Night Voyager Against the Current

[No System] [Transmigration] [Highly Intelligent Protagonist] [Mystery]

When international police detective Lin Yan woke up, he discovered that he had transmigrated to the French Concession in Shanghai in 1923.

His new identity was that of a wastrel abandoned by his family and driven to the brink of death by creditors. The Lin family had only three days left: thirty thousand silver dollars in debt, creditors lying in wait, and a hidden hand bent on tearing the family up by its roots.

No System, no golden finger. The only thing Lin Yan had was his ability to deduce cause and effect and reconstruct the truth, honed over half a lifetime as a criminal investigator in his previous life, along with the ability to foresee danger.

Just when you think this is merely a hostile business takeover, a corpse and a banknote bearing the character “Crane” reveal that the real web has only just begun to spread.

Lin Yan realizes that the enemy he must face is not the creditors, but a hidden network blanketing Shanghai. His only advantage is a mind from a century in the future.

The game is underway. The pieces move in silence.

This is not a tale of revenge, but an unfinished game of chess.
