   The first book is a contemporary crime-solving novel, quite mind-bending. The second is a historical romance, featuring a female protagonist who grows through experience. Although the protagonist, Yan Dan, possesses the "golden finger" of predicting the killer's fate, she is far from a mere pretty face who wins without effort. She rises step by step from a lowly county constable to the renowned chief constable of the capital, relying on tireless effort day and night—practicing swordsmanship until her hands are calloused, enduring sun and rain to investigate clues, and even actively seeking out a master to overcome her weaknesses. It's a story of an ordinary person's growth.

    The first book is an ancient detective story. The male and female leads are well-developed. 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 Justice, and they later solve cases together. The second book is a modern detective story. The female lead is a free-spirited and clear-headed detective with a sharp tongue, which is very satisfying. However, some say she's a bit extreme, but I think she's alright. The male lead is also a detective with strong moral principles and is handsome. The third book is also a modern detective story. 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—she's an autistic forensic pathologist. She's connected to some cases and gradually comes to understand what love is.
