    There are many online novels about the underworld, but few are written with such humanity. Lu Daolin's illegitimate child, the judge's maid's tears, and that line, "The new judge has it harder than me, I have to make room," are all touching.

    I'm currently following both of these books, and they both seem to have high intelligence and aren't simplistic. The first book's protagonist transmigrates into the body of an escaped death row inmate who uses his wits to fight the police and prove his innocence; he's highly intelligent and resourceful. The second book's female lead has a knack for jinxing things, but she's calm, rational, and decisive, managing to protect her opportunities despite the covetous gaze of a reborn woman. She's already turned the tables and snatched food from the jaws of a chosen one several times.
