Detective? Poet Immortal? Love Saint? That's Right, I'm All of Them

[Mystery Solving + Poetry Recitation + Xuanhuan + Multiple Heroines + Conquering Every Woman + Rich Detail + Tight Logic + Dimensional Overkill]

Shen Qingchuan, a detective in a major crimes unit, transmigrates into the Great Yan Dynasty as the lowliest apprentice constable.

From the start, he faces prison, and his little sister is about to be sold to a trafficker.

All he wants is to protect himself and, while he’s at it, become a wealthy gentleman.

But then, before he knows it...

He tests sulfur with a vinegar bottle, humiliates the Imperial Medical Bureau by catching a live chicken, and identifies a melted murder weapon from the frost marks left by ice nails...

At the Lantern Festival poetry gathering, “May we all live long” crushes the Imperial Academy, while “Let my loyal heart shine through the pages of history” makes the Hanlin Academy’s director rise and bow...

The most beautiful courtesan gives him a hairpin to ward off death, a female constable blushes to the tips of her ears as she changes his bandages, and the day after the princess’s victory banquet, he has to brace himself against the wall as he leaves. His little sister counts on her fingers: “Brother, shouldn’t we expand the house?”

Years later, Shen Qingchuan looks back on his past. Behind him lie enemies long since dead, and mountains of bones.

The mighty Yangtze flows east, its waves washing away heroes. Right and wrong, success and failure, all vanish in an instant.

The green hills remain, while sunsets come and go.

Shen Qingchuan, “Linjiang Xian”
