Legendary Investigator: Starting With an Investigation of Tao Yuanming!

Tao Yuanming transmigrates, not back to the countryside, but into a mad world where the divine realm intertwines with the occult.

In the divine realm, he is a black-eyed outcast, rejected by the masses. In the mortal world, he is a walking calamity, feared by all.

Then he lights that oil lantern. Wherever its light shines, reality warps and the rules are rewritten!

All he wants is to quietly farm a plot of land. Instead, the peach tree he plants on a whim bears peaches of immortality overnight; the mutt he raises suddenly starts talking one day, claiming to be the fallen God of War; and his pastoral poems are revered by believers as sacred scripture capable of suppressing the occult horrors of every realm.

The divine realm sends a million troops to destroy him. Tao Yuanming sighs, lifts his oil lantern, and blows gently. The million divine soldiers, along with the twelve divine palaces, instantly turn into a line of poetry from his pen.

The gods discover in terror that the source of their power is being rewritten by him! The “Peach Blossom Spring,” “Returning Home,” and “Leisurely at South Mountain” in his writing… every phrase twists reality!

“I just wanted to farm and write poetry.” Tao Yuanming looks at the kneeling gods and shakes his head helplessly. “You insisted on forcing my hand, so now I’ll write you into my poems too.”

[Lovecraftian + Mass Misinterpretation, no System. The protagonist casually farms and writes poetry, while the whole world thinks he’s the ultimate Old God!]
