    This is good. The plot leans towards mystery, with many foreshadowing elements that are intricately linked and revealed layer by layer as the story unfolds. The female lead is a rational, aloof, and strong-willed woman who values ​​loyalty and righteousness. It's an ensemble piece, with supporting characters who are well-developed, have their own storylines, and lead their own lives. The friendships, family relationships, romantic relationships, and mentor-student relationships in the book are all portrayed with great subtlety, making it quite interesting.
