   It's really beautiful [send my heart] [send my heart] [send my heart] 🍁The first name really persuaded me to quit at first, but once I got in, I couldn't get out. It's an anti-drug article, and its three views are super upright. *As a public, although we are not anti-drug police, we must actively resist drugs, do not take drugs and do not sell drugs.* *"Drug use is a forbidden area and a red line in our country. Every penny they spend will become bullets in the hands of drug dealers and shoot back to the anti-drug police. Resisting drug use is also helping those anti-drug police."* 🍁The second one is the spy war of the Republic of China. The plot is a bit thrilling, not procrastinating, and the male and female protagonists are on and off the line, with three identities. The love is also the confusing feeling of the Republic of China. I really like the process of them doing tasks. The heroine travels through time and has a strong sense of substitution. There is no cheat. It is a very real novel. The heroine grows up in mission after mission, but she is still the same little girl. 🍁The third one, the heroine is an autistic person with a very high IQ. She tried to pretend to be a normal person and find a job, but she was spotted at a glance 😂😂 I like them solving the case, and I also like the heroine trying to find ways to get the male protagonist's body (forensic heroine)
