Pei Zhoupei is seeking revenge on a demon. It’s just that he doesn’t remember anything of substance after waking up with amnesia a decade earlier. When the Court Master of the Ace Detective Court returns after being away for months, Pei Zhoupei tries his luck to be taken to they court to investigate his past. Who would have known the Court Master would agree so readily, and assign Yao Sheng to look after him?

This manhua is, um, special. First, it’s so ridiculous at times that I genuinely didn’t even know how to react. Sometimes I did laugh, others… not so much. It’s a rollercoaster in the worst sense of the term. Aside from the ridiculousness that renders me speechless, it can also be really serious. Not to mention the romance squeezed in too. Additionally, the way it handled consent (or lack thereof) in a scene really put me off. I’m pretty open-minded, I would think, for darker themes without needing to walk away, but in this case it really put me off massively.

Every once in a while, I will find a series that makes me go, “Wow, someone made this?” and this is definitely in that category. That in addition to the odd pacing and above mentioned issues, I got tired of it and moved on to something else. It wasn’t worth my time.
