When Shi Dai suddenly transmigrates, she takes on the role of the Shi family’s young lady, the one who subjects him to countless trials, eventually leading to her demise.

The twist? She never got to finish reading the novel.

From what she knew of the plot, Jiang Baiyan was just a silent, timid, and often bullied pitiable character.

***

Jiang Baiyan had never encountered someone like Shi Dai.

After he had slaughtered all the evil creatures in the garden, the blood-stained young man, exuding a mu*derous aura, approached her step by step, his lips curling into a malicious smile, "Scared?"

Shi Dai responded, “You’re really amazing! I applaud you until I spin like a spiral and fly around the moon three hundred times! And also——you have dimples when you smile!"

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

—

After seeing her at a lantern festival with another man, Jiang Baiyan lowered his eyes, his fingers twirling her hair. He said in a mocking and sinister tone, "The mansion in the western suburbs...if I hide you there, no one will find you, right?"

Shi Dai replied, "Does it come with meals and lodging? Can I sleep in everyday? Oh, and your cooking is the best!"

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

—

Jiang Baiyan was supposed to dislike her, even hate her, but as their separation drew near, his eyes turned red and he grabbed her sleeve, pleading, "Don't abandon me, alri—”

Shi Dai responded, "Alright, alright, I’ll only have you. Mwah."

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

Xu Pei, a pheromone specialist, found himself inexplicably thrust into a pheromone-less world.... more>>

His acute sensitivity to scent made him an indispensable aide to He Yixun, yet the burden of his omega nature often entangled him in troublesome predicaments. Amidst the chaos of gunfire and chaos, his heat arrived prematurely, forcing Xu Pei to gently tap He Yixun’s shoulder, murmuring, “Sorry, I need to interrupt for a moment.”

He Yixun, in the middle of leading a tactical push-through looked at him in utter confusion: ?

Senior superintendent He Yixun had known no other reality until his encounter with Xu Pei, to which he then learned of the existence of a world unlike his own. His initial intention had been to assist Xu Pei in returning to his world, but unexpectedly, he found himself there too.

With scarcely a moment to acclimate, Xu Pei seized He Yixun by the arm and whispered, “The Speaker is arriving. Show proper deference.”

He Yixun, looking at the first-grade introductory handbook in his hands, seemed to muse silently. “So your physical constitution is different from mine.” <<less

Many years later, facing the cover reporter of Time magazine, Yi Jiayi would recall the distant afternoon when the head of the serious crime unit took her to see the body...... more>>

At that moment, she heard the wails of the deceased, saw the face of the mu*derer, and gained the ability to mentally revisit the crime scene.

From then on, Hong Kong had one less civilian policewoman who spent her time gossiping over tea and dating after work, and gained a shining star in the police force who solved every case she encountered.

Head of Serious Crime Unit: How did you know he was the mu*derer!?

Yi Jiayi: Because it was a rainy night (omitting the reasoning process, 800 words), so there is only one truth...

The mu*derer trembled, his face turned pale, speechless, surrendered, and resigned himself to his fate.

Yi Jiayi thought: I'm sorry, all of the above was made up.

As the saying goes, explanation is just a cover-up, and a cover-up is just storytelling!

Solving a case is like solving a math problem; others derive conclusions based on known conditions.

She just knows the answer directly, and the process of solving the problem relies entirely on fabrication...

Acting, pretending to be a detective, deceiving the mu*derer... resorting to all sorts of extremes, it's really difficult!

...

Ming Pao Reporter: The police force in Hong Kong calls you "Female Zhuge", saying you are both intelligent and close to supernatural. What do you think, Officer Yi?

Yi Jiayi: Haha, I'm just an (extraordinary) ordinary person.

Reporter: It's said that your home was vandalized by two thugs, and even the Flying Tigers were mobilized.

Yi Jiayi: Haha, that's just the daily routine of righteous officers protecting ordinary citizens.

Hong Kong Daily Reporter: It's rumored that the sons of Hong Kong's wealthiest, the rising young stars, and... are all pursuing you? Which one do you prefer?

Yi Jiayi shivered at the thought of the wrath of the Jealous King, not daring to be careless. She sat up straight, facing the camera, and said firmly:

"It's all rumors! As a detective dedicated to the cause of justice, my only concern is to uncover the real culprit and ensure the safety of the citizens. I have no time for romantic affairs." <<less

However, the only information I received was that the daughter of the Kalisto Duke is the true antagonist of this world. One day, while I was adapting as an aide in the household, the “antagonist” called for me.

“You are hereby dismissed from your position as an aide. Instead, I have another task for you.”

“Another task?”

“I’ve created an inspection team named after me: the Lucius Inspection Team. Working there will be your new mission.”

If there is a turning point in destiny, this must be what it feels like.

But it seemed worth a try. After all, everything happens for a reason. <<less

When Song Caitang woke up, she found herself in a coffin home surrounded by dead bodies.... more>>

A young maid squatted next to her, crying so hard that she was hiccupping. She complained that the local undertaker, the Wu family, was shameless for kidnapping Song Caitang for the sake of their idiot son, and even used their good relationship with the coffin home to trap both Song Caitang and her maid inside. If Song Caitang didn’t agree to the marriage, she would not be allowed to leave!

Out of habit from her occupation in her previous life, Song Caitang began to inspect the dead bodies.

“What a pity.”

“Exactly! Young Mistress is still young and the doctor said you’d definitely recover, so it’s not like you can’t get married in the future to someone better. Why should you suffer for the rest of your life from marrying an idiot!”

In the turbulent 1990s in Xuzhou City, crime was rampant—robberies, brawls, and serial killers made evil omnipresent.... more>>

Shen Wanwan had the misfortune of transmigrating into the life of a low-ranking police officer in Xuzhou.

Her parents were timid, her family dirt poor, and she faced an endless pile of cases to solve while dealing with unreasonable suspects daily.

Fortunately, she discovered that every night, she would transform into a small animal living in a suspect’s home!

One day, she became a cat, and the rough, burly suspect started calling her “kitty.”

The next day, she turned into a large spider, stomping around noisily.

Later, she became a mouse. The good news? She was next to a grain jar. The bad news? There was a cat beside it.

While staying in suspects’ homes, Shen Wanwan always managed to overhear crucial secrets:

Shock! The protected suspect not only had a mistress but also a fourth lover!

The intimidating thug? Actually a cat lover!

The glamorous nightclub singer? A wolf in sheep’s clothing who kidnapped girls!

Years later, Xuzhou gained a renowned detective whose cases, without exception, were solved in record time! <<less

The job was leisurely, with a stable daily routine, making it the perfect choice for a laid-back life.

Until one day, by chance, she was brought to a mu*der scene.

After the on-site investigation, the police identified a suspect and were about to summon him when Shen Qingye suddenly heard a sharp, crying voice in her ear:

[The killer isn’t Lin Xiaofeng! It’s Li Dazhi! That scoundrel upstairs!]

Shen Qingye paused, her gaze slowly shifting to the seemingly honest and kind-looking man outside the door…

From that moment on—

Major cases like the Rainy Night Serial mu*ders, the Bloody Wedding, and the Husband-Killing Case were solved at an unprecedented pace.

Shen Qingye’s peaceful life was gone forever, replaced by the birth of a new legend in the police force.

·

Yue Lingchuan, the leader of the Major Case Unit Three, was known for his godlike investigative skills and held a formidable reputation in the police force. However, he was also known for his cold, unyielding demeanor and lack of warmth.

Until one day, during an assignment, someone saw him being gentle and patient with a young woman, showing her unusual care.

Everyone couldn’t help but wonder: What kind of person could earn his favor?

It wasn’t until the resolution of a major international case, when Shen Qingye stood on the award podium receiving the highest honor in the police force, radiant and heroic, that everyone realized she was no mere pretty face. She was an unparalleled legend in the police world.

At first, Yue Lingchuan scoffed at the rumors about their relationship:

“I’m just nurturing talent. What do you all know?”

But later, as the girl’s brilliance grew and more men began to cast admiring glances her way, Yue Lingchuan couldn’t help but darken his expression.

A mysterious friend request from someone named "Scalding Hot Noodles"…... more>>

An unknown contact that doesn’t seem to exist.

A message claiming to be from her future self, knowing everything about her past.

Fang Xiaocao is completely bewildered.

Scalding Hot Noodles: Danger ahead. Don’t go home tonight.

“What kind of lunatic…?”

Rolling her eyes, Fang Xiaocao dismisses the cryptic warning and unlocks her apartment door.

Scalding Hot Noodles: At midnight, there will be knocking. If you don’t want to die, don’t turn on the light.

00:00:00 – Midnight.

A sudden knock wakes her up.

Just as she reaches for the bedside lamp, she remembers that bizarre message.

She hesitates. Pulls her hand back. Hides under the covers until dawn.

The next morning, news breaks—her neighbor, a single woman living alone, was mu*dered at midnight.

Cold sweat drenches Fang Xiaocao.

Scalding Hot Noodles: To celebrate surviving the night, head to the flea market before 3 PM. Booth #7. Buy the seventh inkstone on the left. The seller wants 80 yuan, but it’s worth 8 million.

After last night, Fang Xiaocao dares not ignore the message.

She buys the inkstone for 100 yuan.

Antique Appraisal: Imperial Qianlong Inkstone—Valued at 8 million!

Fang Xiaocao stands frozen in shock.

Following the next set of instructions, she purchases a second-hand car…

A killer who can create the perfect crime must also be the strongest ace detective.

Su Ming, who had just passed the police academy entrance exam, unexpectedly gained the ability to simulate crimes in his dreams.

Each time he simulated the perfect crime and no one discovered the mu*derer during the statute of limitations, he would gain various skills used in the crime.

After simulating the perfect crime 100,000 times, he acquired countless skills.

Su Ming, who should have become the number one criminal, instead joined the criminal investigation team after graduation.

To him, all cases seemed like child’s play, full of mistakes. Even the smallest detail or loophole could directly point to the criminal!

As he continued to solve what others considered perfect crimes and long-unsolved cases, the whole country began to call Su Ming the true ace detective.

Unable to wear even the first-class merit medal, his police rank soared five levels in a short time.

Become a criminal? Impossible!

It’s far easier to become a criminal investigator, solve cases, and achieve fame and success! <<less
