   I stayed up all night to finish reading Tomato's "She's Back at the Police Station Again!" The female lead, Zhou Wan, possesses a mysterious identity and special abilities, constantly getting involved in cases and frequently ending up in jail. The male lead, Chi Jin, a criminal investigator, is initially suspicious of her, but becomes attracted to her as they spend time together. Zhou Wan appears outgoing and enthusiastic, but is actually lonely and mysterious; Chi Jin is aloof and slow to warm up, but demonstrates professionalism and dedication in his investigations. One is cool and has a story, the other is handsome and reliable; sparks fly between them during their criminal investigations, and their chemistry is off the charts! If you want a super-exciting crime romance, this is a must-read!

    The first book features a female protagonist who is a government agent and went undercover in a criminal organization. She suffers from amnesia early on and is constantly monitored and hunted, making her extremely vigilant. The male protagonist is the head of the serious crimes unit. The second book features a female protagonist who is the adopted daughter of the male protagonist's teacher. After her teacher's murder, she becomes a suspect. She has a special identity, and the male protagonist is a detective. The third book features a female protagonist who is the youngest daughter of the leader of a criminal organization. She helps the police solve cases and dismantle the organization; she is actually the daughter of the police chief, a fact revealed later. The fourth book features a female protagonist who is a wealthy heiress who went undercover in a criminal organization because of this identity, while also helping the police solve cases. She ultimately dies. The fifth book features a female protagonist who is a forensic pathologist from a family of forensic doctors. Her family was wiped out because of an ancestral heirloom, but she escapes and later perishes in a fire with her enemies. The sixth book is also good, but I've forgotten some details.

    The first book features Su Xiaoyue, a beautiful forensic doctor. On her first day of work, she's punished by the male lead, a criminal investigation captain, by being forced to run 20 kilometers. A series of subsequent cases are all connected to her in some way, and her backstory is complex and imaginative. The second book consists of a series of bizarre and exciting case segments. The female lead, an intern, follows the male lead; both are intelligent, and their relationship develops naturally. The romance is less prominent, with the focus primarily on the cases.
