Xuanmen prodigy Qin Yao opened her eyes to find herself in 1990s Hong Kong, as a star detective in the serious crimes unit.
Qin Yao was perfectly happy to have a steady government job as a police officer, but she was a complete novice when it came to criminal investigation.
Looking at case after case, piled with one puzzle after another, Qin Yao was utterly overwhelmed and had no idea where to begin.
But it didn't matter if she couldn't understand the cases. She might not know how to solve crimes, but she could summon spirits.
She might not be good at questioning people, but questioning ghosts was right up her alley.
Can't make sense of the clues?
No problem, let's bring in the ghost of the victim!
And so, cases that had been gathering dust at the police station for years with no leads, including murder-for-insurance schemes, human trafficking, and smuggling by fraud rings, were solved one after another in no time.
The entire station received commendations from their superiors, and the place was as lively as New Year's.
They were happy, of course, but they knew perfectly well that these cold cases hadn't been solved because their abilities had suddenly improved by leaps and bounds.
It was all thanks to the young woman who had recently joined the station!
Her investigative skills seemed almost supernatural, and her thinking was so meticulous it left no room for error. Everyone at the station practically revered her as a goddess.
Qin Yao, fake prodigy, real powerhouse: Thanks for asking!
I'm playing on a whole other level!
And so, Qin Yao, a Xuanmen prodigy, transformed into a once-in-a-century criminal investigation genius at a Hong Kong police station in the 1990s.
