Latest Mystery Novel

Ning Helan doesn’t believe in ghosts or gods, but under his grandfather’s coercion, he ends up taking on ghost-hunting and demon-slaying commissions during his free time from college.

A client claims that ever since visiting an abandoned temple in the northern city, they’ve been feeling unwell—everything hurts: their face, chest, and waist. They insist they’re haunted. Ning Helan casually pulls a malicious ghost off the client’s back and beats it senseless with Dialectics of Nature by Marx.

Client: “Taoist priest, do ghosts really exist?”

Ning Helan: “There are no ghosts in this world.”

The client, trembling as they look at the ghost he’s holding: “If the Taoist priest says there are no ghosts… then there aren’t any.”

Another client tearfully insists that they are a “lone star of misfortune,” cursed to clash horoscopes with their husbands, having already "killed" three. Ning Helan casually notes her and her ex-husbands’ birthdates and, when the client isn’t looking, kicks the lingering ghost on her back straight to the underworld.

Client: “Taoist priest, do you believe in lone star curses? Am I cursed by the gods?”

Ning Helan: “I’m an atheist.”

He hands her a book on materialism and advises her to stop overthinking, while reminding her to keep an eye on her household’s butler.

Days later, the butler is arrested—it turns out he had been secretly in love with the client for years and poisoned her previous husbands out of jealousy.

The client, holding the book, falls into deep thought: “So this book had such hidden meaning…”

A family complains of bad feng shui, claiming that everyone in the household experiences hallucinations at the same time every week, from the oldest to the youngest. Ning Helan investigates, checks their leftovers, and waves away mischievous mushroom spirits lurking in the house.

Ning Helan: “The feng shui is fine. Study architecture more, and always cook your mushrooms thoroughly. Stop thinking about all this superstitious nonsense.”

The family watches the mushroom spirits scurry away and silently sheds tears.

Reading Notes:

No romantic pairing, dual male protagonists, episodic plot, focused on character growth. PS: Ning the Taoist Priest is the strongest character in the story.

All supernatural elements serve the plot; no harmful beliefs are promoted. The story advocates for science and resists superstition.

Heavy creative liberties are taken. Some mild horror/thriller elements may be present.

Updates were typically released at midnight, with random red envelopes in paid chapter comments.

Upcoming Work:

Bringing the Classic of Mountains and Seas to the Apocalypse: A no-romance male protagonist story set in the apocalypse, featuring a gentle, cunning lead and fluffy ancient mythical beasts.

After transmigrating into the body of his parallel-world counterpart, Bai Ling discovers something horrifying: there’s a gaping hole in his chest, his blood has drained completely, and he’s now a walking corpse. To uncover the truth, he reads through his own diary:

If you’re reading this, it means I’m already dead.

I am a prophet. I foresaw an apocalyptic disaster, and to prevent it, I killed myself. My prophetic powers consume life energy, but as a dead person, I can use them endlessly.

To the version of me from another world, I hope you can save humanity and this world.

Armed with the diary, which details the next three years’ major events, key figures, and secrets, as well as his ever-functioning abilities, Bai Ling effortlessly assumes the role of the prophet.

“I need to create an organization, a group dedicated to saving the world. In this organization, I can use my abilities to act as the ‘Prophet’ and guide its members.”

But as he plans, Bai Ling realizes something:

“I used to hate characters in novels who spoke in riddles and refused to explain things properly. Now I know…”

“…Being a cryptic riddler is so much fun!”

Before anything else, though, he glances down at his decaying body:

“First, I need to find a funeral home. Can’t have my body rotting and stinking, can I?”

However, the identity she is given in this world is that of a weakling—someone who struggles in basic physical tasks, like running 800 meters in six minutes. Her ability is also far from impressive, only allowing her to foresee the future. With limited time, Jiang Ji must rely on her prophetic powers to "assist" other superhumans in awakening their abilities. These individuals naturally come together to form the "Night Watchers," an organization tasked with fighting darkness and saving the world. Meanwhile, "It" is the prophet that the Global Investigation Bureau is desperately seeking.

Shi Qingluo, an expert in agriculture, opened her eyes after her death and transmigrated into an ancient peasant girl.

In the beginning, she was sold by her family and forcibly taken away to be buried with the rich son who was about to die of illness in the county town.

Shi Qingluo rolled up her sleeves and fought back.

Controlling evil with evil, and controlling violence with violence. She made her family cry and made them take the initiative to retire her from marriage, and support her.

After turning around, she took the initiative to marry Xiao Hanzheng, who was in a coma after being separated from his family.

Shi Qingluo looked at Xiao Hanzheng’s weak mother, weak younger sister, and well-behaved younger brother. She touched her chin in satisfaction.

From then on, she took on the important task of supporting the family, grasping the planting and breeding, leading the whole family to become rich, and accidentally becoming the richest woman in the country.

Xiao Hanzheng woke up.

His younger brother who drowned was alive and kicking. His younger sister who was dragged and buried alive after marriage was still at home. And his mother who went to the mountains to earn money to buy him medicine and was bitten to death by wild animals was still alive.

The point is that when he woke up, he had a capable little wife.

His mother and younger siblings all depend on and loved this little wife.

He looked at the little wife: “You support the family, so what should I do?”

The little wife: “You are in charge of being as beautiful as a flower, and you will be my backer when you take the imperial examination and become an official.”

Xiao Hanzheng’s cold heart came back to life, “Okay!”

From then on, he rolled up his sleeves and went to work. From being a young scholar, he became the most glorious and powerful minister.

Everyone in the capital waited for Xiao Hanzheng to divorce his mountain village wife. Countless ladies wanted to marry him and become his wife instead, but who knew that he would keep doting on his little wife?

Only he knew that from the moment he woke up, his little wife was his salvation in this life.
