Shen Yan transmigrates to Terra and joins the "dark and disorderly" Lee's Detective Agency, tucked deep in a shadowy alley. The boss spends his days telling fortunes and slacking off, the chef is hooked on prime-time soap operas, the black doctor moonlights as a surgeon, the college intern goes around the streets playing hero, and even the guy at the fish-ball stall next door is mistaken by the whole city for the godfather of the underworld. Shen Yan only wanted to earn enough for a hot meal and live in peace, until he discovers that his "Originium Arts" are utterly absurd: whenever he quotes a famous line from New Three Kingdoms, reality twists to match its literal meaning! Facing thugs trying to forcibly demolish a building, he blurts out, "Throw him out!" The bully immediately flies ten meters through the air and gets lodged in a garbage can. When an Originium dirty bomb is about to detonate, he shouts, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" and the towering flames reverse course and snuff themselves out. On the eve of a major upheaval, everyone is on edge, and he says, "I've spent my whole life fighting wars. Can't I enjoy myself for once? Keep the music playing, keep dancing!" In an instant, music blares out of nowhere, and even a passing officer from the Guard Bureau starts dancing to the beat. Lao Lee slowly blows a smoke ring. "Xiao Shen, this agency doesn't reimburse anyone for damaged doors." Shen Yan: "Help! I was promised an epic tale of Terra. How did everyone end up corrupted by the will of heaven?!"
