Crime-solving novels or time-travel historical novels are not the kind that are just for fun and mindlessly changing history. It makes me sick.

1. Accurate hook: The opening scene with the contrasting showdown between "Death Convict's Counterattack" and "The Living King of Hell" instantly catches the eye. 2. Lots of exciting points: highlighting multiple hot points such as "professional slap in the face", "shock of the powerful" and "the male protagonist is really good". 3. Lively characters: Strengthen the character charm of the male and female protagonists through dialogues and golden sentences. 4. Interactive guidance: Use "leave a message in the comment area" to enhance readers' sense of participation and increase the popularity of the post. 5. End with a golden sentence: Use concise and powerful sentences to sublimate the theme and trigger resonance and spread.

Reader note
"The Case of the Sinful Buddha: The Female Jinyi Guard Kills the Buddha When She Encounters a Case, and Kills a Demon When She Encounters a Demon", the story begins with a murder case in the "Jinxiu Pavilion", the top embroidery workshop in the capital. The skilled embroiderer Su Axiu was found murdered in a very strange way in the workshop. Her blood was used to complete an unfinished embroidery called "A Hundred Birds Pay Attention to the Phoenix". Silk threads were intertwined with blood vessels, presenting a terrifying scene of "living threads sewing souls". Shen Qingchuan, a member of the female Jin Yiwei family, was ordered to investigate. With his profound knowledge of medicine and poison, he discovered that the deceased was accurately bled to death while he was conscious. The murderer used special drugs to keep his mind clear so as to feel the extreme pain. The method of committing the crime was both cruel and sophisticated with a sense of ritual. The heroine of the novel, Shen Qingchuan, is a member of hundreds of royal families and is proficient in medicine and poison. The male protagonist Gu Changyuan, Qian Hu, the female protagonist's court supporter. The male protagonist Li Wuhuan is the master of Wangyou Pavilion and the core of the intelligence network. The three team up to solve a series of mysterious cases (mysteries, strange cases, forbidden cases, special cases, trick cases...), And the clues all point to the extremist organization "Sin Buddha" - under the banner of "purifying the world", they use secret techniques to create murderous cases and eliminate the so-called "filth". Sin Buddha targets powerful officials in the court, and the conspiracy to shake the foundation of the country is about to come out. All unit cases in this novel are independent chapters, but they form a closed loop due to the infiltration of "Sinful Buddha". The hidden identities and secrets behind Shen Qingchuan, Gu Changyuan, and Li Wuhuan will be revealed as the cases are continuously solved, and the "Sinful Buddha"'s conspiracy against the government and the opposition has also surfaced one by one.
