The 1990s Detective and His Zoo

Coming soon: The Beautiful Chef of the Seventies Island Kindergarten. Coming this autumn.

Veterinarian Zhou Ying is unexpectedly transported to the 1990s. Her family owns a zoo that's on the verge of closing down because no one visits. Out of her natural love for animals, Zhou Ying decides to take it over. As soon as she enters the zoo, she discovers that she can understand what the animals are saying.

A visitor arrives in the big cat enclosure and discusses a murder and corpse-disposal case with a Northeast Tiger.

Little Black Cat: Mew~ I'm scared! I saw it. It wasn't the daughter-in-law.

Zhou Ying: Who's the killer?

Little Black Cat: &%￥ Blah blah blah... Oh my, that human's a monster!

After listening, Zhou Ying sends an anonymous letter to the criminal investigation unit, along with a portrait of the killer.

The whole unit: What does this enthusiastic citizen mean by drawing two dogs?

Zhou Ying tries again and draws a new picture, this time writing the killer's full name right on it.

Everyone but the captain thinks it's a prank. How could he possibly be the killer? Until the truth comes out, and it really is him!!!

To save the zoo, Zhou Ying helps solve one bizarre case after another: a circus human-trafficking case, a dismemberment in a suitcase, a headless corpse in the morgue...

Zhou Ying becomes a renowned local genius detective, famous far and wide. When a reporter comes to interview her, they ask, "Director Zhou, do you have any special secrets for solving cases?"

Zhou Ying smiles slightly. "It's all thanks to everyone."

The camera pans over: a wild boar embroidering, pricking its trotters and weeping like a tough guy; a Northeast Tiger waving a flower fan as it dances the yangko; a gorilla proposing on one knee...

After the news airs, tourists flock to the zoo. This place really has something special.

As Zhou Ying solves more cases, the zoo's animal population grows too. The zoo expands again and again, eventually becoming the top zoo in the country. Visitors stream in every day. As Zhou Ying gains both fame and fortune, love quietly finds its way to her, too.

At last, the big bad wolf shows its tail.

Coming soon: The Beautiful Chef of the Seventies Island Kindergarten. Please add it to your reading list, mwah!

Lin Jiangwan is unexpectedly transported to the 1970s. The original owner was weak and easily bullied. After her husband dies, her in-laws try to keep her in the family by forcing her to marry her "beast in human skin" brother-in-law.

Lin Jiangwan refuses outright. She doesn't believe she can't raise her daughter on her own.

Ever since the new chef started at the kindergarten, the teachers have worried every day about the children eating too much, as well as all the problems their meals cause.

"Teacher, I love school so much! I want to come tomorrow, too!"

Teacher: Tomorrow's Sunday. I won't get a staff meal, so neither will you!

"Teacher, school takes so much brainpower. Can I have another spoonful of vegetables?"

Teacher: Ha! This parent needs to behave! The college entrance exam has been reinstated, and you want to go to university? Admirable ambition, but the high school is next door. This is a kindergarten!

Gu Jianzhang is devoted to defending his country and has no interest in romance. Later, he adopts his comrade's orphaned child. Wanting to give the child a complete family, he finally agrees to be set up on a date.

With his looks and status, plenty of young women would be eager to throw themselves at him. Gu Jianzhang isn't interested in any of them, until he meets Lin Jiangwan.

They've met twice before, and Gu Jianzhang has a good impression of her. She's divorced and has a child, but she cooks well, so he can make do.

Lin Jiangwan speaks first. "Regimental Commander Gu, you're young and accomplished. You surely wouldn't be interested in a twice-married woman like me. Even if this match doesn't work out, we can still do business. Do you need a live-in housekeeper?"

The woman across from him wears a well-fitting Bragi dress, showing off her beautiful curves.

Gu Jianzhang props up his chin. Right, she's playing hard to get. That's it.

Women who've been married before really know how to play. Exciting!

As a gentleman, he'll help make her wishes come true. He's game. Whoever falls in love first is a puppy.

Three days later, the residents of the family compound stare in astonishment as Gu Jianzhang hovers around Lin Jiangwan. If Lin Jiangwan hadn't appeared, they'd have suspected Gu Jianzhang wasn't interested in women at all.

Someone sums up the regimental commander's current state of mind perfectly: He looks like a big dog, just wanting to wag his tail and pant at her.
