Ling Ting finally transmigrates into a romance game she has been obsessed with for ages. Every male lead is more handsome than the last, and each one has a better body than the one before.
Heaven has eyes. All those years of spending money on the game weren't for nothing!
She diligently begins pursuing the love interests. After much effort, she finally secures a date with the game's first male lead to attend a concert. But then a corpse suddenly drops onto the stage, and the whole venue descends into chaos.
Ling Ting: Got it. They're creating an opportunity for me.
She squeezes out two tears and throws herself into the male lead's arms. "Sniffle, baby, I'm so scared. Can you hold me?"
A mechanical voice suddenly rings in her ear:
[Ding! Detective System bound!]
[System task detected: Concert Hall Murder]
[Task description: Find the killer within the time limit. Exceeding the limit or failing the task will result in a forced exit from the game.]
Ling Ting looks up, bewildered, from the male lead's broad chest.
What the heck?
The mechanical voice lets out a sharp breath. [Oh no, I bound to the wrong person.]

As everyone knows, a detective's constitution means a death aura: wherever you go, something unusual is bound to happen.
She's on a date in the park with an icy beauty, only to discover that the homeless man lying on the bench has been dead for some time.
She's holding hands with a flirtatious beauty while shopping, when she somehow gets caught up in a kidnapping.
She's riding a motorcycle along the seaside with an innocent puppy-like guy when the waves wash a suitcase ashore.
Ling Ting: "...I'll bet fifty cents it isn't full of cash."
Failing a task means being forcibly logged out of the game. To stay, she has no choice but to grit her teeth and complete one system task after another, even though all she wants is to pursue the romance routes.
A dismemberment case in a sewer, a ghostly figure at a museum, a murder on a cruise ship...
Before long, Ling "Walking Conan" Ting earns an award from the police station for being a "Good Samaritan" after helping the police solve numerous cases.
At the award ceremony, a reporter asks her, "Miss Ling, what are you thinking about right now?"
Ling Ting looks at the affection levels with the male leads, which have made no progress, and rubs her forehead with a bitter smile. "I'm wondering when I'll finally get a date without being interrupted."

1. The heroine starts out thinking like a romance-game player, so she'll be a bit love-brained.
2. The blurb may change, but the core premise won't.
3. The cases may be adjusted, and the male leads' character profiles are still undecided.
4. The story focuses on suspense and detective work, but I'll try to keep the overall tone light.
