    In the three years he was Qin's son-in-law, he doubled the market value of his father-in-law's company, but also caused the tragic deaths of his children one by one. They praised his outstanding abilities, but none of them had seen the coldness in his eyes when he killed those who knew the truth. When she was the only one left in the Qin family, she cried and asked him why. He wiped away her tears: "Because your father asked my parents the same question back then."

    The campus storyline and the suspense storyline are perfectly integrated. From the classroom conflict to the placement test, and then to K leaving the note that says "the game has just begun," it has both the thrill of a campus novel and the tension of a suspense novel. In particular, the part where Gu Yanbei orders an investigation into K's identity expands the scope of the story and makes you want to keep watching.
