Human fear and screams have always been an important source of energy to maintain the operation of the underworld. The haunted house full of terrifying legends is an infrastructure project that the underworld is proud of, until they met Gu Xiaoxiao.... more>>

"I have scared others for many years. This is the first time I have encountered someone who is not afraid of death. My career has suffered an unprecedented blow."

"When others see ghosts, they scream and feel full of fear, but she is better off. She just makes our colleagues autistic, which is outrageous!"

"Brothers have been demoralized by her. If this continues, the end of the underworld is not far away."

The Ghost King had dark circles under his eyes and gave up resistance: "Lie down, don't struggle anymore, my heart is tired."

The gold medal screenwriter lay down on the ground: "I'm going bald thinking about the script. If I can't scare her, forget it. The connotation and the plot are cliche. What's the point of my efforts? Just destroy it. Love whoever you want."

The mournful female protagonist who just wants to lie down & the arrogant male protagonist who speaks out about his physical integrity. <<less

With joy at the thought of thoroughly defeating the scoundrel who had framed me in the afterlife, I willingly closed my eyes…

“Miss! Bring the beef soup quickly!”

But when I opened my eyes again, I suddenly became a tavern owner…?!

But it wasn’t as bad as I thought. The business was doing well, and the work suited me.

Of course, I missed the ‘Eternal’ members whom I nurtured with all my heart in my previous life…

Then one day, a servant came to the tavern…

It turned out to be none other than Byulho, an idol member of the company I managed!

Starting with Byulho, I began to search for the other members of the ‘Eternal’ idol group.

Now, I only have one goal.

And that is as the ‘chairwoman,’ I will make them the best idols of the new Joseon era! <<less

One day, a mysterious figure dressed in martial arts attire with long hair trailing down to his waist appeared and introduced himself as “Heavenly Demon.”... more>>

I wonder how many would simply nod and accept that?

“It seems you find it hard to believe, so let me tell you again, you scoundrel—I am the Demon, Wih Wajin.”

Li Fanfu fell asleep in class and woke up to find that familiar car brands were all gone.... more>>

There were no BMWs or Audis, no Land Rovers or Bentleys, no Porsches or Ferraris...

Even domestic cars had regressed by ten years, with the domestic market dominated by foreign capital.

Even more absurdly, there was now an Xapp on his phone, with powerful technology and tools that came with black technology, even capable of directly exchanging car production lines!

With his phone filled with black technology, Li Fanfu declared war on all the car manufacturers.

"It's not that I'm targeting anyone, but what I mean is, everyone here is rubbish!"

Fish can't live without water, flowers can't live without the sun, luxury cars can't live without beautiful women—how can life go on without showing off? <<less

In the winter of three years ago, the first locked room mu*der in Japanese history was committed.... more>>

All of the evidence pointed to the defendant. It was certain they were guilty. And yet, they were found innocent and released. Why? Because the crime scene was a perfect locked room no one from the police or the prosecutor's office could solve.

"Since the room was locked, it was impossible for the defendant to have committed the mu*der. It's no different than if they had a perfect alibi." That was the argument of the defense, and that was the argument the judge sided with.

The ruling sent a ripple throughout Japanese society. No matter how suspicious you were or how much evidence you left behind, as long as you managed to create a locked room that no one could solve, you were immune from prosecution. With the common anti-mystery fiction talking point "there's no reason anyone would ever actually commit a locked room mu*der" completely overturned, the rate of locked room mu*ders in Japan skyrocketed.

When the police proved unable to deal with the surge of locked room crime, the Ministry of Justice published an official categorization of all known locked room tricks as an investigative aid. When that proved insufficient, Division Zero of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, a police division dedicated solely to solving locked rooms, was created. When that still proved insufficient, locked room detectives, private investigators specializing in locked rooms, were officially licensed by the state and authorized to participate in police investigations. Calling a locked room appraiser, someone specializing in searching buildings for secret passages, is now a common first step in criminal investigations.

On the other side of the spectrum, locked room agents, assassins and crime planners specializing in locked room mu*ders, have become some of the most notorious criminals in Japanese history, and even a cult worshiping the scenes of locked rooms as a way to purify the souls of the deceased has made rapid inroads into Japan.

The protagonist, Kasumi Kuzushiro, is an introverted, somewhat cynical high school student who loves mysteries. Kasumi often finds himself dragged along on bizarre journeys by his flighty childhood friend, Yozuki Asahina. Due to their staggeringly bad luck, these trips often leave them in the wrong place at the wrong time to be caught up in locked room mysteries. Fortunately, another of Kasumi's childhood friends, Shitsuri Mitsumura, is the greatest locked room expert in the world, and can always discover the truth.

Hm? How did a high school girl become the greatest locked room expert in the world?

It's simple.

She's...
