   Reader note

   The first book is great, really. It features a female police officer who's wealthy, solves cases quickly, and is a true heroine. There's no romance, which feels realistic. It's rare to find a female-led crime detective story without a love interest. I'll read the third book first, then the second. Both books feature the same protagonist. The third book has a bit of a time-travel element, but it's still primarily about solving cases.

   Reader note

   Don't be bothered by the name; the female lead encounters cases while fishing, and basically wherever she appears, there's a case (some cases are a bit long; you can skip them if you don't like brain-teasing games). She has animal companions—currently, a snake, parrot, rat, and wolf—all legally adopted. Her family background is also strong; her father and brother are businessmen, and her mother (including her maternal grandfather's family) and she are all from families with connections in the military (initially, she only had a small, unofficial position in Sheng'an, but later, due to her merits, her superiors used connections to appoint her as a platoon leader). Around chapter 270, the earlier chapters are similar to a group of beloved pets solving cases (but the female lead has both strength and intelligence, and her animal companions also contribute). Up to this update, a new major case has emerged (international [shy]). This is a test from higher-ups [shy]. No romantic ambiguity! She's capable and intelligent! (At the beginning, because she's just starting out with the case, the female lead is a bit impulsive, but after one or two cases, she realizes she's changed.) She uses the phrases "I know what I'm doing" and "I believe in science" quite often. [Facepalm]

It's a team crime-solving story with interconnected plots. Highly recommended! The author's writing is excellent, but they don't have many readers, hence the lower rating.
