A Beachcombing Food Blogger in the 1970s

My next book will be a Hong Kong crime investigation story, I Solve Cases with My Underworld Informants. The blurb is at the bottom. Please add it to your bookshelf~

Yu Zhile, a beachcombing food blogger, drowns while saving someone and is reborn as a young fisherwoman in the 1970s.

Her father died a hero, her mother is unconscious, her older brother is disabled in both legs, and her younger brother is intellectually disabled. She herself was pushed into the sea and nearly drowned, and her step-grandmother is scheming to swap her into an arranged marriage.

Facing her step-grandmother's threats, she acts decisively and successfully splits the household.

Fortunately, she binds herself to a livestream System and gets back to her old line of work the very next day.

Sea cucumbers, sea urchins, giant abalone... She gathers every kind of seafood she can find!

Spicy flower crabs, fish with chopped chili, salt-and-pepper mantis shrimp... Her food livestream goes viral across the stars, attracting all kinds of viewers.

Her family never has to worry about running out of rice, flour, or cooking oil again, and the System even assigns her a top-tier butler with an eight-pack!

Although her life in the 1970s somehow takes on the flavor of a spy drama, it doesn't stop her from cooking delicious food and making friends.

Her friend is determined to make Haiyu Village the richest village within ten miles.

So the food blogger becomes a rice-noodle stall owner, selling seafood rice noodles, pickled-chili noodles, hot and sour noodles, and more, until her stall becomes the workers' canteen.

Later, she becomes a friend to many people, helping them split their households, find job opportunities, and revive the women's ocean-going crew.

In the end, she becomes the founder of Haiyu Brand, vigorously develops marine aquaculture, and sells seafood delicacies like seafood in savory sauce and spicy squid all over the country. Haiyu Village becomes a well-known wealthy village in the province.

I Solve Cases with My Underworld Informants:

Zhong Yongtang likes to spend time under the big banyan tree. There are lots of "people" there to play with her and tell her stories.

But the children at the orphanage call her a freak and band together to exclude her.

At age ten, a beautiful woman takes her home to the chaotic Kowloon Building.

After that, she gains three ghostly family members: her grandfather, a former tycoon; her grandmother, a Cantonese opera star; and her older brother, a book-loving gangster. She also has friends who worked in all kinds of fields while they were alive.

-

An accident costs Grandma more than half her accumulated merit, leaving her soul weak.

To build up merit, she completes Huangzhukeng's three-month probationary inspector training at record speed. During her probation, she uses aggressive methods to help solve cases and is fast-tracked into East Kowloon Major Crimes Unit B.

The old-school leader of Unit A bluntly says that with her unorthodox methods, she'll last less than six months before being transferred to guard a reservoir.

Zhong Yongtang says nothing, because her brains and the unbeatable informant System behind her will prove everything.

-

A headless male corpse is found hanging in the wilderness. Before the victim's identity can be determined, a second and third body appear in succession, causing public panic.

There is no identification at the scene, and the victim cannot be matched to any missing persons report. The police have no leads, and the case makes no progress.

As she watches the autopsy, Zhong Yongtang repeats what her friend, a model who died young, once said: "Those muscles are so evenly toned. He was either a model or someone who worked out a lot."

In the end, that comment becomes the breakthrough in the case.

A famous actress vanishes from the stage, then appears late at night in a red dress at an abandoned TV studio, where she meets her end. The gossip weeklies sensationalize the haunting, spreading fear everywhere.

Zhong Yongtang's underworld informants all offer clues.

Ghost A, a Cantonese opera fanatic: "I saw her leave through the backstage area."

Ghost B, who loves paranormal happenings and wandering abandoned buildings late at night: "I saw someone strangle her with a rope. It was your weak grandmother, who has to inhale sandalwood incense every day."

Ghost C, a former tabloid paparazzo: "I photographed her in a scandal back in the day!"

Bit by bit, their accounts piece together the truth of the case and uncover a cold case that has been unsolved for twenty years.

-

A matchmaker ghost calls out a case involving a wealthy heiress, a haunted elementary school where a baby cries at midnight, a ghostly murder in a locked room...

With help from their powerful informant System, Zhong Yongtang and her teammates solve one bizarre case after another. They even make the front page of the hottest weekly in the city: New Recruit Sister Sets the City Ablaze with a Ghost-Busting Scheme, Becomes a Detective Who Hunts Demons.

Meanwhile, the leader of Unit A not only turns green with rage, but also becomes a murder suspect.

P.S. The romance is minor. The male lead is Lu Shiyao.
