Chapter 1: A Reluctant Date in Dragon Kingdom

Bin City.

Xiao Yu stood at the entrance of a restaurant, seething with anger and despair.

Even in two lifetimes, he couldn’t escape the fate of arranged dates.

In his previous life, his mother forced him into blind dates.

Now at just twenty-two, he was again pushed into one.

Doesn’t a mother deserve a little respect for her son?

The mere thought of his mom’s short temper and her readiness to act made him shudder.

Xiao Yu trembled slightly.

Enough—he’d just have to bear it.

Not wanting to be beaten by his mom later, he resigned himself to the date…

Two lifetimes?

That’s right—Xiao Yu was a transmigrator.

In his past life, he was also a celebrated detective police officer.

But during a mission, he was fatally shot.

In one blink he’d closed his eyes, and on opening them…

He not only transmigrated but also reversed his age.

The world now wasn’t much different from his previous life.

Yet some things had entirely new names.

For instance, the country he now lived in was called… Dragon Kingdom!

And that wasn’t all.

Xiao Yu had also activated a system.

The Law God Check-In System!

Every time he signed into a case, he would gain new abilities.

Every case solved rewarded him with skills.

Talking about this system nearly brought him to tears.

In his past life, he had spent his entire career as a police officer, ultimately sacrificing himself for his country.

After transmigrating, he’d planned on leading a simple life as an ordinary man.

But fate had other plans, gifting him this system.

Was it forcing him to return to his old trade?

But could he truly abandon his identity as a detective?

Xiao Yu muttered, “Absolutely not. Am I supposed to keep sacrificing myself?”

Yet deep down he thought, “I never left that life!”

Otherwise, why would he have reenrolled in the police academy after transmigrating?

Some dangerous jobs are meant to be done by someone…

……

Still, when it came to dates, Xiao Yu was determined to refuse.

He was only twenty-two—fresh out of the police academy.

How many men foolishly jump into the marital grave?

I’m no fool!

When he arrived, Xiao Yu had already devised a plan.

He would repel his date so thoroughly that she would lose interest.

Not only would he complete his mother’s task,

but he could also continue enjoying the single life. Isn’t that perfect?

Two birds with one stone!

……

He stepped into the restaurant.

A smiling waitress greeted him, “Sir, how many in your party?”

“We’ve reserved a table.”

Xiao Yu asked with a light smile, “Could you tell me where Room 9 is?”

“Ah, uh…”

The waitress’s smile froze as she looked a bit embarrassed. “I’m new here. Just a moment—I’ll check for you.”

“Alright,” Xiao Yu nodded.

He understood that everyone’s work was tough; he didn’t want to trouble her.

Soon, the waitress returned and pointed, “That way, Room 9 is right there.”

“Thank you,” Xiao Yu said as he walked toward the room.

Reaching the door, he glanced at the number plate and frowned.

The plate did indeed display a 9.

But it seemed loose, with one nail hole still visible.

Without overthinking, Xiao Yu knocked, gripped the doorknob, and pushed the door open.

At the moment of closing the door, the number plate wobbled and rotated halfway, covering the nail hole.

It now read… 6!

……

Xiao Yu stepped into the room and froze.

The room was spacious, with only one person seated at the dining table.

It was a woman who appeared to be around twenty-five or twenty-six.

Her hair framed an exquisitely classic oval face, her nose perfectly sculpted, and her eyes large and expressive.

At first glance, she exuded the allure of a mixed-race beauty.

At that age, a woman’s charm is at its sweetest—a blend that captivated the onlooker.

Yet, she was cold.

Even across a gap of over two meters, Xiao Yu could feel the icy aura emanating from her flawless figure.

She was like a snow lotus on a frosty peak—noble, elegant, and strikingly pure.

But still, an urge welled up within him.

An impulse to defy her cool façade and see her blush in embarrassment…

“Who are you?”

A cool, melodious voice emanated from her slightly parted red lips.

Xiao Yu snapped back to reality.

It was the first time he’d met a lady who rivaled even movie stars in beauty.

Her aura exuded the regality of a queen, almost like a commanding older sister.

Despite her frosty demeanor, her figure was as irresistible as a blazing fire.

Alas… Xiao Yu sighed inwardly.

He could tell that this woman was no ordinary person.

In fact, she belonged to a completely different world than his.

No ordinary woman could embody such nobility and grace!

A woman like her wouldn’t be taken with a ‘nobody’.

Of course, whether she cared was another matter.

He hadn’t really intended to take the date seriously anyway.

As long as he completed his mother’s assignment, it’d be enough…

“I’m here for a blind date,” he stated nonchalantly.

Ignoring her frown, Xiao Yu pulled out a chair, sat down, and grinned.

“A blind date?”

The woman squinted, her crescent eyes glinting strangely. “You want to go on a blind date with me?”

“Yes,” he replied, nodding. “My mom sent me. And by the way, you’re the elder sister from Aunt Zhou’s, right?”

The woman fell silent, a peculiar smile tugging at the corner of her lips.

“Is this your first blind date?”

Xiao Yu’s eyes sparkled as he continued, “I won’t beat around the bush. Since you’re so stunning, I must admit I’m intrigued. How about this: you find a way to fall for me. Out of fourteen billion people, I’m giving you the only chance!”

The woman: …

She appeared utterly stunned.

Her expression transformed as if she had just seen a ghost in broad daylight!
