Jia Yu's Detective Chronicles

This novel will be VIP starting July 24, with three chapters released that day. I hope you'll continue supporting it~

After transmigrating into the body of Jia Baoyu's twin brother, he thought he was in a story about Dream of the Red Chamber, so surely his mission was to save the Jia family and all their sisters and relatives. Fine, he accepted!

But right after birth, he was adopted by another family and had only a distant clan connection to the Jia family. Fine, he didn't need to worry about the Jia relatives. He accepted!

But then why did he run into a weasel asking for a title? Was this Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio? Fine, he accepted!

But why did he keep running into this strange tavern and its mysterious owner wherever he went?

What? You're saying I'm the lover you've been searching for through ten lifetimes? He accepted... No, he couldn't!

This is a story where the protagonist thought he was in a Dream of the Red Chamber and Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio crossover, but reality told him it was actually a mystery and detective story.

Across the continents, there is a wondrous legend about a tavern called Half-Step that can connect all realms. Its owner is a mysterious big shot, and no one knows his origins. People only know that anyone who dares cause trouble in his tavern is thrown into the void and turned into "nothing," and that he has been searching for someone.

Jia Yu had always wondered who his brother really was.

Maybe it was Baoyu. They had been born from the same womb.

But one of them was the reincarnation of the Divine Attendant Shenying from the West, while the other was the Sky-Mending Stone forged by Nuwa in the East. How could they possibly be brothers?

Later, someone else told him that his brother was actually Sun Wukong, who had also been born from a Sky-Mending Stone.

Jia Yu was baffled. Wasn't he just an ordinary person with a past and present life? When had he changed species?

Important note: Most of this story diverges from the original. Fans of the original, please move along!!

Recommended upcoming novel: "The Imperial Merchant [Qing Dynasty + Dream of the Red Chamber]"

Before Cao Youlin even opened his eyes, he heard that his family was going to give up its "imperial merchant" status. The shock scared him back from the brink of death:

"W-wait, I'm not dead yet! You absolutely can't give it up!"

When he was little, Cao Youlin's soul had left his body and gone to the modern era, where he "skipped grades" through more than ten years of education. Just as he thought he was a person from the future, his soul suddenly returned to his Qing Dynasty body.

He even brought back a gift: an invisible trading device. Before he had even opened his eyes, the device issued its first mission: preserve his imperial merchant status.

After that, Cao Youlin got busy. The Chang family wanted to send a distinctive pet to a palace consort but had no connections?

No problem, I can trade you one. Whatever kind of pet you want, I've got it. Just trade me that old machine you brought back from overseas.

The national treasury was short on grain, so Kangxi came to trade with Cao Youlin.

No problem. Just bring two complete sets of the latest blue-and-white porcelain from the Imperial Household Department, and someone will be willing to trade.

That's right, the items being exchanged are all proposed by the people making the trade. Cao Youlin has no right to add even a single copper coin to the price. No matter how huge the transaction, no matter how much money passes through his hands, the poor Cao Youlin never gets rich. When he thinks of how other people in books used trading devices to make a fortune, he's terribly envious.

Kangxi is also terribly envious of Cao Youlin's "wealth." Whenever he's missing something, he thinks to seek Cao Youlin out. Now that war is coming, he wants to find some more powerful weapons. Cao Youlin searches for a while and nods.

There are weapons, but their trade value isn't low.

Kangxi: No problem. I'll use my priceless Eighth Prince as payment!

Eighth Prince: I finally get to make an appearance!

Cao Youlin: ...

Kangxi raises an eyebrow: Still not enough? Then how about I add the promise not to confiscate the Rongguo estate?

Recommended upcoming novel: "The Frail Noble Consort's Sixth Daughter"

Simply put, it's the story of a reader who criticized a novel's supporting female character and was dragged by that offended character into the Qing Dynasty to live her life over again. The heroine is timid, avoids trouble, and is a little scatterbrained, but she always manages to slap others in the face without even meaning to, making sure she doesn't suffer losses. She has a bit of lucky-fish fortune.

After this novel is complete, I'll start whichever upcoming novel has more bookmarks. In any case, I'll write them all, so don't worry about them being abandoned~~
