Synopsis
A dead tycoon with a hatred for the world leaves behind a mystery that Ye Xiaoyu is hired to solve. Driven by financial incentive, the investigator must navigate the complexities of a murder case while dealing with the spectral presence of the deceased, Xiao Yun. Their relationship is defined by sharp-tongued arguments and a clash of perspectives, as the ghost maintains a haughty attitude despite his lack of a physical form. The story blends a detective mystery with futuristic elements, incorporating virtual reality and artificial intelligence across two distinct arcs. It begins with the search for a killer and transitions into a high-stakes game broadcast. The tone shifts between lighthearted comedic banter and the tension of a criminal investigation. Those who appreciate witty dialogue and a blend of supernatural interactions with sci-fi technology will find the dynamic between the leads satisfying, while those seeking a purely serious crime drama might find the bickering distracting.

Editorial Review
With a completed length of 117 chapters, the work offers a concise and contained experience that avoids the bloat often found in longer series. The strongest asset here is the character chemistry; the interplay between the stubborn protagonist and the arrogant ghost provides a consistent emotional core that drives the plot forward. However, the transition between the initial murder mystery and the subsequent virtual reality game segment feels abrupt, potentially jarring the momentum of the first half. Given the niche combination of the setting's unique hierarchy and AI-driven plots, the story targets a very specific intersection of interests. While the low view count suggests it hasn't reached a wide audience, the tight structure ensures a satisfying conclusion. It manages to balance its supernatural premise with a focused goal, though the shift in setting during the second half slightly dilutes the tension of the original mystery.
