    It has to be Fang Xiaoxiao! This isn't some lighthearted campus drama; it's a real, massive uproar. I recommend not reading the book reviews because they contain spoilers, and don't skip ahead—it's so exhilarating! You'll feel like a criminal. If you want to see ruthless action, be prepared for the female lead to kill even her own kind mother. Don't worry about it being a plot hole (although no one actually kills anyone in this book).
