Something like *The Guide to Capturing a Black Lotus*, *Attack Jade*, or *How Is This Proper*? The author's writing has to be good, and the plot needs plenty of twists and turns. Key point: lots of reversals.

I recently came across the case involving the actor who played Fourth Brother in *Eternal Love*, and I find it really strange. The case is full of unanswered questions, but it still hasn’t been officially opened. I’ve seen netizens question the cause of death only to be silenced, and even traces of the deceased seem to have been erased.

One link after another, the last person turned out to be someone who had never suspected it. He was harmless on the surface but vicious behind his back. Unfortunately, he was still alive in the end and enjoying the honor. I felt a little aggrieved. This kind of person is still alive and only laments the injustice of heaven. Even the emperor who has the power of life and death can do nothing... What I want to say is: Emperor, you are the supreme person. Who will stop you from the decision you make? Instead of being obedient, why did you let someone with blood on his hands sit in that position? The other sons were all wrong but they did not die. You are not without descendants. Why are you so weak-tempered and let the minister lead you by the nose? You know all the truth but still indulge. Little do you know that it is your indulgence that leads to such an ending. I really hate that iron cannot be transformed into steel. I am so angry [angry][crazy] The male protagonist investigates the case, and the female protagonist is indeed the promoter of the case. The deep meaning behind it is so deep. Maybe less people have seen it. It is the first time I watch this kind of investigation mixed with palace fighting. My head hurts [laughs]. It is really a big game. Everyone is involved in the game. Do you know how innocent the people in the game are? , A minister who loves the people and prays for them, but because he becomes a stepping stone to a superior, he really laments the impermanence of the world and how small people appear under power. That sense of powerlessness deeply envelopes the male protagonist and Liu Changshi. There are too many victims of power. Can such a superior emperor really rule the world? I would like to ask the two ministers who helped him, are you not worried that he will silence him... I feel so sad after watching so many things that I don't want to express [crying]. Although the male and female protagonists have a good ending, I still want to speak out for the dead [crying] [crying]
I give it full marks. It's not considered suspense, but closer to a conspiracy, because the background of the case is the intrigue between several sons of Li Er, and the story of Li Zhi's rise to power in the end. The first half is exciting and suspenseful, and the second half is historically depressing (but there are no doubts later on, it can be guessed at a glance)
This book gave me a quite shocking feeling. When everything is linked together, I really have to admire the author's wisdom. The writing is delicate and smooth, and each character is very well portrayed. Even the supporting roles have their own highlights. I admire the author very much. Although he only has just over 200,000 words, he can fully portray each character, and the emotional drama between the male protagonist and the female protagonist is also very good.
I've finished reading it, the storyline is exciting and the process of solving the case is very enjoyable [Blowing Kisses] The latter part is a bit sad but luckily it's HE. Li Zhixi's ending is a bit sad. The emotional development of the male and female protagonists is very interesting, but the story is a bit short and there are no extras🆘
Li Zhixi thought for a moment and picked up the brush: "Then I promise. I hope my father will be victorious and the Tang Dynasty will last forever - Wanwan, what about you?" Ye Wanwan looked at the continuous lotus lanterns in front of him in a trance, and murmured: "I hope that no matter how many thorns, bumps, pains and sufferings he has in his life, he can turn danger into safety and live a long and safe life." The wind at the water's edge suddenly became biting, causing the lotus lanterns on the water to stagger down the river. The noisy sound on the boardwalk was gradually blown away by the wind. In the night sky brightly illuminated by thousands of lights, countless sky lanterns slowly rose into the sky until they became as small as fireflies and disappeared. The first time I met Su Yu was on the bank of the Cao River. It was raining and the sky was clear, and the crabapples were thick. He leaned against the window and glanced at her through the sunset. Against the light, she didn't even see his face clearly, but she felt inexplicably that this man was more dazzling than Haitang. Today, there are dead trees and cold branches, and Chang'an is covered with snow. When I look at him again, I am separated by mountains and seas. She is so lucky, from A'que to Xu Gaoshi, everyone around her believes in her and loves her. Even though she killed so many people for her own selfish desires, Su Yu never left her, but she was so unlucky that from Ga Yan to Su Yu, everyone around her died or was injured, and everyone left her. Life is a time to come back, death is a longing for love. Before the first day of the first lunar month, Ye Wanwan had already suffered from the wind and cold. On the night of the first lunar day, she caught cold again by the water. As a result, after returning to the palace, her condition worsened and her health deteriorated. After all, she failed to keep her promise to Su Yu, and died in the East Palace before the spring flowers bloomed.
The writing is very, very good. The suspense reasoning I have read before can be read one case at a time, but after reading this one in one go, even though I know some historical background, I still get stuck in it. The only shortcoming (but it is actually an advantage) is that it is too uncomfortable. In the second half, after the prince and the king of Wei were demoted, my little heart was squeezed tightly, and I exhaled only after watching the last bit.
This novel is really the best among the best. It is not just a cool novel. The male and female protagonists get to know each other step by step, and various stories are told later. Overall, it is a very good novel. I feel a little like a withdrawal reaction after reading it.
The lingering sound lingers! Going beyond the framework of traditional detective novels, it explores not "who is the murderer" but "who is controlling". The person in power (whether it is the prince, the king of Wei, or the final mastermind) does not directly deprive the character of his freedom, but sets up a seemingly open "future" for you. The process of solving the puzzle seems to be choosing the best solution at the moment, but in fact, it is killing all escape routes with one's own hands, and is finally led to the only and arranged ending.
It's good to read, but I feel that the description of Li Zhi is a bit too... Although as an emperor, he certainly cannot be simple, but he is only a teenager as described in the book. How could he start scheming at the age of seven or eight? The key is that the calculation is still so rigorous. For what reason did Changsun Wuji help him? You must know that Li Tai and Li Chengqian were the ones who were calculated. There is no reason to count his two nephews who are most likely to succeed him at the same time to help the teenage Li Zhi. He is not a fool. No matter who of the three of them inherits the throne, he is the emperor's uncle. Even if he does not value family ties, there is no need to count his two nephews to death, just because Li Zhi likes him more. This does not make sense. However, if you ignore this point, this book is still very interesting and highly recommended.
It's quite good-looking. The writing is smooth and the ideas are clear. There are suspenseful cases and plots. The characters are distinct and real. The male and female protagonists don't have perfect personalities, but they feel real because human nature is what it should be. The rating is a bit low.
