Latest Mystery Novel

In our long-standing and historically rich land of China, many professions have their own rules and taboos. This is especially true for ancient and mysterious crafts.

For instance, when engaging in 'spirit mediumship,' one must not inquire about the cause of death.

A coffin maker must not make their own coffin, and a paper craft maker must not draw eyes on paper figures.

Furthermore, during 'Chuma' (a form of shamanism), one cannot perform rituals without a complete spirit hall. If these rules and taboos are violated, extremely terrifying events will occur.

Ji Qian was very hurt by these online defamations. She only joined this variety show not by relying on ghosts or exorcisms! If not for that cold-hearted manager forcing her to take on the variety show to make money, she should have already gone up the mountain to find a master and become a nun by now!

Originally titled "The World of Another World has all the Elements of a Popular Character, Where's the Black Screen?", later felt it couldn't be completely counted that way so the name was changed.

The following introduction:

Opening his eyes to another world, Qinghe lost all his previous memories. His name was something he found out himself, his gender was something he felt himself, his identity was obtained by answering a phone call himself, and his address was automatically refreshed when he appeared.

Qinghe: Why on earth would something like this happen!

Originally, he should have been living alone, trembling with fear while holding onto secrets, finding his own safe place in this world that seemed full of dangers.

But the mysterious black fog at night, the sleepiness that always appears on time no matter how much he slept during the day, the special demon hour that always refreshes at specific times, the strange claw marks on the window lattice, and neighbors who all seem to know him...

The world falls into silence at specific times, and at these moments, only he is the one with his eyes open.

Could it be that his hidden identity is that of a famous person who saves the world?

Promoting the development of the world, it is my duty to do so!

...Is that so?

But it seems that everything is flowing with secret schemes.

Qinghe doesn't pay attention to these things. Compared to that, he would rather spend each day peacefully in his rented house.

Therefore, if you want to live happily and ignorantly in another world, you should treat all the memories that were blank before and after transmigration as paper that will soon be filled again, and today is his past.

Then tomorrow will be his...

The \"Inverted Butterfly\" refers to the murderer carving an upside‑down butterfly on the spine of each corpse, symbolizing a soul that failed to emerge from its cocoon; Chief forensic scientist Fan Jinz has an identical scar on his wrist.

The arrogant, obsessive, and haughty detective captain Yu Yan, proud and detached, works with high intellect but remains cold and distant toward chief forensic scientist Fan Jinz.

Yu Yan (detective captain) and Fan Jinz (chief forensic scientist) are bound by a complex relationship.

In the shadows of a concrete‑steel metropolis, Yu Yan and Fan Jinz weave a deviant love web, using blood as ink between an autopsy knife and a gun barrel.

Externally they appear as a tacit partnership that cracks serial‑killer cases, yet internally they are a trapped beast bound by genetic chains—Fan Jinz's butterfly scar on his wrist.

Yu Yan solves a professional dismemberment case, forcing himself to seek help from the brilliant forensic scientist Fan Jinz. Arrogant Fan Jinz, suffering from severe insomnia, is irritable and sharp‑tongued yet demonstrates astonishing professional skill.

The butterfly scar on Fan Jinz's wrist reveals his dark past. The two develop a bond transcending professionalism amid life‑death crises; behind the chief forensic scientist lies much more…

Caution: love or not, if you don't watch, just roll on, do not force; writing papers is already annoying. I go online just to let Fan Jinz become emperor.

After Chuuichi's death, he was bound by an Urban Legend System.

From then on, many mysterious events began to appear in Yokohama.

The reflection in the mirror is no longer you—it's a doppelganger coveting your identity, slowly replacing your existence.

Balloons floating in the night sky always carry a faint scent of blood. When someone zoomed in on a photo, they clearly saw a human face on the balloon...

The chill on your back never ceases. You thought it was an illusion until one day, through a crack in the wall, you met eyes filled with bloodshot vessels.

At midnight in the subway station, train #404 always arrives on time. When the doors open, you might hear the calls of deceased loved ones—but those who board the train never return.

A path you've walked for ten years suddenly has a fork in the road. The sound of children's laughter comes from a dark alley, but when you shine a flashlight, there's only bottomless darkness. Where does this lead? No one knows, perhaps they've already lost their way.

When the elevator display jumps to -4, all buttons become unresponsive. What is behind the door? What scene will you see when you open it... what world will you enter?

Slight romance, slight horror, mythology, not an 'exciting' story, not an 'exciting' story

Emotionally slow-witted 'three-no' girl x self-conquering disliked villain

This story's synopsis:

Daydreaming in class, Xia Zhu had a dream within a dream.

Although this was her first dream even though she was already 18 years old;

Although she also took out a glittering magical stone from the dream;

Although the person from the dream chased after the stone to the real world and shamelessly claimed to be a protector of humanity, a righteous 'unknown official'.

But none of this is the main point.

The main point is that 'unknown officials' can come and go freely in dreams to help people break through the fog of desire, but only descendants of gods carrying divine blood can hold this position.

But Xia Zhu is just an ordinary high school senior with a simple mind and well-developed limbs. She neither knows the 'All Things Grow' ability of descendants of the Spring Emperor to control plants, nor the 'Ice Cold Flow' ability of descendants of Zhuanxu. Just when she thought the world was glitching, she suddenly awakened a 'reviving healing ability'.

But after checking through genealogies and reading through history, among the ancient gods, there was no god-human with the same ability.

Did she by some strange coincidence become the only healer in the world?

With school life at a dead end, Xia Zhu decided to join the 'unknown officials' and embarked on a journey to trace her origins.

Lu Manman searched high and low but found no answers.

Until a man with gray eyes suddenly appeared in her line of sight. Although he was harsh, he was truly beautiful, like a petal that seemed weak but could cut your hand, and his eyes always held an inexplicable hatred when looking at her.

Synopsis: Coming next is 'The Portable Grandfather is the Winery Boss'. Welcome to collect!

This article has reached its conclusion!

'See how O De's navigation turns dead ends into shortcuts!'

'Grab a three‑in‑one in one hand, eight eggs in another, a kick‑bento one more, break the winery, and embark on the grand daily adventure of getting home!'

...

The night‑owl college student Zhu Ge Tongzhi, who frequently suffers from low blood sugar due to late nights, eventually fell to the ground with a blackout during an early‑morning class.

When she opened her eyes again, she found herself sitting bewildered amidst a group of elementary school students, a masked robber pointing a gun at her.

A bomb lay nearby; the dark‑haired, dark‑eyed girl glanced into the void for a moment, swiftly pushed aside the glasses‑wearing little kid beside her, and, with a small chubby boy's protection ahead, disarmed the bomb in a few swift moves.

Just after assembling the tools and touching the bomb, Conan: 'Huh?'

After disarming it, he casually became a hostage; when Z. G. Tongzhi handled the case, he weakened in a second, smoothly exiting.

Just as he was about to take in place of Bu Mei as hostage but was now taken away for an interview, Conan: 'What??'

Zhu Ge Tongzhi ran straight into a deserted alley's depths, and the floating navigation arrows before his eyes kept flickering.

'Continue travelling along the current direction.'

That must be you!

You bastard O De map!

Is the earlier navigation really practical?

But…

'Final Destination: Live and return to your parents.'

Zhu Ge Tongzhi clenched his teeth, stepped into Empery Dan Elementary School at 7 a.m., 'Hello everyone, I'm Zhu Ge Tongzhi, pleased to meet you!'

Under the navigation, everyone blocking the way backed away! back away! back away!

Short play

'Clear the way, you're in my path.'

Inside the building, a suddenly appearing girl grabbed Kenji Iwaura towards the hallway glass, and a caught‑off‑guard policeman looked back bewilderedly as the bomb's timer that should have stopped lit up again.

The fire cracked, he fell into the air, but Zhu Ge Tongzhi felt no fear.

O De said, there is a path there!

Trigger warning:

1. The female lead is not a typical ordinary college student.

2. The author's style is elementary and outlandish; not for the faint of heart.

3. Few detective roles, many murder play; fans of elementary mysteries preferred.

4. Apology for out‑of‑character.

If you can accept all this, welcome dear reader!

One‑sentence synopsis: There was no path in the world; the more people walked, the path became real.

Moral: Everyone must live and go back home.

(PS: New author, didn't know how to write in the early stages, currently working hard to improve, please bear with me.)

(PS: For the early chapters, please don't take it too seriously, later on, it's full of sweet moments... at least I think so.)

After an unexpected transmigration, Mitsuaki originally just wanted to be a background character, a mere passerby in this world, and live a life of leisure.

But he never expected to arrive in the world of Detective Conan and even encounter the "Grim Reaper elementary schooler" who has been around for thousands of years.

Does that mean he'll also encounter... her?

Mitsuaki: I feel like I can't live a leisurely life anymore...

(Later chapters might lean more towards a romantic daily life storyline?)
