I've had a reading slump for ages! I want a book with an interesting plot and good writing, and a female lead who acts like a normal person. She absolutely has to be normal, not some elementary-schooler's idea of a character who'd make no sense in real life. Thanks, everyone!

It would be perfect without the romance subplot; the beginning was great. At first, Xiao Ji (the male lead) only saw Shen Lan (the female lead) as a coroner, but the scene where he breaks off his engagement with his fiancée is completely out of character. The female lead knows her fiancée will be jealous if she gets too close to the male lead, yet she doesn't keep her distance.
I guessed the male lead was Xiao, but I felt the author wrote it quite well. It has detective stories and daily life scenes. It's not a comedy and it's not that humorous, but there are too many formulaic comedy novels. This kind of plain and simple story feels more in line with ancient times.
Most of Tomato's well-written novels are without a romantic pairing, but I prefer detective stories with romantic pairings. So, I finally found a good one that hasn't been rated yet, so I'm giving it a big thumbs up! Keep up the good work, author! It's very well written.
I really think this book is quite well-written. The characters are all very well-developed, and the development of the relationship between the male and female leads is just right for me. It's much better than those mindless, inexplicable falls in love. The descriptions of their gradual getting to know each other, the changes in their feelings, and the subtle gestures are all very good.
Waaaaaaah, I finished watching it!!!!!!!!!! Thank goodness, although I was on tenterhooks the whole time, the ending was good. This is a really good story; the writing is so good it doesn't seem like something Tomato would write. 😏 I like the female lead's resilient personality, and I also like the subtle, slowly growing relationship between her and the male lead.
This book is really good. While it has minor flaws (to me), they don't detract from its overall excellence. Besides, everyone has different tastes, and these minor flaws are just my personal opinion. The male and female leads aren't greasy, and their emotional transitions are quite delicate, avoiding rigid black-and-white portrayals. All the characters are vividly portrayed.
This is a crime/detective/revenge story: The author skillfully weaves together the themes of crime-solving and revenge. While revenge in most modern novels tends to be fast-paced and action-packed, this story delves deeper into human nature, offering profound meanings and reflections beneath the surface of the cases.
I just read 60 chapters of the detective story, it was pretty good. It would be even better if she didn't have any romantic entanglements with the male lead.
I don't understand why the rating is so low. From what I've read, it's just as good as other books with scores above nine. The two storylines are clearly structured, the characters are vividly portrayed, and the romance is also very interesting. It's basically enjoyable to read without a romantic pairing; the appreciation outweighs the romantic subplots.
The story unfolds beautifully, and the author's writing is skillful. Looking forward to the next installment! 👍👍👍 Hmm, it feels like Shen Lan is the main character in the first half, and Li Ge is the main character in the second half, haha. Also, Miao Niang and Consort Li really didn't have to die 😢. In conclusion, it's still a very good story. Thank you for your hard work, author! Looking forward to more stories.
