   "The Anti-Fraud Auditor" is a suspenseful and thrilling novel with the title: "After Being Fired from the Big Four, I Sent a Billionaire to Prison by Auditing Accounts." Have you ever wondered where the money went when people swindled your parents' retirement savings? This book tells you the answer. The protagonist, Chen Yan, a former Big Four auditor, was framed and fired for refusing to sign a false report, resulting in an industry-wide blacklist. Three years later, a late-night phone call brings him back to the battlefield—in Futian, Shenzhen, a cross-border e-commerce boss "commits suicide," yet his export figures have surged by 300%. He uncovers a financial transaction that the police couldn't trace in just twenty minutes. This isn't a crime novel; it's about using an auditor's "data eye" to see through all financial lies. At 120,000 words, the protagonist's career is fully developed, there's no romance involved, and the trio (auditor + policewoman + intern assistant) form a pure camaraderie. Every three chapters feature a small thrill, and each volume houses a major case—cross-border money laundering, scams targeting the elderly, the cryptocurrency black market, multi-billion dollar supply chain fraud, influencer tax evasion, venture capital scams, and murders committed through trusts in wealthy families… You think you're reading a novel, but you're actually learning about fraud prevention.

    I recommend this new book. I've already finished reading the serialized version, and here are my thoughts: The premise is very novel, subverting tropes and avoiding mindlessness. The characters are vivid, and the story becomes increasingly sophisticated as it progresses. It features a naturally developing teacher-student romance and a brotherhood that transcends social status, all portrayed with great detail, feeling like something that could happen to someone you know. In terms of scope, it probably revolves around "dreams and rebirth"—a seemingly simple yet extremely rare pursuit. The characters are well-developed, with no mere plot devices, and the growth arc of the villains is particularly impressive.

    Hello fellow readers! I'm recommending books to you with utmost sincerity. As a newcomer to the writing world, surrounded by seasoned professionals, and with countless amateur authors like myself, the chances of gaining your approval are slim. However, I still want to try, so I'm sincerely presenting my only two novellas of science fiction for your reading and feedback! If there are any flaws in the works, I hope you will be forgiving, offer criticism, and point them out! Thank you for your support! "Electronic Journey: Breaking the Cocoon" and "Electronic Journey: Rebirth" are hardcore, logic-heavy, and offer a fresh science fiction perspective, telling the story of electronic intelligent civilization and human civilization in the microscopic world. The first part, "Breaking the Cocoon," focuses on mind-bending logical analysis and scientific conjecture, emphasizing the raising of questions; the second part, "Rebirth," emphasizes vivid writing and a grand science fiction atmosphere, focusing on solving problems. The science fiction foundation of the stories is closely related to physics, based on reasonable concepts developed from knowledge of electricity, quantum physics, and computer science, offering a novel and unique science fiction perspective. The story is based on the research results of a future physics PhD who discovers the existence of microscopic intelligent civilizations on free electrons as the underlying logic of science fiction; the villain's work and emotional setbacks serve as the trigger for the event; the story revolves around the dual main lines of "villains stealing scientific research results - using microscopic intelligent civilizations to retaliate against their enemies - causing disasters on a global scale" and "protagonists solving the mysteries of various disaster events - developing cooperation with microscopic civilizations based on research results - stopping global disasters", which ultimately establishes a new perspective of science fiction on the path of macroscopic and microscopic symbiotic civilizations. The work is carefully conceived, and the plot is as logically rigorous as possible. All science fiction elements are based on reasonable conjectures in the development of science and technology and contradictions, ensuring a complete worldview system. The writing style is as fluent as possible, with vivid descriptions, rich character emotional portrayals, and grand science fiction scenes to satisfy different readers' reading experience and appreciation levels. The following views expressed in the novel are worth discussing and reflecting on: (1) The novel puts forward the concept of "future macroscopic and microscopic symbiotic civilizations", which is a new thinking from the perspective of science fiction. (2) The novel's conjecture that "oxygen atoms and the structure of the solar system are isomorphic, and the 8-planet celestial system may have similar environments and may give birth to similar life forms" is worth discussing and pondering for science fiction fans. (3) The novel proposes that "the 'simultaneity' of human world time may be a very large time scale in the microscopic world. The 'superposition state' in quantum mechanics, if viewed from the perspective of the microscopic world, is a collection of multiple states of events that occur in a linear order over a long time scale, and therefore there is no superposition state." This view is worth considering and discussing. (4) The novel believes that "electrons observed in experiments are not necessarily passively generated, but may also be active escape phenomena created by life behavior." This view is worth considering and studying. (5) The novel's vision of the future combination of brain-computer interfaces and bionic robots is worth looking forward to. (6) The novel contains a satirical attitude towards extremism. Technological extremism, scientific extremism, fame and fortune extremism, and behavioral extremism are all objects of ridicule in the novel. (7) The novel advocates the idea of ​​morality above all else and harmonious coexistence of all things, which is in line with the mainstream worldview of today. (8) The protagonist's spirit of daring to take risks and sacrifice himself for the fate of all mankind demonstrates the noble quality of a free and loving heart, and is a manifestation of the noble character of having the world and the fate of mankind in mind. (9) The deeper meaning of the story is that: previous science fiction novels often discussed the origin of higher intelligence and civilization. Here, it is believed that higher intelligence and civilization do not necessarily originate outside the macrocosm, but are more likely to originate from electrons in the microcosm. For example, it may be the result of the activities of intelligent life groups in micro-electromagnets. After all, everything on Earth is composed of micro-matter, so it is obviously more likely that the current world was constructed by micro-intelligent civilization. In the past, science fiction always imagined life and everything on Earth as being created by macro-unknown civilization. This fixed science fiction perspective should be changed. The code of life may lie in life itself. In addition, the novel also involves the discussion of AI ethics, the discussion of the highest moral principles, and the introduction of knowledge such as base lightning protection measures, laser lightning energy storage, and lightning types and characteristics. The story strives for engaging content, aiming to provide readers with useful knowledge while sparking reflection on future technological advancements, life forms, and ethical considerations. I sincerely recommend this book to fellow readers and humbly welcome their opinions and comments!

    A new book is now available. It's a historical food novel. Although it's a time-travel story, it avoids fantastical elements like systems and cheat codes, focusing instead on historical facts and events. All titles, names of people and places, and social backgrounds are meticulously researched, providing readers with a deeper understanding of the Spring and Autumn Period. Furthermore, the book offers extremely detailed introductions to some traditional Chinese dishes, serving as a practical cookbook. However, the author is not responsible for any kitchen novice mistakes. [Awkward laugh] Readers interested in history and food are welcome to check it out.

    The female protagonist is not human; the story focuses on strategic battles. It's a Parasyte fanfiction, featuring a protagonist similar to Ryoko Tamiya.

    Having read too many formulaic historical romance novels, this blind doctor's political intrigue really resonated with me. A blind but insightful female doctor seeking revenge encounters an emperor who, despite his cunning, is ultimately swayed by love. From mutual manipulation and exploitation to a tug-of-war of love and hate, they find solace and redemption in each other's wounds. There's no mindless romance; the court intrigue and palace intrigue unfold layer by layer, creating a palpable sense of destiny.

    He smiled at the screen, but that smile was nothing but grotesque. His levator labii superioris muscle contracted abnormally, causing excessive exposure of his gums. His pupils, trembling rapidly, appeared somewhat blurry on the screen, but this made the vertical folds formed by the antagonistic contraction of the depressor supercilii and frontalis muscles even clearer. His nasal alae flared, his jaw protruded—all the changes in his micro-expressions revealed a neurotic contradiction between euphoria and savagery, perfectly matching my impression of Yue Sheng, who was mentally unstable.
