His Gentle Gaze

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.

## My Thoughts on His Gentle Gaze "His Gentle Gaze" immediately hooked me with its intriguing premise: a blind protagonist navigating a dangerous world of crime and mystery. The blend of action, drama, psychological elements, and yaoi promised a compelling narrative, and I wasn't disappointed. ### First Impressions From the start, the intricate plot and complex characters grabbed my attention. The story dives deep into police investigations and criminal conspiracies, creating a suspenseful atmosphere that kept me on edge. I found myself drawn to both the MC and ML, eager to unravel their secrets and understand their motivations. ### What Works Well The relationship between the MC and ML is a major highlight. The story is filled with angst stemming from their hidden identities and the truths they conceal from each other. However, their unwavering love and the sacrifices they make for each other's safety make their bond all the more poignant. The plot itself is meticulously crafted, with each case intricately connected to the larger narrative. The author does a great job of building suspense and keeping you guessing until the very end. The emotional depth of the characters, especially the ML's struggles with PTSD, adds another layer of complexity and realism to the story. I also appreciated the inclusion of side characters, particularly Grayback and Guan, whose story provided a heartwarming contrast to the main plot's intensity. ### Areas of Concern While I thoroughly enjoyed the novel, I did feel like some loose ends could have been tied up more neatly. Certain characters, like Owl and Ah Bu, seemed to disappear without a proper resolution, and I was left wondering about their fates. Additionally, the fate of the girl they met in the village was left unresolved, which felt like a missed opportunity for closure. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning *Please be aware that the following section contains spoilers about key plot points in "His Gentle Gaze."* The revelations surrounding the MC's blindness and the ML's past were particularly impactful. Learning about the traumatic experiences that led to the MC's blindness was heartbreaking. The ML's struggle with PTSD and his distorted memories added a layer of psychological depth. The kitten experiment was a particularly disturbing scene, highlighting the cruelty the MC had to endure. ### Final Verdict Despite a few minor issues with unresolved plot threads, "His Gentle Gaze" is a captivating novel that I highly recommend. The intricate plot, well-developed characters, and emotional depth make it a truly memorable read. If you enjoy stories with complex mysteries, angsty romance, and psychological elements, you won't be disappointed. I'm rating it a solid 4 out of 5 stars.
