    ① *The Immortal's Law*: A captivating read. The immortals of the Qingtian Pagoda in Youcheng are masters of deduction, solving cases like the Scholar Case, the Dry Well Case, and the Kidnapping Case. The events are intricately linked, meticulously unraveling the mystery to uncover the Money Case. The protagonist painstakingly builds momentum and uses divine intervention to avenge a deep-seated blood feud. The female lead is intelligent, well-rounded, and not a saint. The book is emotionally rich, with vividly portrayed characters, each possessing their own strengths. It explores both national righteousness and personal love, making it highly recommended. ② *Provoking the Golden Branch*: Another masterpiece by author Kong Liu. The female lead, Shi Buyu, is neither a time traveler nor a reincarnated individual; she is simply a traditional noblewoman with exceptional intelligence. She unites a group of ambitious individuals to stir up trouble and overthrow tyranny. It's truly a fantastic read! A must-read for fans of classical Chinese literature! ③ *Bound Spring Love* is also a great read. It's one of the few ancient romance novels I've read since *Xi Hua Zhi* that I found to have such delicate writing and plot.
