Even a Fox Spirit Wants a Secure Government Job

Lin Xianxian was struck by lightning and turned into a red-haired fox. Her life goal was promptly downgraded:

Get into a zoo and lie flat as the resident mascot.

But fate had other plans. She failed to get a position at the zoo, and before she knew it, a superstitious gang had captured her and made her their "Great Fox Immortal."

Every day, she rolled her eyes at the con artists. "Perform a miracle? Let me out for KFC's Thursday deal, and I'll perform one that'll bankrupt you!"

Then one day, a plainclothes cop with [Good Deeds +855] above his head infiltrated the gang.

Their eyes met. He narrowed his eyes. "A fox that can talk?"

Lin Xianxian: "!!!" Since when do cops have cross-species translation skills?!

For the sake of a steady government paycheck, the man and fox teamed up in no time.

From then on, the Nan City Criminal Investigation Unit's work took a decidedly strange turn.

"That person up ahead is dangerous. [Fox on alert.jpg]"

A man about to go on a revenge-fueled rampage, hacking people up in the street, was subdued. He screamed, "Let go of me! I'll kill you all! Every last one of you!!!"

"Her husband is the real criminal! [The truth is only one.jpg]"

The husband, who had been wiping away tears and begging the police to find the killer, suddenly changed his tune. "Impossible!! I couldn't have killed the wrong person! You're lying to me, you have to be lying to me!!"

Ji Zhijie rose quickly thanks to his astonishing case-solving record. Everyone praised him: "Captain Ji, your fox is even more amazing than a police dog!"

Only Lin Xianxian tugged at his sleeve, gazing up at him eagerly. "Never mind amazing... Let me quiz you. What day is it today?"

Much later, after successfully solving cold cases, decades-old crimes, terrorist attacks, and more, Lin Xianxian strode proudly onto the award stage. The police hung a whole string of commendations around the fox's neck. That's our Great Fox Immortal!

A freeloading fox spirit heroine vs. an upright, steady criminal investigation captain hero.

The heroine is a fox at first and only turns human in the middle-to-later part of the story.

The cases include ordinary crimes, supernatural elements, and old cases.

Some cases are inspired by real ones, but there are plenty of fictional details, so please don't nitpick! QAQ I just want to write a fun, satisfying story.

The golden finger is huge! Really huge! There is a storyline about turning over her abilities to the authorities, but it isn't a major part of the story and only appears in the early-to-middle sections.

Theme: Even in the direst circumstances, there is always a way forward.
