plot was very unique and different from a traditional detective story. What I wish was different would be that instead of one big case, they could add in just a few more smaller ones. The story sometimes got overwhelming because it was always one thing after another. Right when you thought you could take a breather and pick up your phone to respond to some text messages, something sudden happens and you end up not replying. But don’t get me wrong, this is a great and very entertaining story, I didn’t even mind watching it a second time.
