The Detective Story Time Gap Ruined My Reputation

[This novel will be entering VIP serialization on Wednesday, March 25. My next novel will most likely be an original danmei, (Transmigrate into a Book) So You Really Do Like Me. If you're interested, please add it to your favorites! Please!] [▽ Blurb ▽] Gu Yuu has known since childhood that he's different from everyone else. Other people have 365 days in a year, but he has over a thousand. Since he gets several years' worth of time in one, he learns everything very "quickly" and is considered an out-and-out genius by everyone around him. That should have been a good thing, earning him boundless acclaim... but unfortunately, he is the second generation of a liquor family. So once his extraordinary learning ability was discovered, Gu Yuu's courses changed from math, language, and foreign languages to things like C Programming: From Beginner to Hacking the Pentagon, Vehicle Operation: From Electric Scooters to Attack Helicopters, and How to Kill Your Target Without a Trace Using Ingredients Found in a Convenience Store. By the time he came to his senses, he had become an all-around powerhouse whose status could rival even Gin and Rum. As a result, all sorts of strange people began showing up around Gu Yuu. Looking at the undercover agents who could practically surround him, Gu Yuu suddenly remembered someone mentioning the witness protection program a long time ago. So he tried to subtly show the undercover agents some goodwill, hoping they'd invite him to switch sides. Not only did none of the undercover agents get what he was hinting at, but Gu Yuu even overheard some strange rumors within the organization. Following the trail, he found a mysterious forum. The pinned posts went like this: [Lord Ricard is fishing again] [Poor Whiskey Group, Lord Ricard has them eating out of his hand] [Serious discussion: Why does the new recruit look at Lord Ricard like that?] It wasn't until someone swore they had personally seen Lord Ricard make eight dates in one day this Valentine's Day that Gu Yuu finally flipped the table. He couldn't spend another day in this liquor factory! Gu Yuu seized his chance and successfully faked his death to get out. Unfortunately, it wasn't long before someone he never expected cornered him against a wall. The young man with curly hair, dressed in black and wearing sunglasses, was supposedly the latest henchman recruited by the liquor factory. Gu Yuu heard him ask through gritted teeth, "Don't you owe me an explanation?" Looking at the fake boyfriend he'd had before faking his death, Gu Yuu replied without thinking, "I didn't date eight people in one year!" Matsuda: "?" Gu Yuu: "Ah." So that's not what you were asking. Never mind, go ahead and ask. [Reader's Guide] 1. The protagonist is a gin-based drink. The pairing is Matsuda, and he will also join the liquor factory later. 2. Lots of people are interested in the protagonist, but the protagonist only has one love interest, and that should happen fairly late in the story. 3. OOC is unavoidable. I'll try to keep it to a minimum. Some parts of the timeline may be adjusted to suit the plot. 4. There will probably be some fake angst and possibly some real angst. The author has a thing for characters getting hurt, but even if I go there, it won't be too heavy. 5. Updates are usually at 9 p.m. If there's no update, I've probably skipped it, but I'll at least update according to the rankings. I won't start another novel before this one is finished. [By the way, is it Hagiwara or Ogihara? Even Baidu Encyclopedia can't agree. A friend said the original was Ogihara but got mistranslated as Hagiwara (like Horii and Horii, Tiga.jpg). Then someone else said it was Hagiwara from the start ( ). So I'm leaving it like this for now. I'm really sorry, but I really don't know ( ).] [▽ Upcoming Novel Blurb ▽] Original danmei: (Transmigrate into a Book) So You Really Do Like Me ["I don't care, I'm going to act!" Ambitious, drama-addicted bottom who fights his way to the top X Loyal dog top who thinks that if he keeps giving his sincere affection, it will eventually be noticed, believes for a while that it's mutual, and nearly waits until divorce] Shi Jingshuang is a minor actor far outside the entertainment industry's eighteenth tier. He loves acting, has exceptional skill, and is handsome, but his personality has offended people, so he has never become popular and can only take bit parts. Until one day, he unexpectedly transmigrates into a book and becomes the male lead's husband, who married him under contract to fend off pressure to settle down. In the story, his main role is to fend off the male lead's admirers, act as a tool to make the male lead's love interest jealous, and finally, because he's too greedy and refuses to step aside, cross the line into crime and spend the rest of his life in prison. Shi Jingshuang looks at the script, then at the male lead's formidable connections. He completely ignores the tangled romantic drama and zeroes in on the central question: If he had connections too, could he finally act properly? He doesn't need much help. He just wants everyone to start from the same place and compete fairly. Out of gratitude for finally being able to act properly, Shi Jingshuang readily picks up his role from the original novel, with a few improvements so he doesn't end up in prison. The male lead's admirers? Every one of the admirers who gets screen time is a high-quality rich heiress, so he should get along with them. The male lead's love interest? He's a future genius screenwriter, officially confirmed by the script, so Shi Jingshuang should build a good relationship with him. Even when Fu Wenyu drags him away with a dark expression, Shi Jingshuang doesn't forget to think: Making the male lead jealous can help bring the two of them closer. Nothing wrong with that. Later, when Fu Wenyu publicly declares their engagement, Shi Jingshuang looks at the male lead's love interest, whose face has darkened below the stage. Although he thinks the male lead's move is a little extreme this time, he still nods with professional confidence. "Yeah, exactly." This life, which was mostly peaceful despite feeling a little off, continues until Shi Jingshuang takes on a new script. To Shi Jingshuang, acting is everything. It's an extension of his soul. In other words, he can't portray a feeling he hasn't experienced himself. Since he can't find the passionate love described in the script, Shi Jingshuang decides to divorce Fu Wenyu and find someone for a once-in-a-lifetime romance. But before he can even start, Fu Wenyu crushes the plan in its cradle. "I don't agree." Held tightly in the man's arms, Shi Jingshuang feels his ribs are about to snap. Only then does he belatedly realize: Ah. So you really do like me. Theme: Where there's a will, there's a way, no matter how young you are.
