    The first book, a romance/crime investigation, features a female protagonist from a family that favors sons over daughters. However, she refuses to accept her fate and fights her way out of that quagmire, passing the police academy entrance exam and becoming a female detective through her own abilities (her romantic storyline with the male lead is quite arduous). Due to her family background, the female protagonist is cold and aloof, initially showing no interest in the male lead. However, as they work together and gradually get to know each other, she develops a new understanding of him and slowly accepts his kindness. (The author's writing is excellent, with detailed descriptions of crime investigations and complete crime-solving plots, making for a smooth reading experience.) The second and third books are two volumes. The first volume mainly focuses on the male lead's crime-solving stories (this romance book was introduced by a friend, and things progressed naturally). The emphasis is on crime-solving, and the writing is truly superb. The cases are based on real life (all adapted by the author, with real cases). The descriptions of detective work are incredibly realistic, and the cases are extremely mind-bending. The second volume follows the protagonist's meritorious service in solving cases, leading to his transfer to the anti-drug squad as an undercover agent. This volume has a longer timeline than the first, and the cases and character relationships are more complex and diverse; it's easy to miss a lot of important information if you're not paying close attention.

    In Nanzhou, the most refined culture is being distorted into the most sophisticated criminal codes. New police officer Chu Ran discovers that behind a twenty-year-old unsolved case her father investigated lies a dark network—"Mirror Flower"—coded using Tang Dynasty poetry. The system's operating logic is chilling: using the most elegant rhymes and meter to package the bloodiest criminal instructions; using the most timeless poetic imagery to mark the most despicable crime scenes. On this perilous journey to uncover the truth, she is not alone. Special police captain Ning Xing brings both action and silent protection; Deputy Director Jiang Qi uses his wisdom to clear the fog for her, while he himself struggles with a conflict between responsibility and emotion, unable to suppress his growing feelings for Chu Ran, ultimately choosing to transform his deep affection into the most thorough protection; Xu Ziqiu, from a rival family, reveals another mirror image of the "Mirror Flower" world to her with his incongruous purity. Their arrival transforms this contest from a mere battle between good and evil. When Ning Xing's love is direct and unwavering, when Jiang Qi's affection is buried and restrained, when Xu Ziqiu's very existence constitutes a paradox of stance, Chu Ran faces not only the mystery of the crime, but also the complex spectrum of humanity under extreme circumstances. Only when the mirror is broken can the flower be seen. The one who chose to break the mirror becomes the moon in the water—no need to retrieve it, just remember that he once reflected light in the darkness. This is a story about crime and codes, but also a story about love that is about protection, sacrifice, and restraint. When a system uses poetry as a pretext to commit evil, when true feelings grow in the cracks between responsibility and emotion, what do we rely on to uphold our faith in justice and true feelings? *The Mirror Flower Crime Record* seeks answers in the cracks of poetry and the shadows of moonlight.
