The Dangers of Being a Coder in the Detective Conan World

I, Xia Yang, was a humanities grad at the bottom of the job-hunting food chain. Then I woke up in another world and somehow managed to switch over to a glorious career in tech.

Happiness came a little suddenly, except there was something not quite right about this world.

Why did the little kid in the red tie and blue suit standing by my hospital bed look so familiar?

The pink-haired senior who helped me enroll is super sweet, but it seems like he's secretly investigating me. The way he looks at me always sends a chill down my spine.

The guy who works with me at the cafe is also super sweet, but as my coworker, he's either learning new recipes or studying customers' psychology every day. I'm just an ordinary part-timer. He's working me into the ground!

The neighbor who helped me deal with a stalker is even sweeter, but he seems to have a bit of a yandere streak. He even said he could take care of me in place of my older brother?

The diary at home has this to say: Men are just fleeting clouds. Xia Yang, you should focus on your studies and land a job offer you love as soon as possible. Isn't that much better?

And while I'm at it, here's a friend's upcoming novel:

"[Three Kingdoms] I, Princess of the Han Dynasty, Am Sending Out Job Offers Online"

Princess Xiping Liu Xi was the most unconventional person in all of Luoyang.

Raised under the tutelage of the Daoist Shi Zimiao, she preferred weapons to makeup, and loved cockfighting and dog racing. She had quite a bit of Emperor Gaozu in her.

Everyone in the palace sighed over her.

But then, in a single day, everything collapsed, and the imperial capital was consumed by flames.

It was Liu Xi who tucked the Imperial Jade Seal into her clothes, broke into Xiliang, returned to Guanzhong, welcomed the emperor, conquered Bashu, and drew every hero of the age into her ranks.

She would bring the land back to a time of peace and prosperity.

Liu Xi had two secrets.

First, she had a cheat called [Three Kingdoms Direct Hire].

Second, about her younger brother's throne... Ahem, sorry, I have a real itch for entrepreneurship. I'm taking this dragon throne, and I'm not giving it back!

[System Message]

Ding! You have discovered the SSR-ranked fierce general [Zhao Yun] among the "Available Talents."

Liu Xi (direct message): "Zilong, you're brave enough to face any danger. Why worry about finding a wise ruler? I've got troops, horses, and territory. All I need is a victorious general to lead the charge. I've sent you an offer. Please check your inbox!"

Ding! Top strategic planner [Zhuge Liang] has updated his "Job Preferences."

Liu Xi (boldly calling out): "Mr. Kongming, the Three Kingdoms are too small a stage! Work with me, and I'll show you what an 'Han Dynasty on which the sun never sets' looks like!"

Years later, Liu Xi sat in Chang'an in her imperial robes, with "Wang Zuo" among her civil officials and the "Five Tiger Generals" at her command.

When the officials asked her the secret to governing successfully, she slapped the throne and laughed heartily. "Nothing much. I just made sure every hero in the land had a good job with benefits and a chance to fulfill their ambitions!"

Everyday scene one:

Liu Xi props one foot on a stool, raises a wine jar, and drinks with a newly recruited general.

Xun Yu rubs his forehead and quietly reminds her, "Your Highness, your posture..."

Liu Xi drains a whole jar and declares grandly, "Wenruo, you need to think bigger! How will they willingly work 996 for me if I don't drink them under the table?"

Xun Yu: "..." (I understand the logic, but could you put your foot down first?)

Thanks to my friend Xiaosong Yumi for the cover design!
