Works

What? Doing nothing isn’t a valid career choice? With the ambition of a sloth, this noblewoman is unexpectedly thrust into detective work!
Meet Yardinis, a noblewoman who traded her privileged life for a police badge in the small town of Pagma, hoping for a leisurely escape. Instead, she finds herself knee-deep in chaos—protecting a diva, searching for lost cats and missing children, and managing protests. Just when she thinks it can’t get worse, a notorious serial killer escapes from prison, turning the little town into a crime scene.
Armed only with her sharp wit and exceptional deductive skills (not to mention a severe lack of combat prowess), Yardinis must navigate this whirlwind of absurdity while battling her own self-doubt. Can this reluctant detective overcome her inner demons and find a place where she truly belongs? Join her on a hilariously chaotic adventure where magic meets mystery!
Adapted from Chan Ho Kei's novel The Great Magic Investigation, with Linjay reworking the plot and character designs. The male protagonist is reimagined as a female detective, exploring themes female personal growth.
