I Solve Crimes Through Painting and Escape a Time Loop

Synopsis:

Jiang Yun is a comic artist. Her mystery comic, Tonight, Here, goes viral across the internet and becomes a cultural phenomenon.

But she never imagined that one day, a murder would happen to her.

Mom is dead.

--Jiang Yun witnesses the chaotic scene, then dies amid the confusion.

But she comes back to life.

Standing on the road home, before she has even made it back.

Caught in a time loop, Jiang Yun discovers that she has gained the ability to force herself to stay calm. Whenever her emotions flare up, they are immediately subdued.

At the same time, as long as she finds a key clue, she can recreate scenes related to the murder on paper.

Just like drawing a comic.

After finding the clue "white rose," Jiang Yun draws a pair of hands paying for something, wearing a watch stopped at a particular time.

After finding the clue "appearance," Jiang Yun draws the source of an outfit, identifying the killer's accomplice.

Jiang Yun adapts the piles of drawings and posts them online, drawing countless eyes.

Details she had missed gradually come to light.

Jiang Yun: I've got the internet on my side, too!

She gradually closes in on the real killer, and in each confrontation, she manages to catch them red-handed.

"I told you I'd find you."

Blood trickles down from her forehead as Jiang Yun smiles with satisfaction.

Mu Wen has always been rational. He believes every problem has a clear logic behind it.

He never expected that one day--

Someone would give him what seemed like the most absurd explanation, and he would believe it without a second thought.

"No matter how many times you start over, as long as we meet, and as long as you want me to, I'll fall in love with you."

A comic artist who seems gentle and emotional but is actually calm and rational x a mystery novelist with perfect logical reasoning but a bit of a hopeless romantic

A bold, spirited heroine x a nurturing, fatherly hero

Advance Preview:

Shi Bu Wan is a well-known horror novelist in the 21st century.

The good news: She's dead, but transmigrates to the future and into an interstellar civilization.

The bad news: She's broke, and she's stuck with a System that got the wrong world.

Shi Bu Wan lies down in peace and accepts the unfamiliar memories.

The universe is now peaceful, and all kinds of entertainment have become incredibly advanced. People's materialist worldview is rock-solid.

No one writes horror anymore. It has gradually vanished into history, and has been gone for five thousand years.

Shi Bu Wan thinks for a moment, then sits bolt upright and decides to return to her old profession.

As it happens, the interstellar era has a sci-fi marvel for novelists:

After searching and collecting readers' emotions, it generates a personalized holographic world that can also be shared with others.

As a result, holographic worlds are colorful and varied, with plenty of strange ones among them.

Many interstellar streamers have made their fortunes and gained countless followers through them.

Shi Bu Wan pulls out a mind-computer that must be generations out of date and rapidly types out a horror short story.

Shi Bu Wan: I swear, once I'm rich, I'll get a mind-input computer! It's a godsend for authors in the interstellar era! (shouting)

One small-time streamer, browsing for stories, clicks on it out of curiosity--

Small-Time Streamer: Aaaaaaaaaah! Don't come any closer!

A one-of-a-kind holographic world is born. With the principle "If we're going to die, we're all dying together," the streamer publishes it.

At first--

Interstellar netizens: Hm? What's this new genre? Let me take a look.

After they finish:

Interstellar netizens: Aaaaaaaaaah! Somebody save me!

Jian Qi'an is a well-known sharp-tongued reviewer on the Star Network.

One of the "Aaaaaaaaaah" crowd, he's a classic case of being bad at horror but loving it anyway.

Never satisfied after finishing, he throws money at her to demand updates, forever caught between "being scared" and "wanting to read more."

Shi Bu Wan enjoys the netizens' screams and watches the balance in her account climb.

Contracts come pouring in, and horror stories return to the public eye.

And she becomes a legend in the genre.

She wonders what she should write next :)

A strong, carefree heroine with nerves of steel x an arrogant hero who's terrible at horror but loves it anyway, yet excels at gentlemanly conduct

Theme: Time will prove everything.
