The Sickly Young Master Is Being Forced to Solve Another Case

Lu Ting’an transmigrates straight into the body of a frail young master from a wealthy family in Hong Kong. The young master likes men and is despised by high society. Years of nightmares have also made him selfish and dark, cruel and violent. In the end, a serial killer murders him, dismembers him, and dumps his body. The whole city of Hong Kong even treats the incident as a joke. Lu Ting’an is fearless, and doesn’t care that he’s starting from a hopeless position. That night, though, he dreams of a woman with a red cord tied around her waist. The next day, he sees her on the front page of the newspaper. Unlike in his dream, the woman in the paper is headless, her body horribly mutilated… Lu Ting’an: “(ó﹏ò?)” Can someone tell him why his dreams lead straight to crime scenes?! - Lu Ting’an, plagued by nightmares, hasn’t had a full night’s sleep in ages. After landing a cushy, mostly ceremonial post at the police station, he discovers a secret: he doesn’t dream when he’s with Gu Yingzhou, the head of the criminal investigation squad! Unfortunately, Gu Yingzhou avoids him like the plague and won’t even let him get close… With no other choice, Lu Ting’an has to solve the problem at its source Recently, crimes have been cropping up all over Hong Kong. Cold cases remain unsolved, and the public is living in fear. 【A renowned swimming champion drowns in his own pool】 【A movie star who died years ago is photographed killing someone at night. The next day, her dismembered remains are found in the woods】 【A billionaire is found hanging from a streetlight in the middle of the night, dressed in red and swaying in the wind】… The baffling cases put everyone at the police station under immense pressure. Lu Ting’an’s arrival breaks the deadlock. He can provide clues the other officers can’t find, analyze the motives behind crimes, and pinpoint the culprit among a crowd of suspects. As one grisly truth after another comes to light, Lu Ting’an is promoted again and again, becoming the hottest young detective in the city. - After Lu Ting’an becomes famous in Hong Kong, newspapers compete to interview him. Reporter: “Officer Lu, how do you solve cases like a genius?” Lu Ting’an: “I have faith in my heart. If I can’t catch the culprit, I can’t sleep.” Reporter: “I hear you originally joined the police force to pursue Gu Yingzhou, the head of the criminal investigation squad. Is that true?” Lu Ting’an: “Ridiculous. We’re both straight men!” No one knows that later that night, the straight man Gu Yingzhou leans against the head of his bed, his clothes half undone, his gaze dark. “This morning, another one of your ex-boyfriends wrote you a love letter.” Lu Ting’an: “…” So what? ^_^ Reader’s guide: 1. The protagonist has a golden finger, and it’s a huge one!! 2. This story doesn’t have a specific setting. It includes some Hong Kong expressions and details, but it’s best to treat it as an alternate universe~ Please add my next book, How Come Even a Mary Sue Novel Has Murder Cases?!, to your reading list~ Blurb Jiang Jianxu was abandoned at the entrance to a Taoist temple as a newborn. The temple’s master, Perfected Zhishun, read his fortune and found that he was destined to be a heaven-sent prodigy: exceptionally talented, showered with admiration, and destined to become fabulously wealthy! Perfected Zhishun’s eyes gleamed, so he took the baby in and raised him. Eighteen years later, on the anniversary of his master’s death, Jiang Jianxu runs out of the dilapidated, leaky temple with the last steamed bun in his mouth, still unable to understand how the all-knowing Perfected Zhishun could have misjudged him so badly. How many people in this world could be poorer than him?! - On the very first day he disrespects his departed master, Jiang Jianxu transmigrates into a Mary Sue novel. He’s shocked, and spits out his stale bun. What Jiang Jianxu expects from transmigrating into a book: A fortune-telling prodigy makes connections and helps all sorts of young masters and heiresses attract wealth, making a fortune himself. What he actually gets: A scholarship student at an elite school, expected to trick a beautiful girl into falling for him so he can become a kept man. He gets bullied, bullied, and bullied some more… Jiang Jianxu: _(:з」∠)_ Still doomed to poverty. Time to start over. The little charlatan accepts his fate and finally decides to behave himself. But can someone tell him why there are so many murder cases to solve in a Mary Sue novel? Aren’t stories like this supposed to disregard the law completely?! And his classmates, who all look so glamorous on the surface, are actually hiding… F1 has a corpse hidden in the closet at home. F2 has a head buried beneath the company’s money tree. F3’s birth mother is embedded in a sculpture. F4… After repeatedly seeing through the secrets of fate, Jiang Jianxu is at his wit’s end. Why has his fortune-telling ability made such a huge leap forward when it comes to solving crimes?! He’s scared of blood and corpses!!! … Later, people keep showing up at Jiang Jianxu’s door. The son of a billionaire: “Jianxu, I opened a shopping mall in your name. Want to go take a look?” The heir to a prominent Beijing family, known for his Buddhist devotion: “The leaves on our family’s money tree are turning yellow. My father is offering a million yuan to have you tell its fortune.” A fake heiress from a wealthy family: “I’m broke, but… but I have a handsome brother…” Inside, Jiang Jianxu sits bolt upright in bed, guiltily covering the ears of the man beside him Theme: It’s always best to rely on yourself
