   These two Republican-era spy novels are incredibly good, and the word count is guaranteed. ① The protagonist transmigrates into a sickly patrolman, using a clone system and spatial abilities to become a top-tier agent, capable of espionage and assassinations without a trace, switching between multiple identities. ② The protagonist transmigrates into Su Mu, a low-ranking member of the Kuomintang's Military Intelligence Bureau, going from a patrolman to the Special Higher Police and the 76th Division. Relying on the ability to hear other people's thoughts, he prevents the Special Higher Police from finding the source of leaks. Both are packed with exciting moments, and the word count is guaranteed.

Died for his country on the 25th day of the first month of 1939. Does anyone remember him?" He put down his pen, folded the letter, and placed it at the bottom of the drawer. There, locked away, was another piece of paper with four lines of poetry: "Where can a drifting duckweed find its anchor in this chaotic world? Only the plum blossoms reflected in the snow. Do not say that the road ahead is full of frost and snow, for our hearts are connected by a single thread of understanding." The ink had faded somewhat. He gently stroked those lines, as if stroking an old dream that could never be returned to. Outside the window, the lights of No. 76 Across the street were still bright. Behind one of the windows, a woman in a black uniform was looking down, flipping through the files she needed to process that night. She did not look up. He did not wait.
