The Mission of a Crane

After finishing *Fang Xiaoxiao*, I was really looking forward to Bu Guandeng's new work. Overall, it's quite short, with a tight plot, but it felt a bit too long. Compared to *Fang Xiaoxiao*, the emotional descriptions in this book are more delicate. The characters are very well-developed; Han Shuo isn't purely evil, but gradually becomes bad after experiencing a series of events.

Honestly, "Never Turn Off the Lights" is really good; it's all crime fiction, which I love. I give it a high rating. I'm basically in a reading slump these days because most books have the same plot and lack any creativity. I can't even finish half of them. I stumbled upon "Never Turn Off the Lights" and was immediately captivated.

I'm from Fang Xiaoxiao! The author's writing style is much better than the previous book, and the protagonist is a ruthless character (even fiercer than Sister Xiaoxiao!)—Intelligent and strong. I'll definitely buy it when it's published!

This book is so much better than Fang Xiaoxiao's! The author has improved so much; I don't understand why it's not as popular as Fang Xiaoxiao's. Most of the problems from the previous book have been resolved in this one. Both the writing style and the plot are far more engaging than Fang Xiaoxiao's. Keep up the good work, author!

I don't know why, but of the two books by this author, I love Fang Xiaoxiao the most. The character of Fang Xiaoxiao is portrayed more realistically. Reading that book felt like it was happening to someone I knew. I understand that Fang Xiaoxiao is a criminal that no one likes in this society, but my upbringing made me particularly sympathetic to her.

The novel's brilliance lies in using the image of the "crane" to connect the fates of two generations. The name "Xu He" is both her father's expectation of life and a reflection of her crane-like, solitary, and resilient character—witnessing the absence of justice in her childhood, she hides her vulnerability beneath her wings; at sixteen, when the murderer reappears, she uses her youth as a…

It's a good read. The characters are very well-developed, especially Xiao He, who is resilient, courageous, and intelligent. The plot flows smoothly too. It just feels like fate was a bit unfair to Han Yiduo; she endured so much hardship. Thankfully, she has a happy ending. I'm looking forward to the author's next book! ❤️

This is truly a wonderful book; I don't know why it hasn't become more popular. It's just as good as *Fang Xiaoxiao*. While reading, I was constantly worried that the female lead would give up her bright future by following in her brother's footsteps and committing crimes, but thankfully she didn't.

I read Fang Xiaoxiao first, and compared to that book, this one is slightly inferior. However, I still found it equally wonderful, with its consistently deep character portrayals, delicate descriptions, and engaging, interconnected story. The author's synopsis suggested it wasn't well-written and wouldn't allow me to read it, but after finishing it, I still think it's a great story. Keep up the good work, author! I look forward to your new works.

I came here after reading Fang Xiaoxiao. The author's writing style is always mature, which I love, and this book is also very good. However, the plot of child abduction in the underground river of the mine is somewhat similar to the Dark River chapter of Psychological Crime. I roughly knew the rest of the plot after reading for a short while, which reduced the sense of mystery.
