Ladies, please stop recommending books! The pandemic is over, and us busy working stiffs don't have time to read! 😭
Looking for an Elegant Historical Chinese Romance Without Outlandish, Over-the-Top, or Brain-Dead Tropes
I want something with elegant, delicate writing. Not the kind that opens with someone getting disfigured or having their heart cut out. That's too melodramatic and clumsy. And no side characters like concubine-born daughters or female antagonists publicly attacking the heroine at banquets. People like that wouldn't survive three hours in ancient times unless they were faking their deaths. It's so unrealistic.
Crime Investigation, Mystery, Suspense, and Detective Fiction
Looking for stories similar to Major Criminal Investigation Cases. Are there any crime, mystery, and detective novels that are better? Share them so we can discuss! Ideally, each case is its own arc, with plenty of cases one after another and a fast update pace.
Mystery and Crime-Solving Stories, One Case After Another
I don't want one continuous plot that runs all the way to the end. I want each storyline to wrap up before the next one begins.
Please Recommend Highly Rated Novels!
Please! I want a genuinely high-scoring novel with substantial content, a sensible plot, no characters losing their minds, and no convoluted plot within a plot. Any genre is fine at this point.
Looking for High-Quality Historical Romance with Excellent Writing
I hope the writing is serious. I’ve been reading web novels for six years, so please, everyone, recommend stories set in the imperial harem, with all its intrigue and schemes!
I Just Finished the 9.9-Rated Masterpiece The Tang Dynasty’s Pearl-Splitting Record and Now I’m in a Reading Slump. Any Similar Recs?
Looking for something like *The Tang Dynasty's Pearl-Seeking Record*. I just finished this 9.9-rated novel, and it absolutely lives up to its reputation. Please recommend similarly highly rated historical romance or xianxia novels.
Ancient-Era Mystery and Crime-Solving
Are There Really No High-Quality Women’s Fiction Books Anymore?
Looking for books similar to *Quick Transmigration: The Charming Beauty of a Villainous Cannon Fodder*. I’m so frustrated. Some quick-transmigration authors really don’t understand what quick transmigration means, and drag a single arc out for a hundred chapters. I hope someone can recommend some fast-paced, high-quality stories with no romance. No number one...
No Romance! No Romance! No Romance! Highly Recommended, Thanks ʱªʱªʱª (ᕑᗢᓫ
Mind-Bending Mystery and Detective Stories
Looking for books like Forensic Qin Ming: The Silent Testimony. Nothing where the protagonist uses a golden finger to breeze through every case. I want actual crime-solving stories. I've finished Ten Deadly Sins and am following Forensic Qin Ming now.
Any Feel-Good Stories with a Female Lead, No Romance, Good Values, and No Stupid Characters?
Realistic Political Workplace Novels, Preferably Written by Someone From Within the System
Please recommend political workplace novels like those about Hou Weidong, Sun Guohua, and Wang Hongtao!
Ancient-Era Detective Novels
Please recommend stories where the protagonist transmigrates to ancient times.
Historical Chinese Mystery and Crime Stories
The female lead transmigrates and is a cold, aloof forensic pathologist. The male lead is gentle only with her.
Any Mystery-Solving Novels?
Are there any crime-solving novels about a small team where everyone has a clearly defined role?
Any Suspense and Detective Novels Where the Leads Solve Cases While Falling in Love?
They start out disliking each other, then solve cases and fall in love along the way.
Truly Stunning Historical Romance
Please avoid overly cliché tropes.
Detective, Mystery, and Crime-Solving Stories
Looking for a Female Lead Who Pulls Off Lots of Wild Stunts, Is Capable, Quick-Witted, and Gets Revenge on the Spot
Looking for books similar to *The Strong-Willed Heroine Starts Beating Scumbags After Leaving the Underworld*. The heroine never lets herself suffer. She has status and power, and she fights back hard, teaching people a lesson on the spot. No one dares say a word.
Mystery, Crime Solving, Coroners, Strong Female Lead, Career-Focused, Ancient Times to Modern Day
I'd like something like *The Auspicious Lotus Tower* (the original novel for the Cheng Yi-starring TV series *Mysterious Lotus Casebook*). Also, are there any novels similar to *Mysterious Lotus Casebook*?
Pure Historical Mystery, Deduction, and Case-Solving
Looking for books similar to *The Golden Hairpin* (complete in 4 volumes). I want a high-quality pure historical mystery and detective novel, with a strong male lead and a strong female lead, no melodrama, clear logic, and well-rounded characters. No transmigration or rebirth!
Ancient Mystery and Crime-Solving, No System
I'm looking for books like The Longest Day in Chang'an, the complete two-volume edition. No modern technology: solving cases in ancient times should be genuinely difficult. Stories where the protagonist gets a System for no reason are no fun.
Historical Mystery-Investigation Stories!
I want to read something similar to "Six Gates' Strange Cases: The Forensic Investigator Pursues the Killer." Are there any ancient-style mystery novels where the female lead transmigrates into the story? Preferably with an ensemble cast, the main focus on solving cases, and a relatively light romance plot.

This book is the most brain-burning novel I have ever read in Tomato. The heroine is pure ancient, and she is really, really smart! ! ! The previous cases are all very big, and the people and things involved are the kind that other novels may only reveal at the end. There are very few emotional lines, but it is of the kind that comes naturally and moisturizes things silently. It focuses on investigating the case, and Wen Gong's spirit has been implemented throughout the novel. It is truly a rare masterpiece! ! I don't know if there are any other good books like this, it's worth adding to your favorites! ! !
The rating is low. Each character is portrayed in a three-dimensional way, and each case has some connection with modern cases. The author is really attentive, and some proper nouns and legal provisions are very strict. The protagonists in the book all have shining points, including love, friendship, relationship between king and minister, and family affection. The multi-faceted emotions of people are portrayed. Even though there are so many cases, it does not feel confusing when reading, and the investigation process is clear and well-founded. And it was so exciting when Wen Wenbao finally fought against everyone in the Hou Mansion! ! ! The defeat of Song Shucui and Shen Tan was really the climax of the whole book, and the big scene was so enjoyable to depict. Finally, we would like to praise our smart, righteous and empathic heroine Wen Qingning, our righteous, honest, gentle and careful hero Shen Junxing, as well as the detective team Huo, Chen, Facai Pingping and Feiying Yumei. I hope each of them will always be happy in their time and space! ! Wow, I really haven't seen enough. When will the extra and next book be released? [Sending my heart] Wow wow wow I really can't bear to end it, can I keep serializing it without reading it, my detective team [crying][crying]
The Tomato scoring system is so confusing. From the point of view of many criminal detective books that I like, this book can give at least 9.6 Points, especially the higher the score, the further you read. The author has a rich reserve of knowledge. The male and female protagonists are very well created and have very charming personalities. Each has its own highlights. I highly recommend it.
It's good-looking, and both male and female protagonists are very upright people. The heroine is very sober and feels sorry for what she has experienced before, but it also makes her stronger. The current cases are very interesting. Although the author doesn't like to give readers a God's perspective (many times, when the hero and heroine suddenly understand something, the reader has no idea what happened😭), but they will understand it by the end. It's unclear what happened to the hero's mother, so there's some speculation. I look forward to the follow-up and hope the author will update more. There are only more than a hundred chapters in total. I will finish reading it soon. It is too painful to wait for updates.
Oh my god, the writing is so good. The process of solving the case is very detailed, and the relevant professional knowledge is also written very realistically and concretely. There is no one or two sentences to summarize the past. It can be seen that the author is very attentive. There are not many such down-to-earth articles in Tomato. The emotional line is also a rare healthy and earthly relationship. Although the two people have their own difficulties and misfortunes, they are not written in a bloody emotional drama such as salvation, life is given to you, and you can't do it without you. If they don't meet each other, they can live well by their own abilities and solve problems on their own. After meeting each other, they will purely appreciate and admire each other. It is a strong alliance, one more person to rely on to relax the heart, and a good partner makes one even more powerful. The portraits of various characters are also well written. Whether they are good guys, bad guys, or ordinary people who can't distinguish between good and bad, they are all very real. Everyone has their own words and deeds, and they live in the book logically based on their own experiences and environments. They are not illogical dummies.
I feel that the logical thinking of this detective story is really strong, but there are so many names that I can't remember them. If I read it for a day, I will forget what that person does. The cases are indeed quite interesting. I wonder if any director can remake it. I really want to see it. The text in the book is very particular, and it feels like the pictures are coming out when you read it.
It's really good-looking, and the heroine is very thoughtful. Although there aren't many chapters yet, I haven't seen much of her heroic and clever ways of solving crimes, but I can look forward to the future. I hope Duoduo will speed up the updating of chapters, and wish the author a smooth new year and write like the wind [Like] The score is definitely too low. The author arranged the story with intelligence, details and climaxes. The content of the cases in the story is also very rare and unconventional. It is really worth reading! It's over, I'm a little reluctant to leave it
It's a very wonderful work. I couldn't put it down when I read it. I will never forget it after reading it once. The entire story does not have cheats, time travel, rebirth, systems and other common Internet settings that destroy the structure of the drama. It completely implements the style of classical detective literature that is full of realistic cruelty and has a hint of idealism. It even uses a serial plot instead of a unit drama to create it. It is really a very rare and labor-intensive writing method nowadays. The fairness and timeliness of the law are probably the theme of this work. In order to promote its implementation, the heroine's family in the article paid the price of the lives of two generations of Wen Gong as the foundation and the senior brother Liang Qing as one of the practitioners. In addition, the remains of thousands of dead people in Chang'an as the core, and the protagonist's group of people constantly breaking through the barriers between court intrigues and street crimes constitute a small progress in civilization. The heroine and hero in this story are two pieces of the puzzle that complement each other. They have grown up with the same background under the temper of the cold current situation. Once they meet, they become the strongest and perfect combination. What's even more valuable is that their love comes from mutual appreciation, respect and trust. There is no oppression of identity or gender due to the constraints of the times. They are completely friends of two souls who always maintain a righteous heart in the swampy city of sin. I discovered this treasure by accident, and I hope that friends who are destined to see it can see such serious and exquisite works. The male and female protagonists and the supporting characters in the protagonist group are also very cute, and they are all very upright in nature, and there is no cliché operation where the supporting characters all fall in love with the heroine. Everyone is a business partner, and a solid alliance is formed because of mutual appreciation.
I've watched it so far and it's very interesting. I've learned a lot of ancient word meanings. The plot is more focused on solving crimes, which is my favorite type. The relationships are also gradual. So far, only the male protagonist is active and the female protagonist has no feelings (I fell in love with her). The writing is also very delicate and thoughtful. Please hurry up, Mrs. [Shy][shy][shy]
It suits my taste very well. The writing is pretty good and the plot is exciting. It should focus on investigating the case. The heroine's character is very full and three-dimensional, and the supporting characters are also vivid. Please give it a try [Send my heart][Send my heart][Send my heart]
