Ari

The adventure of a modern day detective turned aristocrat

Ari Kang, a sharp-witted detective from modern-day Korea, is renowned for her unrelenting pursuit of justice. With a mind rivaling Sherlock Holmes, she navigates the labyrinth of crime with an uncanny ability to unravel the most complex mysteries. But when a frustrating cold case leads her to seek solace in an old detective novel, fate plays a cruel joke—she wakes up inside its pages. Now trapped in the body of Lady Evelyne, the fallen daughter of a disgraced duke, she finds herself in a world of Victorian-style aristocracy, ruthless power plays, and a society where murder is disguised behind silken smiles. To make matters worse, she’s no longer just an observer—her original character was meant to die, serving as nothing more than a footnote in the book’s protagonist’s journey. Refusing to accept her fate, Evelyne sets out to rewrite the narrative, using her detective instincts to navigate the treacherous halls of nobility. But her investigations draw the attention of an enigmatic prince—the fifth in line to the throne—whose golden eyes hold secrets as deep as her own. As alliances shift and hidden enemies lurk in the shadows, Evelyne must untangle a web of conspiracies, solve murders that weren’t meant to happen, and uncover the truth behind her own family’s tragic downfall. But one question looms over her: if this is a book, can she ever escape? And if she does… does she even want to? A thrilling blend of mystery, intrigue, and slow-burning romance, The Adventures of a Modern-Day Detective Turned Aristocat is a tale where the detective becomes both the hunter and the hunted in a world where survival depends on wit, charm, and a well-placed deduction.
