Synopsis

Connor McDonald delivered food as his part-time job. One day, he had to deliver food to a hotel infamous for being a sex hotel. When the room door opened, he couldn't believe his eyes. His girlfriend was half-naked, cuddling with a rich kid from their class. "Well, now that you've found out, I guess it's time that you know," the rich kid scoffed. "Your girlfriend is dating me now. "Connor, give up on me. You're an orphan and have no money. Even if you deliver food for the rest of your life, there's no way you can compete with him. You are not good enough for me. Let's break up," his girlfriend said. Connor was utterly dumbfounded, wondering why God would inhibit poor people from being in a normal relationship. Just as he was wallowing in pain, his phone suddenly rang. He received an interesting text message. [You have received 1,000,000,000.00 dollars in your account.] "What the hell?" Connor exclaimed.

Detective Agency of the Bizarre

A door unfolded before him. Evil thrived, and whispers spilled from within. The resentful compound eyes flickered and vanished, the presence longing to burst out was blocked inside, and the alluring murmurs echoed in the ear. The sticky, pink brain mumbled something.

The first commandment is that the criminal must be someone mentioned in the early part of the story. This sets the groundwork for a fair mystery where the reader has a chance to figure it out. The second one is that all supernatural or preternatural agencies are ruled out as a matter of course. Detective fiction is about rational solutions, not magic. Thirdly, not more than one secret room or passage is allowable. This keeps the mystery within reasonable bounds of believability.

It's hard to find a beautiful girl

As a burden who was forced to go to her married sister, Rong Xin's position was to stay in her place and wait for the powerful lecher to marry before going home. However, she did not live under someone else's roof as she had imagined. With her superb martial arts skills, she met a little fan, got to know a little princess, and made friends. Rong Xin was surprised to find that living in the capital seemed, probably, not difficult. It was rumored in the capital that the heir of Marquis Jing's manor was a legendary figure.

When he was eight years old, he finally had the reputation of a prodigy, but he went his separate ways and became an idle disciple of the imperial clan.

Wasn't the idle life of an idle imperial family member more comfortable than the hard work of taking the Jinshi examination?
