Can Crime Investigation Stories Start Differently for Once?
In nine out of ten crime investigation novels, the opening has the female lead being told to file a report and leave the team. It’s so off-putting. They don’t even consider her abilities; they see a woman and immediately reject her. How shallow do you have to be to become a team captain? Why not think about why she was assigned to your team? What’s there to like about a man like that?

The reply that the character design and outline are very similar is not showing up in the comments, so I'll reply to it here. First, please do not mention other authors' works in my comment section. This is the most basic respect. Secondly, have you, the reader, actually read the contents of my book? My female lead is a "laissez-faire" type, so she'll be at the police station.
The plot took a major turn at the end, keeping it tight and thrilling. The case analysis was also very clear. The final big boss was a surprise. The poor younger brother, despite being tortured and committing wrongdoings, still had a conscience.
So beautiful! 🥺 Men get their periods after watching this 🙄 Women go crazy after watching this 💪 This is the nemesis of depression 😎 It's the alarm clock for vegetative patients 😭 So cute that tears streamed from my mouth, flooding the Qiantang River 😱 So cool 😘 God is my rose, illuminating my dark life and giving my world meaning 😊 I ran, I jumped, I danced the tango on the 20th-floor balcony 😮…
It's a great show, and the male and female leads are very sweet. However, it seems like there are a lot of people with the surname Wu; it feels like half the characters in the show have that surname.
I thought it would be nothing special, but it turned out to be really good. The cool queen and the scheming male lead are so adorable! The cases are well-written, and it's a rare find in crime-solving novels where the romance unfolds gently without interfering with the investigation or becoming cloying. Finally, just like in the second side story, the three of them will forever remain the three little ones.
Why is the rating so low? It was really good, the cases were tightly linked and progressed layer by layer, and the final twist was truly shocking. He was one of the few villains who made me cry; he was such a good character, it's such a pity. The romance aspect is relatively minor; most of the scenes are depicted in daily life, with a greater emphasis on cases.
Hmm... How to put it? This is the first novel I've reviewed on Tomato Reading after reading for so long. My writing isn't great, so I can't really describe what makes it so good, but for me, it's just so good. And since I'm easily moved to tears, I cried a lot at the end. I don't know how to explain it, but I just felt sorry for Xiao He 🥺. But the bad things he did were genuine.
It's a really good read! The male lead's unwavering devotion and attentive care, combined with the female lead's intelligence, quick wit, and exceptional memory, make for an incredibly satisfying read! It's truly a mind-bending detective novel with several plot twists. It's such a pity about He Nan. I almost cried after reading the story about him in the church. My tears kept welling up.
This is a relatively lighthearted story, focusing more on the romance. The suspense and mystery aspects are weaker and somewhat clichéd, lacking major plot twists and feeling rather bland. There are a few odd comedic elements and internet slang references. Personally, I don't really like this type of story. Those who prefer stories about the romance between the male and female leads might enjoy it.
The writing is alright. Actually, an episodic crime drama would be much better. Connecting the dots like this, the seemingly powerful final boss turns out to be a bit of a letdown... But overall it's okay, quite engaging. The only downside is the ending felt rushed. Aside from her father being a bad guy, Xiao Nan was surrounded by good people growing up. Also, it really teaches us not to forgive evildoers, because such tolerance is tantamount to indulgence, harming both oneself and others.
