Synopsis

(Mystery and murder investigation + mutual healing + younger woman/older woman romance + devoted HE + a touch of showbiz + female-centered. Focused on women's stories, with diverse female characters and few male characters, most of whom are negative.)

A sharp-tongued, naive younger girl with puppy-like energy VS a gentle, nurturing older sister

“Your sister’s death wasn’t a suicide. She was murdered.”

With those words from Gu Nanqiao, Ye Mingyu and Yan Xici began a long journey to find the killer.

Amid shifting schemes and intrigue, two kindred souls slowly draw closer and come to depend on each other.

Yet as the investigation progresses, their meeting gradually begins to look like a deliberately arranged experiment.

When someone asks Ye Mingyu if she likes Yan Xici, she opens her eyes wide and jumps to her feet: “How could I? I just depend on her, that’s all.”

Ye Mingyu after Yan Xici arrives: “Sister Xici.” (blushing, sneaking a hand into hers)

Tips: A heroine who grows over time / an unconventional female antagonist

Two Female Leads, Rated 9.0 or Higher. New Books Are Fine If They’re Good

Looking for books similar to "When the Noble Consort Pouts, the Empress's Soul Nearly Leaves Her Body (A Wish Upon Silken Threads)". I want two female leads!! They should be clever and clear-headed.
