   Hi everyone, I'd like to recommend this book. It's a bit angsty at the beginning, but if you're interested in Tang Dynasty and martial arts stories, you might want to check it out. It features two female leads with minimal romance at the start; the focus is on solving cases. There are multiple couples, and it's more of an ensemble piece. The two main female leads are a traumatized, icy protagonist and a persistently pursuing, sunny one.

    This one is easy to be fooled by the title; it doesn't really feel like anything special just from the name. But it's truly the most satisfying book I've read from Tomato so far. It's quite dramatic, with a strong sense of the fall from grace of a genius. From seeking enlightenment to seeking a life of ease, he's a genius in himself, except for the system, which just serves as an embellishment. The plot is unconventional; it's genuinely not cliché at all. In all my years of reading online novels, this one has absolutely no formulas or tropes. The author's writing skills are very strong, and the characters are well-developed and three-dimensional. The downside is that it's too dramatic, and there are occasional moments of frustration, but there's also a certain thrill in those moments. At times, the plotline involving the Seeking True Monarch's Great Dao Divine Power, and the later part of the story where a lone soldier blocks a thousand troops, are truly frustrating, a feeling of having power but being unable to use it. This book is not suitable for those who like pure, fast-paced, action-packed stories; it's more suited for careful reading. Based on my reading experience across various websites and software like Qidian, Qimao, and Tomato, this book is actually at the level of publication potential. It's purely because of its title that it's been held back. However, if it had been published, the title would have been quite fitting and profound. But as a web novel, especially in this fast-paced era, it's truly hampered by its title.

You can also read *Animal Farm* and *Brave New World*. *Folding Beijing* is also very good; it's only a few tens of thousands of words long and can be finished quickly. Isn't the despair of being in this situation even more devastating than the emotional oppression? If you can't handle it after reading this, try some patriotic works or online novels.

    Reader note

    I highly recommend all of this author's books!!! If you're tired of cheap confrontation, incitement, and pseudo-awakening; if you're willing to endure a slow, penetrating rain to see the most authentic and complex gray areas of human nature; if you believe that even in the deepest darkness, there will always be someone stubbornly holding up that inextinguishable lamp—then go find her books. She's the most objective author I've ever read. She doesn't mock justice. The police officers she portrays are angry, powerless, and helpless, watching criminals escape because of systemic loopholes. But they never betray their oaths. She says, "The work of the police isn't so magical; it's all done step by step." She fully depicts the helplessness of justice, yet never mocks those who uphold it. She doesn't make excuses for evil. She can spend a great deal of time writing about a criminal's childhood, how he was hurt and distorted. But you'll never see her say, "So it's understandable that he became like this." She writes about the tragedy of "choice." The most oppressive element in her books isn't the unexpected external disasters, but the powerlessness of people being dragged step by step into the abyss by fate after making "good choices." A policeman helps his neighbor out of duty, only to be doomed as a result; a girl desperately cries for help after being abused at home, but her cries are blocked at every turn. This suffocating feeling of "failing at the last minute" constitutes her unique tragic aesthetic. What he excels at writing about is a kind of "evil with good intentions," or rather, "the tragedy of making the right choice." In his stories, you can hardly find a stereotypical villain. Everyone does what they believe is right, but it is these "right" actions that, one after another, form an inescapable web. A policeman helps a burglar break into his neighbor's house out of duty. Was he wrong? No. It's what a good policeman should do. But he didn't know that this act of helping would sow the seeds for his daughter's dismemberment more than a decade later. He saw the girl's injuries from domestic violence and wanted to help, but was stopped by her mother. He chose to leave a note with his phone number. Was he wrong? No. It was even heartwarming. But he didn't know that this note would only be dialed many years later, after the girl had suffered immense torment. The oppression he portrayed stemmed from the fact that no one intentionally wanted to harm anyone. Everyone was in their own position, doing what they believed was right. The police were investigating, the victims were trying to survive, and even the criminals were "atoneing." But fate, like a cruel joke, pieced together these correct choices into a dead end. After reading it, you won't feel angry, you won't hate any character, you'll only feel a tightness in your chest, want to cry, but unable to. Because you can't blame anyone. You can only sigh that life is sometimes so unreasonable.
