   I won't say much about these three books; their ratings are already very high. Next are *Hard Bones* and *Covering Clouds*, both written by the same author and even have some crossover elements. Read *Hard Bones* first, then *Covering Clouds*. The plots are incredibly mind-bending, with many unexpected twists, and the female leads are super strong. I cried buckets after reading both, especially *Hard Bones*, which was so heartbreaking (both the male and female leads have happy endings). Then there's *Young Marshal 2*, which not only features crime-solving but also various palace intrigues. The female lead is incredibly clear-headed, resourceful, and capable. The male leads in these three books are also very capable, never disappointing me, and never failing me at crucial moments. Each book is connected by a major case, making the plot very coherent. I absolutely love them!!!

    "The Divination Method for Catching Murderers" [A dual strength of criminal investigation and metaphysics + episodic case + high-density plot twists] No cheat codes, no system. Su Wan, the iron-faced captain of the criminal investigation team, only believes that "physical evidence doesn't lie." With her hardcore forensic skills and criminal investigation logic, she has solved many bizarre cases, but she has stumbled on a series of ritualistic murders. There are no fingerprints, no DNA, and no witnesses at the crime scenes of the three murders. The murderer seems to have vanished into thin air, and modern criminal investigation methods have completely reached a dead end. With nowhere else to turn, she finds Lin Yi, the successor of the Plum Blossom Divination method, who is regarded as a "charlatan" by the police. This professor of folklore accurately points out the murderer's next crime location and even predicts the murderer's method by casting a divination with just three copper coins. One is obsessed with evidence, and the other believes in divine secrets. From mutual sabotage to tacit cooperation, the Six Harmonies Soul-Suppressing Array, the Seven Star Life-Borrowing Case, the Nine Palaces Soul-Locking Formation... Behind each bizarre murder case lies a shocking secret spanning nine hundred years. When the divination points to the most unexpected person, amidst irrefutable evidence and divine revelation, who will uncover the ultimate truth? [Kiss]
