[Transmigrate into a book + cultivation + two male leads, 1v1 + episodic mystery-solving + equally matched leads + from universally disliked to universally adored + a saint with private desires. His career is solving cases.]
"Beautiful, soft, and seemingly easy to push around on the surface, but rational, clever fox-demon and incubus concubine uke × cold as ice and seemingly without feelings on the surface, but emotionally clumsy, pure-hearted saint of the immortal path seme"
Su Nianqing died in an assassination plotted as revenge, then transmigrated into an obscure cultivation power fantasy novel as the fox-demon and incubus concubine of its overpowered male lead, Ling Jiuxiao. Initial affection level: -300.
The original owner was a menace who made a scene and tried to kill himself by bashing his head against a pillar. When Su Nianqing opened his eyes, disciples of the immortal sect were accusing him of murder and stealing pills.
System: [Beginner's quest: Prove your innocence! The penalty for failure is the complete loss of your cultivation, which is basically death!]
No problem. Solving cases is his old profession.
Autopsy, investigation, deduction. In less than a day, the real culprit was caught, and even the cold-as-ice male lead took a second look at him.
Su Nianqing: Great. Time to focus on my career.
The entire immortal sect thinks he's a useless pretty face, but he uses modern forensic knowledge to solve one bizarre case after another, serving up face-slapping victories each time. At night, he puts on a smile and goes to Ling Jiuxiao to raise his affection level, hoping to get rid of that awkward -300 as soon as possible.
System: Affection level +50! Su Nianqing: Mm.
System: +200! Su Nianqing: ...Mm.
System: Affection level 520! He says he wants to marry you!
Su Nianqing: ?
He was only seriously pursuing his career, so how did the saint who supposedly could never love anyone end up falling for him?
Case 1: The serial Gu murders (ongoing)
The destruction of a village in the demon realm, a family's ice coffin, an ancient tomb in the yellow sands, and more to come.
Looks good ٩(◦`꒳´◦)۶
Wow, I got some weird XP...
Looks great! Keep it up, author! ❤️
The author is a nice person, and the writing is also very good [Already hooked].
I'll give it four stars for now. The first few chapters were pretty good, but could the author please tell me if this is an older woman/younger woman story?
