    The female lead in this ancient Chinese detective story is a coroner, while the male lead is a constable and a "mind-reading detective" (proficient in micro-expressions). It's a bit short, but the plot is quite exciting, and the premise is novel. The romance between the male and female leads is relatively minor, developing naturally over time; most of the book focuses on solving cases. The author's writing is also quite good, although the ending feels a bit rushed. Overall, it's a pretty good read, definitely worth it!

    No time travel, no system, fanfiction, the male protagonist has parents, very realistic story, don't be fooled by the title which sounds like there's a system, there really isn't. The whole story is full of twists and turns with some humor, the characters are vivid, each with their own personality, the protagonist is constantly outwitting his father, and the author (my wife) is very lovely and patient, she appears in every comment. Don't be fooled by the ridiculously low rating, it's a real gem and definitely worth reading!!!
