During the day, he focused on his lab work, during the night, he assiduously played as a soft and gentle girl.

He kept his fake persona in mind the whole time.

His online partner wanted to see his photos. He asked his former roommate to ask his girlfriend about the name of the store she frequents. He bought a dress and a wig online to ship overnight and took photos to send to the partner.

Then the photo was accidentally leaked on the internet, a well-known beautiful player in the same server posted on the forum that what he wore was a knockoff and showed the price on her authentic lolita dress in her large wardrobe.

Not knowing that there was a difference between knockoff and generic, Yan Juan, the honest man, blushed with shame.

*The Four Great Female Constables – Book 3/4 (story of the second senior sister)... more>>

In this life, the biggest ‘unresolved case’ that Gong Wuhuan handled involved Gong Changxiao.

She was certain she had killed him but why is this man still alive?

When the man stared at her with that greedy look, he was like a cat staring at a fish.

And what made it most unbearable was that he kept calling her…….wife.

“Wife, you can’t kill your husband, do you understand? Otherwise, who will help to warm your bed and watch over you at night?”

Suddenly, she thrust out the sword……..it didn’t kill him.

“Wife, don’t fight anymore because Husband is afraid that my martial arts is too powerful and may hurt you by mistake. My heart will hurt.”

She shot out a concealed weapon…..it missed.

“Wife, you must not castrate your husband’s second brother. Without him, you won’t have happiness.

Pa! She slapped his face fiercely, hitting right on target. She was stunned.

She saw him stroking his face with enjoyment. “As Husband expected, Wife’s hands are so soft.”

Instantly, Gong Wuhuan’s heart sank to the bottom and she had a hunch.

It’s afraid this man will be haunting her like a lingering ghostly soul that refuses to scatter until her death! <<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.

It wasn’t the first time she had met him.... more>>

However, at the time, in the corridor of the KTV, he smiled with charm as he hugged the girl in his arms.

It had left such a deep impression within her.

What happened later on?

Later–

Her boyfriend, Lu Sibei, luxuriously invited his group of friends. He came late.

Someone yelled, “You have to drink for being late.”

“Why didn’t you bring your girlfriend along?”

That person only smiled lightly, “We broke up.”

“Oh, how many months was it this time?”

That person lifted his eyes, his voice flat, “That’s enough.”

In the private booth, the lights were dimly lit. Meng Shengnan drank her cola with her head down, but the drink in her tongue tasted both cold and bitter.

At the time she hadn’t realised yet that later on, she really couldn’t have anyone else but him.

_

During her youth, Meng Shengnan had fallen for someone. Yet, she knew that she would never be the type he liked, so she buried her unrequited love deep within her heart.

Many years later, she met him again in her hometown.

He was no longer the unruly and carefree youth she remembered, instead, he would often pass through the old streets of Jiangcheng in a pair of flip-flops. The first time they met again, he stared at her, unshaven, his eyes full of untold stories.

Her heart raced and he chased after her relentlessly. For her, he got his act together, started all from nothing, and wiped away his past humiliations. It was as if he had responded to the words she had written many years ago in the book she had gifted him: “In the days where the flower of youth blooms, I want to help him find his way after losing his path.” <<less

A dream where someone with the same face as me said, “I don’t want to be the wife of a beast even if I die. So exchange your life with me.”

After that, I woke up in a room belonging to a large mansion that I had never seen before.

Tigers, rabbits, dogs, raccoons, animals with names I don’t understand.

I don’t understand their language either.

And the lion, who seems to be the owner of the mansion, is somewhat intimidating.

Xu Qi was jealous of Liao Jinxue.... more>>

He knew that the pair of shoes on Liao Jinxue’s feet would require his salary of three months. Every diamond on the watch on his wrist was genuine, the elegant cypress fragrance on the body exudes the smell of gold, not the shabby appearance that was there ten years ago.

Xu Qi hated Liao Jinxue.

He saw Liao Jinxue put his arms around his wife’s waist, the woman who has always been reluctant to show a smiling face, looking shy, the ring-wearing left hand caressed and flirted with Liao Jinxue’s chest, and finally leaned on his shoulder meekly.

Thirty-year-old Xu Qi has ordinary looks, a meagre salary job, and a precarious marriage. However, he also blamed all the fault on the young man who seduced his wife – peeping, stalking and cursing Liao Jinxue to wake up, ugly and impotent.

But it backfired and God made a sarcastic joke on him.

After waking up with a hangover, there was a dazzling light, and there, beside him was a man with the fragrance of clear cypress wood. His handsome eyebrows and eyes coincide with every photo taken by him, like an absurd dream.

As he tried to flee hastily, Liao Jinxue pulled him back to his side, his lips were on the back of his neck, Xu Qi’s arms were tightly bound and his voice was cold, like unmelted snow.

“satisfied?”

He wished that Liao Jinxue would lose this beautiful face, his ability to seduce people, and his lavish spending. He wants Liao Jinxue to be an ugly and disgusting man, who can’t take anything away from him.

The two were going home side by side in the moist ambiance of the rain when their eyes met unexpectedly.

They had already been dating for quite some time… so she couldn’t resist and had s*x with him.

At the age of eighteen, Shen Rou was sent to the flourishing Emperor Star from the Colossal Star by his family. ... more>>

When he looked up and saw the young man who had been engaged to him since he was a child, he was stunned for a moment.

When Shen Ruo plucked up the courage to confess to Chu Xiao, he accidentally fell and knocked his head on the stairs.

Shen Ruo, who was s*upid in the eyes of others, was extremely sad because it turned out that he was just a character in a book.

The old Duke of Chu’s verbal marriage contract was nothing important in the eyes of the Chu family. It was written in the book that he was finally broken off from the engagement, but he was not reconciled to return to the impoverished Colossal Star. After racking his brains hard, he fooled around with other aristocrats and was finally kept by them to remain on the Emperor Star.

In the end, because of offending Chu Xiao’s nephew, the protagonist in that book, he was sent to a more remote galaxy by Chu Xiao. In the end, there was no news of him, and there was a high probability that he was dead.

Shen Ruo didn’t dare to have any other thoughts. He wanted to go back home. Colossal Star was a little poorer, but as long as he worked hard, he would at least not go hungry.

But Shen Ruo, who had packed up his luggage, was taken back by that violent man.

After that, Chu Xiao stopped pretending in front of Shen Ruo. <<less
