Synopsis

[New Mystery Novel: Detective Case Files, now updating]

At the Daifa Detective Agency, the focus isn't on detective work, but on making a fortune. That's what "Daifa" means.

There are three people at the agency: two bosses and one employee.

Boss Chai loves money. As long as the pay is good, he'll climb mountains and cross rivers to find cats and dogs without a single complaint.

Boss Liang loves food. Taking on a case that comes with meals is practically perfect.

The agency's only employee, Jiang Wan, joined six months ago, but she seems to be full of secrets.

The three of them take on all kinds of cases together, working seamlessly as an unbeatable team.

One day, Jiang Wan discovers that Boss Chai may be greedy, but he has principles.

Boss Liang may love food, but he only likes to feast when the three of them are eating together.

Three years ago, Jiang Wan was studying criminology abroad when she suddenly dropped out. No one knows why.

A cursed painting, a mysterious thief, a strange art exhibition...

All of them seem to be connected to her in some way.

What is she trying to investigate?

Or is someone lurking in the shadows, drawing her ever onward?

The Daifa Detective Agency is officially open for business.

Finding people, finding things...

If you want to know,

And you're willing to pay,

There's nothing we can't uncover.

Rising entertainment-industry star VS wild girl

Su Yunqi, nicknamed Wonton, was five years old when Wu You, nicknamed Cola, was born.

Their families were friends and lived next door to each other, so the two grew up together.

If you ask why Cola grew from an adorable little bundle into a wild girl, Wonton definitely deserves some of the blame.

Cola: "Big Brother Wonton, I want ice cream."

Cola: "Big Brother Wonton, I got into a fight. The teacher says I have to write a self-criticism. Can you do it for me?"

Cola: "I have so much homework. It'll be dawn by the time I finish, and I'll be dead from writing. Big Brother Wonton... help me with it."

They grew up together and weathered adolescence and rebellion side by side. Even after Wonton became a superstar, famous across the country, he was always busy helping Cola with her graduation thesis.

Wonton had planned since childhood to spoil Cola until she became a world-shattering menace, so unbearable that no one else would want her.

From diapers to a wedding dress, Wonton and Cola are the perfect pair.

A childhood-sweethearts story of growing up together. No, make that a wild plum and a dark horse, paired up for life.

[Coming next: Winning People Over with Poison]

Everyone knows the rule of the Poison Doctor: cure one person, take one thing in return.

As the Poison Doctor's successor, she never expected her master to casually arrange a marriage for her while saving someone's life.

Engaged to a sickly scholar?

That makes it easy to call off the engagement. Cure him, take back the betrothal token, and the marriage contract is over.

When she saw him battered and bloodied in the torture chambers of the Court of Judicial Review, she went berserk.

"If he lives, you live. If he dies, every one of you will be buried with him."

The most talented scholar of his generation: how did he end up plagued by illness today?

What secrets have been hidden over the past ten years?

[Preorder: The Soul Detective]

A brilliant consultant, both book-smart and brawny VS a rookie policewoman

Lin Lele arrived at the Special Cases Unit brimming with excitement.

Becoming a police officer had been her dream since childhood, and she was even prouder to have joined the Special Cases Unit straight out of college.

The unit handles major cases, and best of all, it has a consultant named Chai Sa.

Chai Sa never attended police academy, but plenty of people there know the stories about him.

They say he's not only handsome, but also incredibly tough, and even the academy's instructors can't beat him.

But is this timid, bookish-looking man, who seems ready to burst into tears at any moment, really the legendary Chai Sa?

Is something not quite right here?

A mystery novel about solving cases together and falling in love along the way.

[Preorder: The Heartthrob Next Door]

There's a saying in legal circles: Lin Shen is ruthless in court, always grinding his opponent's face into the dirt.

He's so handsome it makes people swoon, but anyone who dates him is doomed. He'll keep them on a tight leash, and that's why he's destined to be single.

But can any of his colleagues use everything they've learned to explain what on earth turned Lin Shen into a clingy boyfriend?

Ding An thinks the face that has always gotten her everything since childhood is completely useless in front of the handsome guy next door.

Isn't it obvious that she's interested in him?

Aren't lawyers supposed to be smart?

How can he not see it?

Until one day, the handsome, long-legged, aloof guy suddenly says, "An'an, come here and give me a hug!"

The first time Wu Xuanlin saw Ding An, she was moving into the apartment across the hall.

His first impression of her was: A woman dressed up like that would be nothing but trouble for whoever ended up with her.

He would never be that shallow.

As it turned out, he was the shallowest of all, and he would spend the rest of his life worrying himself sick over her.

Fine, then. He sentenced himself to a lifetime of worrying about An'an, with no right to appeal!
