   Although not much has been written yet, it's clear the author has already begun to cast a wide net, which will gradually be closed in. The plot is full of twists and turns, with frequent reversals, making it very engaging. I highly recommend keeping reading!

The events after the time travel are quite reasonable, much better than those mindless and invincible time travel stories!

    These are all novels without female leads, and everyone is intelligent. Don't be fooled by the funny titles of some of the books, which are indeed comedic, but that doesn't mean they lack intelligence.

    Wu Ying is highly intelligent and has a meticulous mind. Her plans are always well-thought-out, leaving the police helpless and her enemies nowhere to hide.

It's a long novel, which I don't usually enjoy, but I finished this one because I found it very engaging; it kept me thinking about what would happen next.
