    I recommend two books. The first one features a female protagonist from a family with a strong government background, who enters the Organization Department immediately after graduation. Such a start is undeniably impressive. However, a privileged background doesn't guarantee she's adept at navigating social situations. She ultimately learns through experience, climbing her way up from the bottom. She's sent to the grassroots level, working alongside a strategist to plan her way up. The second book is a period drama. The female protagonist was just a high school graduate in her previous life, about to enter university, but she transmigrates to the 1960s and, through a series of coincidences, enters the Public Security Bureau. She also gradually learns about interpersonal relationships through practical experience and handling daily police duties.

    What I admire most about this book is its efficient use of language. The author rarely uses long sentences to pile up emotions, yet manages to sketch vivid scenes and complex psychology in just a few sentences. This conciseness is not a lack of substance, but rather a refined precision. The metaphors in the book are particularly brilliant; they don't strive for novelty or shock, but rather use familiar things to evoke unfamiliar feelings, making the reader smile knowingly or startled. While reading, I often paused because of a apt word, repeatedly savoring its meaning. This sensitivity and respect for language is especially precious in today's reading environment. Furthermore, the book's structure has a sense of breathing: alternating tension and relaxation, interweaving argumentation and narration, allowing the reader to unconsciously turn many pages. After closing the book, I didn't just remember a few memorable sentences, but gained a holistic grasp of the book's overall tone and thought process. This sense of wholeness is something many books struggle to achieve.
