No going to the countryside, no going to the countryside, no going to the countryside. I'm saying it three times because it's important!!! Working in the city is great. Otherwise, so many people wouldn't refuse to go to the countryside and do hard labor. Preferably no CP. The male lead can have male and female friends, but not in the main story...

It's a good read, a crime-solving novel set against a historical backdrop. Many cases have backstories, exploring the complexities of human nature, but without being heavy-handed. The cases aren't gory or terrifying. I also really like the male lead's character, especially his special abilities. It's a pretty good read, a crime-solving story set in a historical period.
It looks nice, but the storage box inside is too small; at 20 cubic centimeters, it's smaller than a cigarette pack. This is the smallest storage box I've ever seen! 🤦
The case design is excellent and captures the feel of that era. You can sense that while there's a slight element of invincibility, the lack of advanced technology makes solving the cases extremely difficult. The protagonist's photographic memory and other skills are all acquired through hard work.
Just realized it's no longer a romantic pairing 😢😢😢 Feels so empty 🥺 I initially started watching for the dual male leads and the crime-solving aspect, but I couldn't really get into the pure crime-solving part. However, the author's writing is still very good 👍
It's so good! I really want to know if Zhou Xingchen (Stephen Chow) is a guy, so can he get pregnant in this world? I think Zhou could get pregnant; having a child would reduce a lot of pressure. Otherwise, according to the older generation's thinking, they would definitely have him adopted by their own nephew. I personally don't really like children, especially those that aren't my own; they're hard to manage.
I like reading this type of story, but I haven't read it before. The male lead is a transmigrator with a cheat ability—a police officer—while the female lead awakens her past life memories; she was a young man in her previous life. I hope there will be more scenes of the main characters together. However, given the current era, it might be better to focus on crime-solving.
This was my first time watching a crime-solving story set in the 1970s. In the early episodes, the protagonist is at school at home, living a harmonious life with his neighbors. After getting into high school and joining the police force, he embarks on a series of crime-solving activities, showcasing his genius in various aspects. The main plot revolves around the cases. I really enjoyed the side stories!
Personally, I think it's very well written. The plot twists aren't exaggerated, the story is fast-paced and doesn't drag, and the supporting characters are only briefly mentioned. The main and supporting characters are clearly distinguished. If you like intellectually stimulating stories, you can check it out! I'm not a shill 🤦
I came here hoping for a couple, but after reading the latest chapter, I thought the two shouldn't be so unfamiliar with each other. Then I checked the previous chapters, the fan community, and the comments section, and it turns out they've become a no-couple. Oh well, goodbye for now, I'm off (but the story is still good).
It's rare to see a period crime novel, especially one with two male leads, that's not too scary, very exciting, and the protagonist's special abilities aren't so overpowered that it feels uncomfortable or speechless. Overall, it's great.
