   Hi everyone, I'm recommending this to anyone interested in Tang Dynasty and martial arts stories. It features two female leads with minimal romance at the beginning; the focus is on solving cases. There are multiple couples, and it's an ensemble piece, including a pairing of Wu Zetian and Li Zhi. The two main female leads are a traumatized, icy protagonist and a persistently pursuing, sunny one.

   Reader note

   I recommend a great book. It opens with six girls going missing, but then it turns out that a total of thirty-six girls have gone missing nationwide. A single sword, the Flying Goose Sword, decides life and death. It's true martial arts, with a strong storyline and a high level of immersion. No reincarnation, no time travel, no clichés, just decisive and ruthless killing!
