I want to read a book similar to "The Record of Hairpin (all 4 volumes)". A high-quality suspense detective novel in pure ancient Chinese language, with strong men and strong women, no bloodshed, clear logic, and three-dimensional characters (don't travel through time! Don't be reborn!)

This book is quite suspenseful, 100 points. I really love this combination of amnesia + conspiracy pursuit + sense of fate! Xu Bai surprised me again. How come Zhiyi metaphysics and Chinese horror are so well written, and at the same time, this pure ancient style detective style is also written so wonderfully! I am so moved! ! This book also thoughtfully has two versions of endings. The first ending is bitter yet sweet, full of regrets but more reasonable. The second ending is like a sweet dream for me. After reading it, I feel relieved. Their love has transcended worldly desires, and the harmony of their souls is even more touching! [Gu Yanzhi was sitting on Gaogao's horse, with his clothes fluttering in the biting wind. He narrowed his eyes and finally raised the corners of his mouth: "The opportunity to kill the enemy is right in front of us. Our comrades are fighting in front of the battle to defend our homeland. Do we dare to fall behind others? Kill the enemy, welcome our comrades, fight side by side, let them see how hard Daning's bones are!"] This paragraph made me cry. It's so righteous!

The poisonous marks on the corpse revealed an old hidden secret, and he investigated the truth despite being criticized. The scene with the cold-faced officer was very interesting.

Reader note
Author Amway! Wrote an ancient proverb about a female litigator who solves cases purely by logic! The title of the book is "The First Female Litigator in Dajing". There is no metaphysics, no cheating, and no golden finger to see through the murderer at a glance. All cases are solved solely by on-site investigation, evidence collection, witness cross-examination and court cross-examination. At present, we have completed the case of the number one scholar breaking off the engagement and the case of the peasant girl stealing money, followed by the case of the widow's property and the case of chastity and stigmatization. Each case has a complete chain of evidence and reversal. There is no outwit villain or forced conclusion. The heroine is a time-traveling modern golden lawyer, and she is very capable in court battles. She fights against the county magistrate, the champion, and the unscrupulous litigants. It is very refreshing to watch. 8,000 Words are updated every day. Sisters who like suspenseful cases in ancient Chinese proverbs can give it a try~

Reader note
[Bookshelf plus one] An account book lit up Chang'an Night, changing the ending of the prosperous Tang Dynasty in 72 hours! "Three Days in Luoyang" uses an account book to cut into Wu Zhou's darkest conspiracy heart. [Like] Three must-read highlights: Why it is worth staying up all night. This is not only a historical suspense novel, but also a high-concept work that creates a unique track. Your reading time will be exchanged for three high-density values: 1. The first "account book review" type of suspense, with an unprecedented angle of entry · Core setting: While other protagonists are practicing and upgrading, the protagonist of this book, Li Suan, a ninth-grade household official, is using an abacus and absolute sensitivity to numbers to solve murder cases and corruption networks among piles of account books, and finally prevent a coup that overthrows the dynasty. The audit report has become the most deadly weapon, and the crackling sound of the abacus is more frightening than the sword. · Reading experience: This is not a time-traveler using modern knowledge to reduce dimensionality, but a local little man's PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds using his own expertise to break the situation under extreme pressure. You will follow him, smell the smell of blood from boring numbers, and experience the ultimate sense of wits and wits that "numbers are like knives, capable of killing dynasties". 2. Accurately meet the taste of high-quality readers · The game of human nature: The core of the story is the extreme dealings and psychological games between Li Suan and Wu Zetian, Princess Taiping, Lai Junchen and other forces. In the desperate situation of "unfair accounts and lives at stake", every choice is a gamble of life and death, brain-burning and exciting. · Textual research-based creation: The background of the story is set in Wu Zetian's first year of Zhengsheng, and details such as water transportation, charcoal and ice worship are all based on. The author uses solid details to make the atmosphere and undercurrents of the prosperous Tang Dynasty vividly appear on the page, making reading both a sense of historical immersion and the pleasure of solving puzzles. · Strong rhythm and famous scenes: The whole book closely follows the countdown of "72 hours before the Lantern Festival", and the rhythm is as tight as a drum beat. From discovering the account books to being chased by ruthless officials, to the final showdown at the lantern festival, the whole process is high-energy and has a strong visual sense. It naturally has the potential for readers to spontaneously generate "famous scene" pictures and discussions. 3. The perspective of a small person triggers the strongest resonance. The protagonist Li Suan has no system or powers, only an abacus and survival instinct. His fear, struggle and wisdom in desperate situations can make every ordinary person who faces pressure in reality find a strong sense of empathy. This narrative of "little people leveraging big history" is the most empathetic theme at the moment. [Love] One sentence summary: If you are tired of the same time-travel routines and long for a historical suspense masterpiece with online IQ, novel setting, and explosive rhythm, "Three Days in Luoyang" will be your best choice. Open this "King of Hell's Account" and join the storm of little people's accounts that determine life and death in the city of gods.

Pure ancient language, suspenseful case solving, the heroine is super powerful in metaphysics. After being hit by a hearse in modern times, she was reborn and traveled to ancient times. In her previous life, she was a surgical nurse. She can also channel spirits. In addition to summoning spirits and exorcisms, she can do Yin and Yang Feng Shui, I Ching Bagua, dig graves, and observe celestial phenomena! The whole book has a strong sense of immersion, and you can also use psychic skills to witness the entire murder process of the murderer. The male protagonist is a minister of Dali Temple. He fell in love with the female protagonist at first sight, and then arranged for the female protagonist to be a record officer by his side. The two fell in love while solving crimes, and the male protagonist doted on the female protagonist very much. As soon as the heroine communicates with the soul, her body will be damaged by yin energy, and she will be extremely lacking in yang energy. It happens that the male protagonist has a very yang constitution, so the heroine will take yang from him to replenish yin. As for the method, please figure it out by yourself.
