Looking for novels with a protagonist who’s almost supernaturally clever and skilled at political maneuvering. A System or not is fine, and a female lead or not is fine, but I don’t like protagonists who think with their pants. I’m begging you, great masters!!!
Looking for Deep Historical Romance Mysteries Like The Golden Hairpin
Looking for books like *Records of the Hairpin: Complete in 4 Volumes*. I want a historical romance mystery with a compelling story, a heroine who isn’t a naive sweetheart, and leads who stay clever throughout.

Any Crime Investigation Stories Focused on Solving Cases, with Romance on the Side and a Strong Duo?
Looking for books similar to The Psychological Crime Master. 1. If there's a romance, ideally one character should be on the side of good and the other on the side of evil. 2. The man shouldn't be stronger than the woman; they should be evenly matched. 3. The mystery should be solved through deduction alone, with no special abilities.

Well written, the plot is engaging, and the text is beautiful
Keep up the good work, the male and female protagonists are both annoying, and the author's writing is good, keep up the good work
Wonderful. I haven't seen such a smart male protagonist for a long time, he's so handsome!
It's the suspenseful atmosphere that I like. Although the male protagonist is young, his decisive killing methods and resourcefulness often make me forget his age. The female protagonist is a few years older than the male protagonist. She wants to find out the truth about the murder of her parents along the way. She is witty and intelligent, but because she has followed the monk since she was a monk, she is kind-hearted and compassionate, and occasionally shows some coquettishness. The struggle between Jianghu sects and the court is one case after another, and the plot is quite attractive. How can such a good-looking book not have a rating? It's really good-looking. The male and female protagonists go hand in hand, tearing apart the fog layer by layer to find the truth. It's brain-burning, the waves are treacherous, and people's minds are guessing.
It's so well written, I love it! The male and female protagonists have their own characteristics. The male protagonist is crazy but reserved and never shows off his humanity easily. The female protagonist is kind but controlled by reason. The plot is connected one after another, and emotional scenes are naturally inserted into it. Such emotions are not abrupt, but are the only breathing space left in this tense, dangerous, and exciting atmosphere. From testing each other to using each other, and then to relying on each other unconsciously. When the day comes when the window paper is broken, I don't want them to hug each other, but at least they can support each other's backs openly, talk about their worries, and expose their own vulnerabilities. When this happens, I will definitely be stunned: the 15-year-old boy shows the childishness that he should have at his age and behaves naturally towards the person he loves; the other person has a sincere heart and does not hesitate to take the person into his arms, clumsily but seriously comforting him. The plot outside of the emotional scenes is also great. In the first part of the plot, the male protagonist has always been passive, and even let the female protagonist be snatched away by the other party. This part simply made me nervous. Later, when the male protagonist used this incident to help grow and come up with countermeasures, and once again took the enemy into his five fingers, I couldn't help but marvel. I admire the male protagonist's intelligence, but what I find really terrifying is his growth rate, which is consumed and used for his own purposes in a very short period of time; at the same time, it exposes the drawbacks of rapid growth and the responsibilities he has to bear. This responsibility and the headaches caused by rapid growth will sooner or later cause him to collapse. It gives me the feeling that the male protagonist is betting on himself and his enemies. Will he collapse faster, or will his enemies be driven out and killed faster? The role that the heroine plays in the plot is, in my opinion, a game-breaking role. Among a group of sludge, despite the deliberate protection of the male protagonist, he still maintains his pride. Among all the characters written by the author, they all have their own stories, and they are all involved in the mud to some degree or another. Some even voluntarily run into the mud to achieve their goals at any cost. The heroine played a vital role in the case. She stepped into the mud with half her body, but she was always as clean as jade. Although she had been confused and frightened by the dangers of the enemy's threatening environment and all kinds of coercion, she still adhered to her own principles. The heroine's nature has not changed from the beginning to the present. Although she has become stronger in terms of personality, the softness and strength in her bones has never changed. After learning that the people around him were different from what he originally imagined: Qing Nu, Uncle He, his father's old friend... They were not the people standing in the light as imagined, but he did not hesitate to lend a helping hand to them. It can be seen that the heroine's mind is firm.
The writing is smooth and the plot is fascinating. Continue The words and sentences are well chosen. It is rare to see this kind of masterpiece with smooth writing style and a sense of history.
This is another good book that was delayed by the title. I thought it was just an ordinary fortune-telling article, but I didn't expect the content to be so exciting, with a sense of martial arts + detective work. Especially the male and female protagonists, even the supporting characters are not stupid, Holy Mother
The writing is very good, with ancient Chinese background, and the plot content is both reasonable and wonderful. It is truly a masterpiece.
The author's writing style is really good. The characters, scenes, and inner thoughts are all described so well. The writing style is exquisite and you won't feel bored when you read it. You will just want to read it more and more. The male protagonist is strong but not invincible, and the female protagonist is smart but "reckless." The emotional scenes will not be sudden, but will be entangled and mature over time. This is already a bit sweet. I wonder if the relationship between the male and female protagonists will be very bumpy in the future. (I hope it won't be cruel [salute]) I also hope that Yingbo and Qingnv will have emotional scenes. Uncle He will definitely be the second male lead. I don't know if CP will be arranged. I also like Que Shui, but he's a little cold-blooded and inhumane. It's better not to arrange CP and let him be alone. Each character has his or her own personality and stance. I really like them all. Finally, I hope the author will make more updates...[Blow a kiss][Flow a kiss][Flow a kiss]
It's well written. I've collected it and read it slowly. It's so well written and has 460,000 words. Why is there so little traffic? I guess it's the cover? Introduction? Book title? Have a question?
