   Under the moon over Chang'an, will-o'-the-wisps mingle with lanterns. One case unsolved, another arises. Behind each bizarre murder lies a piece of withered bone crushed by a prosperous era. With a judge's pen, the author dissects the splendid facade of the Tang Dynasty, revealing the decay and lamentations beneath. The series of interconnected cases weaves a main narrative, blending meticulous reasoning of ancient criminal trials with the dark undercurrents of supernatural tales and political intrigue. Upon finishing the book, one feels as if the sounds of carriages and horses on Zhuque Avenue carry the whispers of wronged souls. This is not merely a simple, satisfying crime-solving novel. Every "supernatural tale" points to the human heart, every "political intrigue" reflects the court. Prosperity is a smokescreen, the eerie spectacle a mirror to reveal the truth. Recommended for every reader who harbors a wary attitude towards the concept of a "prosperous era."

    The first two books are by the same author and have some connection. In the first book, Chi Xia loses her memories of the time before she was adopted, and most of the cases in the story are related to her background; she has a very meticulous way of thinking. The second book is also about criminal investigation, and the part where Jiang Yi is injured later is really heartbreaking. The last book has no romantic pairing (which I love!), The male lead is a criminal police officer, and the second male lead is a psychologist who helps with profiling. The part where the male lead disappears as an undercover agent and then comes back is also quite heartbreaking, but the ending is heartwarming, and the author said there will be a sequel.

    These two books are good. The main characters solve cases through deduction, and importantly, there's almost no romance; they're focused solely on their careers!

    The first two both have systems. If you're looking for something more comedic, check out the first one. The second one features a life-extending system where the protagonist can only survive by solving cases; the cases are quite well-written. The third one is a more slice-of-life crime-solving novel; I haven't read much of it, but judging from the ratings, it seems decent. Be careful with the last one; it has some potentially problematic elements (I can tolerate them, so I'm recommending this one), but the plot is watchable. The first case has a huge plot twist, but there are relatively few chapters. New books need time to accumulate more chapters.

    It features a carefree detective, a highly skilled SWAT team, a tech-savvy but nerdy officer, and even an economic crime investigation plot. Tracking, arrests, undercover operations, comedy, and disguised investigations—it has all the elements you could want. After solving the first serial murder case, the higher-ups order the formation of a special investigation team for unsolved cases. The male lead is a criminologist, but he has personality flaws. The female lead is a hapless forensic doctor from a small town who is framed for murder. Just as the male lead is about to rescue her, her college best friend appears, and in the end… haha, I won't spoil it, I'm afraid of getting yelled at [making a face]. It's quite interesting, watch it yourself!
