After Binding to a Gossip System, I Solve Cases Through Variety Shows

She ranked last at the police academy and was saddled with an “Entertainment Industry Gossip System” before her older sister pushed her onto a livestream variety show as the designated mood-maker. From the start, the System warns her: Last night, male guest number three buried a bloodstained USB drive in the hills.

Lin Xi ranked last in criminal investigation at the police academy and was unemployed the moment she graduated.

Her one talent: being a couch potato.

Her one stroke of luck: getting bound to the [Entertainment Industry Gossip Frontline System].

Then Shen Che appears: a physical training instructor parachuted in from the provincial public security department, cold-faced and quiet, with a gaze that makes her feel like a suspect under interrogation.

On the very first day, he corners her in the infirmary. “Why can a graduate who ranked last pinpoint the location of a buried object?”

She holds out the USB drive. “I didn’t look at it. You need it more than I do.”

He takes it and says his first gentle words to her: “From now on, you’re not allowed out of my sight.”

Every day, the System feeds her celebrity gossip: who’s secretly married, who’s evading taxes, who met with a powerful figure late at night.

But she soon discovers that all the gossip is connected to the same case.

The livestream comments think she’s just chasing clout.

Until she reconstructs a murder in front of everyone at the variety show.

The whole internet explodes.

Shen Che watches her for a long time from behind the monitors, then murmurs, “I want her.”
