I’m Out of Books to Read. Looking for Completed Novels
I'm in a reading slump and can't seem to get into anything. I'm not picky about the genre. It just has to be good.

An orphan girl devoid of love, she obsessively tries to control one person's affections. From the very beginning, she orchestrates the rescue of Lu Lu with a caterpillar, all to make Lu Lu owe her. Unfortunately, Lu Lu has parents and Lin Yin, preventing him from becoming "Ryoji."
The writing and plot are both good. Although I don't quite understand Yan Zhen's thoughts, it's still quite captivating! Lin Yin and Wu Lan are the most innocent characters in this novel! Yan Zhen, in order to control Lu Lu, made him believe he killed her mother, leaving him living in guilt and unable to recover!
Abridged version of "Journey Under the Midnight Sun". Sympathizing with evil people is actually condoning evil. Lu Lu, you deserve it, you really deserve it. Lin Yin loved a man with her life. Yan Zhen has an inherent evil in his bones, the kind that comes with him from birth. Wei Yun, a veteran detective is a veteran detective. Wu Tong: Ignorance is bliss. Wu Lan, in the end, she had given her heart to the wrong person.
After watching it, I was filled with anger, absolutely furious. I was so angry I couldn't sleep. Why didn't Yan Zhen face legal consequences? I felt that even if she were to die in the end, she should have been brought to justice. Lu Lu was pitiful, hateful, and tragic, but I only felt hatred for Yan Zhen. The most regrettable character was Lin Yin, followed by Wu Tong and Wu Lan.
This is truly a fantastic mystery novel. The female protagonist is a genius; it's a pity she wasn't born into a good family, as she could have achieved great things. Perhaps she really was an illegitimate child of some powerful family who was abandoned, otherwise how could she possess both beauty and intelligence, and be so composed, decisive, and patient?
It's a fantastic read! The author is incredibly talented! 👍 The girl who controls the whole situation, the boy who obediently becomes her helper, and their reunion years later remind me of *White Night*. However, I found the local film and television adaptation quite jarring. I remember Ruby Lin was in it, and I thought the plot would be different in China.
I only started reading this author's other works after reading their previous novel, "The Murderer." This book is also very cinematic, with a clear storyline, detailed character descriptions, and a fast pace! Perhaps because it was published earlier, the writing style feels a bit more mature compared to their later works. I'm not a professional reviewer, just an ordinary reader, and my feeling is: It's great! I loved it! Highly recommended!
Yan Zhen's childhood environment and personal experiences profoundly influenced her entire life. Her painful childhood caused her to withdraw from herself, exhibiting characteristics similar to bipolar disorder. She became extremely cold, even callous. She lacked the capacity to love and be loved, constantly consumed by obsession and possessiveness.
A pitiful girl, exceptionally intelligent yet ruthless! (The evil of one's family of origin can take deep root and accompany them throughout their life!) The author's ability to write such a profound work demonstrates a deep concern for children living in unhappy families; perhaps, they themselves have experienced similar situations. The work is highly recommended.
The characters are well-developed, the plot is tightly woven and interconnected, with each step leading to the next, making it impossible to put down. The very end actually made me cry. (´•̥ ̯ •̥`)
