    Hi everyone, I'd like to recommend this book. It's a bit angsty at the beginning, but if you're interested in Tang Dynasty and martial arts stories, you might want to check it out. It features two female leads with minimal romance at the start; the focus is on solving cases. There are multiple couples, and it's more of an ensemble piece. The two main female leads are a traumatized, icy protagonist and a persistently pursuing, sunny one.

    This is incredibly heart-wrenching. If you're going to cry, then go ahead and read it. Actually, I don't like angst-filled stories, especially those where the male lead keeps torturing the female lead. Whether it's forgiveness or a direct tragic ending, it's all quite annoying. But I started reading this story, and as I read on, I realized that I'm not afraid of the heartbreak. What I'm afraid of is that maybe neither of them is at fault, but they really missed their chance. They were destined to be together, but ultimately couldn't grow old together, and they can't let go. Neither of them can. The female lead is pregnant, but the male lead unexpectedly suffers amnesia, forgetting his wife whom he secretly loved and deeply cherished. Xiao Gu (the male lead who only remembers his first love after losing his memory) is incredibly difficult. Later, the female lead dies giving birth, while the male lead slowly begins to regain his memories. The female lead suffers, as does Da Gu (the male lead before losing his memory) [truly the most tragic story I've ever read about amnesia; after regaining his memories, he finds himself transformed from someone with both a successful career and a loving relationship into a widowed and lonely man, even accused of cheating on his wife during her pregnancy and barred from seeing his child]. The second male lead also suffers, as does the children of the couple [clearly the fruit of their parents' love, but in the eyes of others, it's the father's infidelity that led to the mother's death, and they are even carefully kept from knowing who their biological parents are]. Even the male lead's ex suffers (but he did something wrong and deserves criticism). Both the male lead and the second male lead deeply love the female lead, and she is also a very gentle person; the only problem is this tragic story.
