This is a true story of a strong female protagonist, even though the gender of the main character is blurred! We only want to see the magistrate solve cases and redress injustices, and we no longer care whether she's male or female. But that's precisely why it's a true story of a strong female protagonist!
This is a true crime-solving novel. It doesn't waste time describing the female lead or various men's appearances at length, nor does it feature numerous ambiguous scenes. The entire story revolves around solving cases, with a high density of high-quality crimes, making it a very enjoyable and satisfying read.
I like the female lead; she's focused on her career. I love this book. Although the female lead isn't of high status, she's very smart and capable, solving cases with her friends and unafraid of powerful figures. Seeing her constantly fight against corrupt families to help the people and uphold justice in the region is very satisfying. Thumbs up!
First of all, it has a very positive outlook on life, which makes it very comfortable to watch. Secondly, the plot twists are quite interesting, the story logic is sound, every character is very vivid, and there are several very touching stories. Highly recommended!
This is so good! It's the first time I've read this type of novel, and it's so captivating that it could be made into a TV series! It's also the first novel I've read without missing a single chapter. The case of Cheng Dian is a prime example. The female protagonist has distorted values, judges cases based on emotions, and is too idealistic.
There's no romance, but plenty of playful banter and teasing between friends. A main plot unfolds gradually with each chapter. Several chapters form a short story, and while the detective techniques aren't explicitly emphasized, they permeate the narrative, revealing aspects of human nature. Kindness, beauty, evil, twistedness, jealousy, perversion…
It's fantastic! It's the first novel I've seen where the female protagonist disguises herself as a man to become an official, yet the story doesn't revolve around gender. It's a book full of humanity and joy. However, I personally felt that the last few dozen chapters, when the mystery was almost solved, went a bit too fast, with many plot points glossed over, making it a little jarring.
The new book is here! Looking forward to seeing you all! (No male lead, no romantic pairing!) The discussion surrounding Cheng Dian's case can be summarized as whether the law outweighs sentiment, or sentiment outweighs the law. The author struggled with the writing process because if Xu Wangshui were actually killed, this remote little county would not be able to survive in this chaotic world.
No romantic pairing, strong female lead, crime-solving, reincarnation + transmigration into a book, growth, slight supernatural elements, ensemble cast. Focused on career, no ambiguous or budding romance, smooth and fast-paced plot, humorous and lighthearted writing style, interesting and dramatic storylines, good logic, sound values, all characters are intelligent, upright, kind, and not overly…
This is so well-written… Although there are many different cases, they are connected very well, and the main plot unfolds gradually. The investigation is methodical and logical, unlike other books where nothing is explained before the protagonist suddenly knows everything with a cold laugh.
