The Young Master Is at His Wits' End Too

Xiao Cheng never imagined that on his first day reporting to the Star Alliance Police Bureau, he would be assigned to investigate a major criminal case. While tracking down the culprit, he unexpectedly transmigrated to an ancient world and became... an orphan?

Xiao Cheng: This feels like the setup for the male lead of a transmigration novel.

An eccentric old man sees his unusual bones and remarkable talents and decides to take him as an apprentice.

Xiao Cheng: Yep, this is going exactly as expected.

Just as he thinks everything is about to follow the usual plot, he discovers that his master has been using him... to test poisons?

Xiao Cheng: ...Old man, why aren't you following the usual script?

Years later, after testing poisons for years, Xiao Cheng is frail and occasionally coughs up blood, but he survives and learns his master's strange medical arts.

Old man: “Disciple, take this jade token and go to the capital.”

Xiao Cheng sees that the token is lustrous, with exquisite relief carvings. It is clearly no ordinary item.

Is this finally the start of his rise to greatness?

Xiao Cheng: “Master, who am I supposed to find with this token?”

The old man smiles and pats Xiao Cheng on the head one last time. “You'll meet them if fate wills it.”

An unusual epidemic suddenly breaks out in several cities in the northern border region of Beiyan. Before an urgent report can reach the Great Rong Imperial Palace, an epidemic appears in the capital, thousands of miles away from Beiyan.

The circumstances are suspicious, so He Yunzhan, son of the commander of the Imperial Guard, is ordered to investigate in secret.

While following a lead, he is intercepted by a mysterious wandering doctor.

Seeing that the other man is eight chi tall, handsome, and radiates an air of detachment from the world, like an immortal who has descended from heaven, He Yunzhan assumes he's some kind of formidable character.

He's about to throw himself into a fight, but before he can even move a finger, the other man starts coughing up blood and collapses weakly into his arms.

He Yunzhan: ?

He Yunzhan: “Are you trying to scam me?”

*

A little scene:

During one investigation, He Yunzhan is framed and thrown into prison.

Xiao Cheng secretly investigates the truth and clears He Yunzhan's name.

He Yunzhan goes to Xiao Cheng's clinic to thank him, only to find Xiao Cheng with his head bowed, grinding herbs.

Remembering their previous, accidental encounter, He Yunzhan awkwardly says, “Thanks for what you did this time.”

Xiao Cheng's hands stop. He turns slightly and looks He Yunzhan up and down before smiling. “Is that how you thank someone, sir?”

He Yunzhan is speechless for a moment. “What else do you want? Money? How much?”

Xiao Cheng curls his lips into a smile and beckons He Yunzhan to come closer.

He Yunzhan has no choice but to step forward.

Xiao Cheng: “Take your clothes off.”

He Yunzhan hurriedly steps back. “What for?”

Seeing the flush on He Yunzhan's ears, Xiao Cheng chuckles and points to the medicine he was grinding. “Weren't you badly injured, sir? I'm going to apply some medicine.”

“What did you think I meant?”

A frail, cunning, highly accomplished criminal-investigation student who transmigrates × a skilled, brave, upright official's son from the ancient world

A thrilling collision between modern criminal investigation and old-fashioned detective work

P.S. 1. The top really is frail at first. He'll gradually recover later, but even then, he definitely won't be a match for the bottom in a fight. If you don't like this setup, feel free to leave. Mwah~ One thing's for sure, the top is still very capable in certain ways. (Blushing, hiding my face, and slipping away~)

2. There's a reason he tests poisons.

One-on-one, happy ending.

Upcoming story: After Clearing the Infinite Levels, I Turned into a Cat?

When Que Ming returns from clearing the levels of the infinite world, he discovers he's turned into a cat.

That's not even the worst part. The worst part is that he's about to be sent to the operating table to get his balls snipped.

At the critical moment, a handsome young man rescues him from the clutches of the vet.

He looks closely and realizes that the young man looks more and more like Jiang Ning, the kid next door who used to follow him around, always calling him “Big Brother” this and “Big Brother” that.

To get his body back, Que Ming tracks down the energy source that followed him out of the infinite world and begins another adventure clearing levels.

Only this time, there's someone new behind him: a... cat owner who loves to space out!

*

Jiang Ning has always been searching for someone from his memories.

This person lived next door, made him wooden airplanes, and chased away the brats who tugged at his suspenders.

But one day, Jiang Ning wakes up to find that the person is gone.

And everyone tells him that this person never existed.

He is even diagnosed with delusional disorder because of it.

Then one day, he rescues a black cat, and that person appears in his world once more.

A little scene:

After clearing a small world.

Que Ming calls out to Jiang Ning, who's crouched in a corner daydreaming. “Come over and loot the drops.”

Jiang Ning turns around and glances at the golden, 3S-rank item in the reward bundle. He's not very interested, and purses his lips as he holds up a fluffy ball of snow. “Can I take this with me?”

Que Ming glances at the little snow monster curled up in Jiang Ning's hands, acting cute and begging for affection, and ruthlessly says, “No.”

Jiang Ning looks disappointed. “Why?”

Que Ming: “Because you already have a cat.”

Meanwhile, the viewers watching the live stream say, “I came to watch God Ming return and crush everyone, but instead I got a mouthful of sweetness?”

A returning champion who becomes a cat but is still a top-tier powerhouse × a walking encyclopedia who loves to daydream, with a gentle and beautiful bottom

P.S. 1. This isn't a traditional infinite-flow story, and clearing the levels is fairly easy and fun.

2. At first, the top only returns to human form when he's inside the infinite world. In the real world, he's a cat. Later, he'll fully regain his human form.

One-on-one, happy ending
