A Buddhist-Style Villain's Survival Guide

The biggest dream of this unlucky man is to save enough money to open a medical clinic. But all he did was shelter from the rain beneath the eaves outside the home of the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, and he ended up crushed beneath a collapsing courtyard wall. When he wakes up, he discovers that he's become the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review himself. He thinks he can finally enjoy a wonderful life with power, influence, money, and a wife. But it turns out that the seemingly impartial minister, famed for solving cases at lightning speed, has secretly been collecting the hidden crimes of every official at court, even the royal family. A few pieces of evidence would be enough to replace half the court's officials. Is this mere minister planning a rebellion??? He can't do this job. There's absolutely no way! So when his subordinates come to find him, he tells them to lie low where they are. Stay hidden, don't move, and try to keep it up for thirty or fifty years. The emperor also thinks highly of him. Any major case or unsolvable case where failure means death gets handed to him. To save his own skin, he has no choice but to work diligently and investigate case after case, solving major crimes and catching one, two, three, four... culprits, then uncovering one, two, three, four... people connected to them. Though he doesn't get promoted, earn a raise, or reach the pinnacle of life, he does receive plenty of praise. Even the villains' accomplices send him their congratulations. They say: Well done. ...Next time, be a little more discreet. ...We're afraid you'll drag us down with you. Another historical danmei I'm working on: After His Tribulation, My Shizun Became My Disciple After the sect leader shizun dies, Shen Yunzhou succeeds him as the next leader and becomes a living target in the cultivation world. While being hunted by various sects, he happens to learn of a way to bring his shizun back to life. All his shizun has to do is successfully overcome a tribulation in another world. Shen Yunzhou agrees without hesitation. But his shizun's tribulation is fraught with danger, and he nearly dies just after being born. To help his shizun succeed, Shen Yunzhou enters that world too. By a twist of fate, he becomes the most powerful cultivator in that world and inherits a huge sect that has no one left in it. When he finds his shizun, the boy is already five years old. The first thing he does upon seeing Shen Yunzhou is steal his bun. What else can Shen Yunzhou do but take him home? His shizun was pretty cute as a child, after all. Faced with his adorable little shizun, he firmly waves his hands. "Don't call me shizun. I don't have a disciple like you!" Shizun: "..." From then on, the master and disciple become a pair unlike any other. As for how to teach a disciple, Shen Yunzhou says it doesn't matter, as long as the kid stays alive. After all, that's how his shizun used to teach him. But as his shizun grows up, Shen Yunzhou realizes that his cheap disciple seems to look at him in a rather strange way. Why does this feel so familiar? Is teacher-student romance really that popular in the cultivation world now? Does it run in the family? Coming soon: The Madman's Room [Infinite] In Lin Siyi's memory, everything strange began the night he witnessed a murder. He saw it with his own eyes, but when the police arrived, there wasn't a single trace in the room. Faced with such a spotless crime scene, the police began to suspect something was wrong with his mind. That very night, he was pulled into a space called the Detective Game. In the building where the game takes place, every room contains an NPC with mental health problems. He must fully explore each room to clear it and earn points, which he can exchange for clues about the murder he witnessed. He must reconstruct the truth behind the case to escape the game. Fine, great. So what if they're mentally ill? It's not like I'm the only one with issues. Faced with vicious NPCs, Lin Siyi calmly ignores their demands and starts tearing the place apart as he searches for clues. What if the door won't open? Just tear it down. What if an NPC tries to drag away a teammate? Send another NPC to play with it. What if there are no clues in the room? Tie up the NPC and ask how to clear the room. The vicious NPCs snarl and bare their teeth. "What are you trying to do?!" Lin Siyi leisurely tears up the instructions given to him by an NPC. "Nothing much. I just think you're all nuts, so I want to treat you." Theme: To keep making progress, you need to use the right methods.
