Illuminating Shadows with a Lantern

Please read this! Please read this! Please read this! This is the quality a novel should have! Ahhhhhh! Damn, finally it didn't shatter my worldview! The suspense is perfectly controlled! The logic is clear and thorough! Ahhhhhh! It's like someone is slowly injecting you with a syringe, it's so good it sends chills down your spine! Ahhhhhh!

This once again proves that you can't just look at the ratings. I almost missed such a wonderful story! The female lead is both pitiful and admirable, and all the men are outstanding, not just the male lead. Moreover, the events and people spanning ten years are clearly and concisely told. It's truly worth recommending. 👍👍👍

Not many reviews, but I'll give it a try. The story is engaging and you'll want to keep reading. The logic is a little weak, but the emotional descriptions are quite delicate, like something a female author would write. Overall, it's pretty good and worth a look.

I don't know how to describe how the romantic subplot between the male and female leads always seems to pop up at the most critical moments. They're even flirting during missions... It's driving me crazy! I'm terrified that they'll cause us to miss the best opportunity to complete the mission. I'm just okay, but I'll still give it five stars so you guys won't miss it 🤭. It's so frustrating!

I think it's really, really well-written. The story is long, stretching back 20 years in the crime investigation, yet it's also quite short, with the author summarizing it in just a few hundred thousand words. The story is captivating; it's rare to find a female-centric crime investigation or drug-busting story.

This is absolutely amazing! I stayed up all night to finish it. The suspense is brilliant, with tons of foreshadowing and plot twists that keep you guessing. The romance is also fantastic—the sweet, ambiguous, and shy moments perfectly capture the essence of the main characters. The ending is superb, perfectly logical and relatable, highlighting the hardships faced by police officers.

Overall it's alright, but sometimes the female lead doesn't follow orders and disregards the safety of her teammates when carrying out missions.

One toothed whale falls, and countless others take its place. This sight stirred my emotions deeply. This book not only has a great subject matter, but the author's storytelling ability is also extremely strong. The plot is intricately linked and full of life. This book is a tribute to every anti-drug police officer!

I don't know why the rating isn't high. It's one of the most compelling and realistic stories I've ever heard. The main storyline combines delicate suspense and mystery with the harsh realities of years of undercover work in the drug enforcement field and the silent sacrifices of narcotics officers. Each character is vividly portrayed and unique.

The author's writing is excellent. The praise in the comments is genuine. I think the low rating might be due to the romance; Tang Yi is very greasy and lacks tact. I hope there will be a twist later on; I don't want him to be the male lead.
