I loved this in the beginning- the story had a very interesting premise in terms of how crimes had been committed and furthermore having a female protagonist in a detective novel was unusual. But the quality dropped as coincidences upon coincidences piled up with bizarre explanations, and even more disappointingly female lead proved to be a scaredy-cat who ran to a stranger’s (male lead) home at the first sign of trouble. Male lead’s personality is also weird and I found it very difficult to like him. Overall, not highly recommended (maybe if you are bored and have no other mystery novels to read- I know they are hard to come by).

I actually like this novel because it portrays the reality that not every detail can be explained. And the FL is not accustomed to feeling this kind fear as she's an otaku and novel author and has almost zero social interactions. I admit that the part where she lived in Bai Muchuan's home was kinda too far fetched but everything is far fetched when it comes to ficitional novels. The mystery of her sixth sense is also bugging me so much XD but I guess that's why I like her. She's a strong woman who knows what's right and what's wrong and even in this world full of practical choices, she's not led astray by the pressure and stays firm to her beliefs. She also knows what she wants. Anyway, I'm just trying to get more readers for this book cause I like it so much and it hurts my heart to see it be ignored by others if they're persuaded by your review :)

Posting here in case none of my fellow readers read my last comment on chapter 628! • 🌱 • • 🌱 • • 🌱 • • 🌱 • • 🌱 • Hi, guys! So someone from the team commented on someone's forum asking about why novels are getting dropped out of nowhere. Basically, the main explanation they said is that the amount of collection (bought coins spent to unlock chapters {not the bonus ones we occasionally received} and coin gifts we give) isn't enough for the upkeep of a novel translation. Example: The salary of a translator per chapter is $30 (just a sample {it can vary from the teams}). The amount they spent to pay for an editor is $30. But the collection amount is somewhere $300 per month. Sample tally: Per chapter, there's a 29 coins. Everyday, their post goal update is 2 chapters. So there's a 54 coins per reader. And that's like around a dollar a day based on the coins payment system. Now, multiply it by (let's say) 30, then it's (2*30)*29 = 1,740 coins. Now, think how many people nowadays are gifting some coins on novels. With 1,740 coins alone if we convert it into cash using the lowest amount of coin package (50 coins per $0.99) in their system, (1,740/50)*$.099 = 34.452 Now that money will still need to be broken up, ⅓ for the original Chinese/Korean author, ⅓ for Webnovel, and the other ⅓ is for the team. In that $30 something, only around $10 will be sent to the team to be divided for the editor, translator, and team management. I know we both love this novel but let's be real that a lot of people would rather consume something free rather than to pay for it. This is why novels with low ranking and have less loyal readers gets killed when these ends doesn't meet! Remember the amount of each editors and translators makes per novel doesn't get affected in these paywalls. For every chapter they finished, they will get amount of what is stated on their contracts. If we are basing that sample tally I made, this novel needs at least 100 regular paying readers for this to be continued! 😭😭😭😭 This would be all my last message here until this (maybe) might continued (hopefully) soon. Please, please, please remember to promote this novel to everyone you know or stranger you meet so that this novel won't be buried in WN's dump yard! 👍🏻 • 👍🏻 • 👍🏻 • 👍🏻 • 👍🏻 • 👍🏻 • 👍🏻 Please also bump this post to let the other readers read this! 👍🏻 • 👍🏻 • 👍🏻 • 👍🏻 • 👍🏻 • 👍🏻 • 👍🏻 Bye bye lovelies! 😭 I'll miss you! I still hate you Cheng bitch! And I'm still annoyed with you, Xiang Wan! Please grow up! Bai Muchuan, you're so cool! I wish I could meet someone as cool as you! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 👍🏻 • 👍🏻 • 👍🏻 • 👍🏻 • 👍🏻 • 👍🏻 • 👍🏻 Also if anyone of you managed to join Webnovel Facebook group, please say hi to me there! 😭 Just look for Elle the mod! 😭

The Mind-Read Heiress: From Impostor to Family Favorite

Wenyan read a book in which a cannon-fodder character sharing her name was a false heiress. After the true heiress assumed her position, the impostor tried to secure her place in the wealthy family by drugging the eldest son and making a done deal out of a cooked rice, only to be unmasked by the Shen Family and end up committing suicide in despair. Wenyan was furious to see such an ending. How could one not survive without the backing of a wealthy family? Hadn't the family provided her with a luxury house and countless luxury goods? Just selling those off would fetch tens of millions. She was just a hopeless case! If she were the Wenyan in the book, she would have relinquished her position and just lived laid-back like a salted fish! But when she woke up from her sleep, she actually transmigrated into the book. True to her word, she stopped scheming. Overnight she packed her bags, sold her house, car, and bags, and looked for a job. - The entire Shen Family noticed the change in Wenyan, their adopted daughter. Not only had she moved out obediently, but she also never caused any trouble again. Even more bizarre was that they could now see her innermost thoughts! 【Dad, Mom, I never wanted to usurp your nest, but the DNA test results of the true daughter have issues. In fact, she's even more fake than I, the bogus heiress.】 Shen Family parents: ...... Then the long-lost 'daughter' who had been found was exposed as an impostor and taken away by the police for questioning. 【Big brother, that schoolmate of yours is no good, he's a corporate spy, the illegitimate child of the Shen Family's archenemies.】 Shen Family's eldest son: ...... Afterwards, the schoolmate got caught stealing confidential documents and was also taken away by the police for questioning. 【Second brother, you are such a pure and noble person, you mustn't be with the Qin Family's daughter, she's just using you, her heart is actually set on someone else.】 Shen Family's second son: ...... Thank you, I'll look into it. 【And third brother, fourth brother......】 In the end, nobody could have predicted that the Shen Family's most undistinguished adopted daughter would become the pampered daughter-in-law.

One Wild Night

Lucinda Perry, a social recluse and a workaholic, makes a pledge to herself to go all wild on her twenty-fifth birthday and even score a one night stand if she gets her long deserved promotion at work. Few days to her twenty-fifth birthday, she gets promoted to not just a higher position but to the head office in a different city. Having to spend her birthday night in a new city, she goes to the club where she meets a very handsome stranger, Thomas Hank, who offers to be her one night stand after catching a glimpse of her dare-to-do list, which included having a one night stand. Thomas Hank, after having been used by several ladies in the past, is bent on getting the lady of his dreams who would love him for himself and not his wealth. So when he meets the cute and naive Lucinda Perry at the club, he decides to keep his true identity from her and find out if she was worth keeping. ***Excerpt*** What is more entertaining than a crazy side character? Say hello to Sonia and Bryan. Sonia's heart stopped beating for a second, and then different thoughts started flying right through her head at that same time. Bryan Hank? Her celebrity crush was kneeling right in front of her and asking her to be his wife? Was he mistaking her for someone? Was it possible this was a skit, or maybe this was like one of those celebrity pranks, and there were cameras around, waiting to capture her make a fool of herself? Or perhaps she was dreaming? Sonia wondered as she looked around them, but all she saw were curious onlookers. "Please! Be my wife and make me the happiest man on Earth," He said in a very loud voice that caught the attention of everyone. Her editor who she had been waiting on for over an hour because he was trying to sign a deal with a movie producer who was interested in one of her stories, showed up at that moment, "Sonia, you know Bryan Hank?" Her editor asked in genuine surprise as he watched the scene before him. It seemed like an hour had passed since Bryan went on his knees, but it had only been a minute. Bryan knew no lady would be crazy enough to accept such a crazy proposal, and even if any were, paying her off and calling off the whole thing would be easy since all he wanted was the scandal that could come from this. The headlines were either going to be about his rejected Marriage proposal or his supposed engagement, which would be enough to let Sophia off the hook. "Yes!" Sonia said as she bobbed her head excitedly and extended her finger for him to wear her the ring. "Yes?" Bryan asked in confusion when he heard her response. "Yes! I will be your wife and make you the happiest man in the world!" Sonia said with a giggle and wiggled her fingers until Bryan slid the ring down her finger. Surprisingly the ring was her exact size, and it sat on her finger like it was made just for her. The sound of applause erupted all around them as Sonia stood up with a big smile on her face and embraced Bryan before kissing him right on the lips. Bryan was slightly taken aback by her boldness but quickly recovered since this was his game, and he had to play along. He was the one who had approached her first, after all. So when she tried to break the kiss, he held her chin and slowly nibbled on her lower lip before parting her lips with his tongue and sucked on it in a teasing manner, eliciting a moan from Sonia. Sonia felt light-headed. This was too good to be true. It just had to be a dream. How else could she explain that one moment she was seated at the lobby of a hotel waiting for her editor, and the next she was engaged to her celebrity crush and was kissing him right here in the open?
