   The first book is an ancient detective story, already completed. The male and female leads are well-developed characters. At the beginning, the female lead's entire family is wrongly accused and exiled, and she is forced into the palace as a maid. The male lead is the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, and they later solve cases together. The second book is a modern detective story, also completed. The female lead is a police officer, very free-spirited and clear-headed, with a super sharp tongue, very satisfying to read. However, some say the female lead is a bit extreme, but I think it's fine. The male lead is also a police officer, with very positive values, and handsome. The third book is also a modern detective story, already completed. The female lead, upon first meeting the male lead, asks if she can donate his body to her, which is a bit presumptuous. However, the female lead's character is quite novel—an autistic forensic doctor. She is also involved in some cases and gradually comes to understand what love is.
