[Modern urban setting] + [Spiritual Qi Revival] + [Suspense] + [Accident-prone constitution] + [The protagonist can’t stay human]
A car accident and a shower of celestial dew turn Xu Nuan into a rat crouching beside a trash can, where she witnesses a murder. At first, she thinks she’s just unlucky or cursed. Later, she realizes it might simply be hereditary.
How is that even possible? Does it mean her ancestors might not have been human either? Xu Nuan can barely bring herself to look at the family tree.
Fluffy little creatures are cute, sure, but it’s a different story when you turn into one yourself.
In the first month after waking up from the car accident, Xu Nuan witnesses a murder-for-hire. The police suspect she’s involved. In the second month, she sees a vengeful ghost kill someone, and the police suspect she’s mentally ill…
After that, the world gets stranger and stranger, and the cases more and more outrageous. Everyone says it’s the Spiritual Qi Revival. The police finally stop doubting her and instead ask for her help: “Xu Nuan, what do you make of this case?”
By day, Xu Nuan is an ordinary student in everyone’s eyes. By night, she’s the demon king of rumor, punishing the wicked and fighting evil.
But you there, you’re a veterinarian. Stop trying to spay her all the time. That’s way too forward.
(This is a coming-of-age story, and the male lead may not get that much page time. I’m not very good at writing romance, so having a couple in this story is an experiment. I thought I wasn’t good at it, but the male lead does end up taking up quite a lot of space. Don’t worry about the tags: I can’t remove the no-CP label, and this little author is sad about it too.)
The male lead has a very strong presence, making it impossible to imagine that there's no romantic partner between them; the two are practically inseparable in every single picture 😂
It's quite good. The episodic cases incorporate fantasy and eerie elements, and the logic is smooth. The only odd thing is the male lead's introduction. At first, I thought he was using tricks to become the "most popular person" in the animal kingdom to achieve some unknown purpose, and I was looking forward to some kind of case. But it turns out he's the male lead... However, I could accept him as the male lead later on, after all, he's a capable, handsome man with a love for plush toys!
A very good premise, blending fantasy and mythology, offering a fresh interpretation of the spiritual energy revival setting, making it interesting and somewhat original. There's a romantic pairing, both leads are strong, but the male lead is strong from the start while the female lead grows through the story. Romance isn't a major focus, and the fake romance only begins halfway through the story.
Yes, but the punishment for bad people is very small.
It's good; I really like this kind of modern story with a touch of suspense and fantasy.
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
It's very good, the concept is very novel, but there's just too little of it.
It looks great, keep it up! 👍👍👍
It looks great and is quite original, but it's a bit short.
