It's Perfectly Reasonable for a Scholar to Solve a Case

[Crime Solving] [Alternate History] [Wild Imagination] [Wits and Strategy] [Cool-Headed] [A Keen Mind]

My name is Ning Fan, a top scorer in the college entrance exams who dropped out of school.

After dying in an accident, I transmigrated to an alternate historical dynasty called the Great Rong.

Given a second life,

I planned to take it easy in ancient times: pass the imperial exams for fun, go into business and become the richest man around, and follow in the footsteps of the greats by inventing a few things. But the heavens had other plans.

Wherever I go, a murder takes place.

I have the textbook Conan physique!

Locked-room murders, serial killings, supernatural cases, ghostly mysteries, and all kinds of bizarre cases keep cropping up.

While solving these cases, I was shocked to discover that I, too, was caught up in someone else's game, just another pawn on the board.

From that moment on,

I had no choice but to leave the board behind and become a player instead of a pawn.
