    I wrote this myself, so I don't dare to brag. I hope someone can read it and give me some feedback. I once had a very patient reader who carefully commented on everything from beginning to end. After the story was completed and I filled in the gaps in each chapter, all those comments disappeared. I'm really sad 🤦🤦🤦 and I feel especially sorry for that kind person. I never expected this to happen.

    I've been reading four books recently. The first one is a detective story, and each story is very engaging. The female lead is skilled in coroner's examination because her father is an official, while the male lead earns his marquisate through his own efforts. They have a small team, and the plot mainly focuses on solving cases. The relationship between the male and female leads develops naturally, making it a worthwhile read! The second book is still being updated, but the plot is quite good. The female lead is skilled in martial arts and resourceful. Because she was chased and fell off a cliff when she was young, she believes she is a transmigrator (she thinks she came here after the original female lead died). However, based on what we've seen so far and the speculations in the comments, it seems she was here as a child but lost her memory. The female lead is a princess (I think so), because there's another princess who came here under the guise of revenge. The third book's female lead is reborn, and it's also currently being updated. Her father wants to groom her to be the crown princess. The fourth book's female lead is physically weak but extremely intelligent, with people protecting her and spies everywhere. She and the male lead have a tug-of-war relationship that eventually ends with them together. The male lead wins over the second male lead with his good looks, hahaha. All four books have couples and romantic storylines. Pick one if you like! [Sparrow's Masterpiece][Sparrow's Masterpiece]
