   In the first book, the male and female protagonists investigate cases together, and each case is very interesting. The background of the second book is that women can also participate in the imperial examination. The heroine has a righteous heart and has an official position. In the third book, the heroine disguises herself as a man and works for her brother. Although the fourth and fifth books are about fairy tales, they are really good to read! The emotional lines of all these male and female protagonists are not violent, and there are no messy female supporting characters! The IQs of the male and female protagonists are online throughout the whole process, and they are both very interesting!
