    1. Shen Liwu, who grew up in an orphanage, came to City A to investigate her origins, but was unexpectedly kidnapped and met Zhou Jin, the captain of the criminal investigation team. Coincidentally, the police wanted to invite a psychological expert to assist in solving the case, and Shen Liwu's teacher sent her to the police station to help. The main person in charge of the case happened to be Zhou Jin. They worked together seamlessly and successfully apprehended the criminals! Shen Liwu's background also came to light: her father and brother Jiang Xun had died in the line of duty, and her mother had died in revenge. Initially, Zhou Jin took care of Shen Liwu out of a sense of responsibility and a promise to Jiang Xun, but later he gradually realized his true feelings and accompanied her as she slowly emerged from the shadow of losing her loved ones. The two slowly transformed from comrades-in-arms into lovers. Note: My favorite character in the book is Jiang Xun. He loves his country, loves life, loves all things in the world, but he loves his sister Shen Liwu the most! The best Jiang Xun in the world!!! 2.

The senior characters in the book are truly tear-jerking; it even made me feel a little depressed. There's no such thing as a peaceful life; it's just that someone is bearing the burden for us! Every book by Erniang is so good! 3. A true eunuch (an emperor descended to earth for tribulation) paired with a cat demon! This one is incredibly good! But there's a little bit of angst later on; the female lead dies saving the man and woman in the mortal realm! After successfully completing their tribulations, the two are reunited!

    It's a very niche story, not a formulaic one, but it's good. It just finished, slow-paced, slice-of-life. The female protagonist escapes her patriarchal family and wanders the city, working odd jobs while studying on her own. She changes her fate by going to university, and the journey is arduous. The part about working during university is very practical and realistic. Step by step, steadily and surely, there's no overnight riches like in wish-fulfillment novels, only the steady feeling of building up a fortune. Worth following.

    Although the female lead develops her character cautiously, she doesn't let anyone bully her. The most classic scene is later when some villagers try to ruin her reputation by marrying her; she chases after them with a bucket of poop and feeds them the whole bucket.

    The first book is a female-to-male transmigration story. The author's writing is really good; the imperial examinations and etiquette are described with great flair. I really love the friendships, teacher-student relationships, and romance. I especially love the protagonist's wife; she's a guiding lover who helps him grow in the officialdom. Their mutual support and affection are very comforting to read. The second book is a small comic, quite niche, but I really like it. I feel like she's drawing me [facepalm]. The third book is a dual-male protagonist story, about mutual redemption. The protagonist's strength and self-growth, and the protagonist's guidance and pampering, are all very well written. The author's writing is excellent and gentle. In the fourth book, I absolutely love the female lead. She's incredibly strong both physically and mentally. I love her interactions with her younger brother.
