    Hello everyone, I'd like to recommend this book. If you're interested in Tang Dynasty and martial arts novels, you might want to check it out. It features two female leads with minimal romance at the beginning; the focus is on solving cases. There are multiple couples, and it leans towards an ensemble cast, including a pairing of Wu Zetian and Li Zhi. The two main female leads are a traumatized, icy protagonist and a persistently pursuing, sunny one.

No system, no time travel, no harem. 👀This is a book I wrote in my dreams, just going with the flow. Please come and support it!
