Normally, they lived their lives separately, as if they were two strangers living under the same roof.

But the peace was disrupted one morning.

The night before, Wen Yifan was still sleeping in her room, but she found herself waking in Sang Yan’s bed the next day.

Aware that she sleepwalked from time to time, Wen Yifan could only apologize and put it away as her fault. However, when the situation repeated again and again, she tried to suggest locking his door before he heads to sleep...

Sang Yan dismissed the idea, saying, “You’d just pick the lock.”

Wen Yifan tried her best to keep her composure. “Why in the world would I be able to do that?”

“Well…” Sang Yan lifted his eyes and drawled, “is there anything you wouldn’t do to climb onto my bed?”

After an awkward pause, Wen Yifan smiled. “OK, then go ahead and try.”

Now that caught Sang Yan by surprise. <<less

I knew it was a mirage; the intersection of where the sky and the ground meet in the desert.

And you were always by my side; the brightest light in the dark boundless night. <<less

The once wealthy and powerful Ryuuzen clan has been all but destroyed. Their misfortune began in 1960, when a majority of the family was wiped out when their vacation villa was buried under a landslide. However, search and rescue teams discovered something even more shocking: A majority of the bodies they discovered showed obvious signs of having been mu*dered before the landslide.... more>>

As though it were a trigger, what came to be known as "The Curse of the Ryuuzen Clan" spread throughout the descendants of the family's only survivor. By mu*der, by su*cide, by accident... it seemed none who held the name "Ryuuzen" could live to see the age of 35, and now, the family has been reduced to a single woman, lying in a hospital bed, days away from death.

Kamo Touma was once just another of the endless parade of sleazy tabloid journalists looking to exploit a prominent family's tragedy to sell magazines, but Ryuuzen Rena's kindness melted his frozen heart, driving him to quit his old job and become an investigative journalist specializing in overturning cases of false arrest. Eventually, he and Rena were married, but now, the curse threatens to steal away their happiness.

Kamo prays for a miracle, and his prayers are answered by the Hourglass of Miracles, an artifact spoken of in rumors and urban legends, said to grant one wish to anyone who obtains it.

"Meister Hora", a guide for those who obtain the hourglass, tells Kamo there is only one way to break the curse and save Rena: He must travel back in time to the year 1960 and catch the culprit of the original Ryuuzen Family massacre.

Who was the culprit of the mu*ders that took place almost 60 years ago? Why did they steal away the lives of the Ryuuzen clan? What is the true nature of the "Curse of the Ryuuzen Clan?" And perhaps most mysteriously of all... What is Meister Hora's goal in all this?

A few days after they broke up, Zheng Shuyi saw the unforgettable Rolls-Royce Phantom outside of the State Banquet Hotel.

Thinking of the scumbag and the white lotus flying away from her, she felt distressed.

Want to save 20 years of hard work? Don’t even think about it!

Do you still regard me as a relative? Well, sure. I’ll just be your aunt!

You’ll be forced to treat me with respect even when you feel so full of yourself.

At that moment, with self-fulfilling confidence, Zheng Shuyi tapped on the back seat window of the Rolls-Royce Phantom with a gentle smile on her face.

The car window slowly rolled down, and the young man looked over with his charming eyes behind his glasses.

Zheng Shuyi was quite shocked by the appearance. She thought to herself, the white lotus doesn’t look that good, but her uncle sure is handsome.

A few months later, Zheng Shuyi took the man’s hand and sat affectionately in the back seat of the Rolls-Royce. When she saw the scum and the white lotus, she hooked her fingers arrogantly to tell them to come closer.

“Shouldn’t you at least greet your elder?”

The white lotus’ face was pale. She moved over slowly and called out to the driver, “Hi, uncle.”

Zheng Shuyi: “……?” <<less

“Crazy… Dog?”

Oh, my mistake. The nickname I used to call the Male Lead just popped out.

As a promotional stunt for the game's upcoming sequel, eight real life great detectives have been hand chosen by Kurata Chikage, executive director of MegalodonSoft, to challenge each other to a match in a demo of Mystery Maker 2. Among them are Kamo Touma, a magazine contributor well known for his investigative work overturning false convictions, and his wife's cousin Ryuuzen Yuki, a recently debuted mystery novelist.

However, on the day of the demo event, the detectives are all drugged. When they awaken, they find their smartwatches are locked to their wrists and they are shown videos of their families and loved ones being held hostage. They are contacted by a Gamemaster, who tells them that if they wish to save themselves and their families, they must play a death game called "Delicious Death for Detectives".

As scheduled, the eight of them will play Mystery Maker 2's demo, and the Detectives will challenge the mu*der puzzles created by the mu*derer. If the Detectives are not able to reveal the mu*derer and their tricks before the time limit, all players will be killed.

Which is an especially big problem for Kamo, because he's the one who's been chosen as the mu*derer! <<less
