Synopsis
Jia Yu transmigrates into a classic literary setting as the twin brother of Jia Baoyu. While he initially expects a mission to save a noble household, he soon discovers the world is far more surreal, blending supernatural encounters with a complex detective plot. This novel reads like a genre-bending mystery that utilizes Liaozhai tropes to subvert reader expectations. It is ideal for readers who enjoy BL and supernatural investigations, but those seeking a loyal adaptation of the original source material should skip it. The story is characterized by a rapid shift in tone and a standout focus on the mysterious tavern owner, Cang Li. The pacing is brisk, moving the protagonist quickly from confusion to investigation as he discovers his true identity and the nature of the world around him.

Editorial Review
This completed work offers a refreshing take on the transmigration trope by layering multiple genres on top of one another. The transition from a family drama to a supernatural detective case is a strong conceptual hook that keeps the narrative unpredictable. However, the breadth of the plot—spanning from the Red Mansions to mythological entities like Sun Wukong—can occasionally feel disjointed. With 113 chapters, the story manages to wrap up its primary arcs, providing good value for those who prefer finished novels. While the BL elements provide a steady emotional core, the detective aspects sometimes take a backseat to the world-building. Overall, it is a creative, if slightly fragmented, journey that succeeds more on its imaginative premise than on its tight plotting.
