The Little Darling Is Busy Telling Fortunes, While the Police Wait for Me to Boost Their Stats

[Fortune-Telling + Police Investigations + Everyone’s Darling + No Romance for the Female Lead + Cute Kid + Light Mystery] Zhu Yuan runs away from her Taoist temple to find her birth mother. Instead, she gets abducted by human traffickers. The traffickers think they’ve struck gold. She’s sweet-looking and sweet-talking, so she’ll surely fetch a good price. They don’t expect Zhu Yuan to get them sent to the police station in less than half a day. They think that must be the limit of what she can do, but on her third day at the station, Zhu Yuan solves a six-year-old cold case. Ming Qin, captain of the criminal investigation squad, looks at the girl licking a lollipop. “Is there anything you can’t do?” Zhu Yuan thinks seriously for a moment. “I can’t open a bottle by myself.” The food at the police station is a thousand times better than the food at the temple. The big sisters at the station are a hundred times gentler than her master. Zhu Yuan decides to put off looking for her birth mother and solve the station’s backlog of cases first. Workaholic Ming Qin looks at her. “Zhu Yuan, besides solving cases, what else can you tell fortunes about?” Zhu Yuan tilts her head and thinks, then answers with a serious face, “I also predicted that the cafeteria will definitely serve braised pork today!” From then on, the city’s criminal investigation squad has an unofficial consultant: Zhu Yuan, lollipop lover and three-bowls-of-rice-at-a-sitting champion. But even Zhu Yuan, whose predictions never fail, didn’t foresee one thing. Her birth mother has been watching her from the shadows all along.
