The Thousand-Layered Tricks of Procedural Justice

The Three Realms' Number One Beauty Is Pretending to Have Amnesia Again

To make a living, He Xuezhou, a magpie spirit, opens a little shop in the suburbs. He sells tea and pastries during the day, but business is so poor he can't even cover the rent and utilities.

Apart from his own exceptionally gorgeous looks, there's nothing special about the shop.

As a loafer who lives by the principle that as long as he doesn't starve, everything is fine, He Xuezhou spends every day slacking off and getting by, occasionally using his old connections to handle some "minor" trouble.

Then Bureau 42, which oversees supernatural creatures, changes leadership, and a new chief takes over the Field Operations Division.

Lu Hejin is the textbook image of an upright, righteous hero from a TV drama. His "connections" are now completely useless.

He Xuezhou starts wondering whether he should pack up and run away in the middle of the night.

But it seems he can't get away?

After all, he's piled way too many debuffs on Chief Lu:

"First Life": He was a dazzling guest in the mortal realm, but abandoned his students and ran off.

"Second Life": He was a rebellious troublemaker in the Ninth Heaven, beat up his superior, and nearly started a rebellion.

"Third Life": He lost his memory and opened a little shop, only for a bureaucratic leader to block his door and make him fill out a marriage registration form?!

Leaving one long-suffering man who had chased after his wife for thousands of years on the verge of a breakdown.

"Fill this out," Chief Lu said.

"I've already filled out this month's information collection form," Boss He protested.

"Yes, but this is a marriage registration form."

He Xuezhou: ???

The serious blurb

He Xuezhou is a slightly picky little bird.

He hasn't received a gift he truly liked in many years.

One early summer morning, Lu Hejin finally managed to get a day off.

He stood outside the shop, holding a bouquet he'd ordered long ago.

"What will you do if I don't accept it?" He Xuezhou asked.

"Then the flowers I gave you must not be to your liking. There's only so much in the world, and I'll find something that makes you happy."

"What a blockhead." He Xuezhou looked at him with mild disdain.

But he was a very considerate little bird.

Just as he had, three thousand years ago, by the Jade Pool, accepted this man's love-knot.

"The Boss Personally Takes the Field to Win Them Over (Quick Transmigration)"

As the head of the Mission Department at the Quick Transmigration Bureau, Jiang Nian cares deeply for his employees. He even wrote a strategy manual himself to help them improve their skills at winning people over.

But everyone mocks him for being all theory and no practice.

Employee A: How are you supposed to make the target's affection reach 100 and their hatred reach 100 too? Just say you don't want to pay us!

Employee B: What does "three parts broken, three parts aloof, and four parts unhinged" even mean? Are we making a pie chart?

Employee C: Snap your fingers so the target knows who's boss? My god, the target is about to beat me to death. Does the boss even understand the mission?

So, amid everyone's "eager anticipation," Jiang Nian personally sets out on a mission to win someone over, ready to give them a hands-on demonstration.

[World One: The Love-Hate Saga of a Noble Young Master and a Concubine-Born Prince]

Jiang Nian: Childhood-friend openings like this are the easiest. Watch closely, and always remember that you hold your own fate in your hands. If I don't want him, he's just a stray dog.

[World Two: The Substitute Lover and the Business Tycoon]

Jiang Nian: So what if he's rich and powerful? Remember, you're the protagonist of your own fate. Today, I'm going to show the target that self-respect is priceless.

[World Three: The Omega Senator and the Alpha Speaker]

Jiang Nian: When you encounter a political rival, of course you open fire. Your work is part of your charm. It's his honor that I vetoed his proposal.

When all his subordinates saw that Jiang Nian's mission progress had reached 100%, they fell silent.

Their boss really is good at this!

One "victim": Can this world be a little kinder to me? All I want is a wife!
