    I genuinely think this book deserves a 10/10. It's set in the entertainment industry, yet the female lead is determined to join the army—a perfect blend. It captures the cutthroat competition and backstabbing of the entertainment world, along with action scenes of catching criminal gangs. The female lead is practically invincible, but her invincibility comes at a price. The male lead is both a top actor and a secret military officer—a perfect match, a match made in heaven. Even the minor characters are vividly portrayed. Ming and Ke are my two absolute favorite supporting characters. I especially love the familial and platonic relationship between Sheng Wenyin and them; it doesn't feel like some other books that force a romance.
