   Highly recommended!!! This is the best angst-filled novel I've ever read. Everyone is intelligent, and there are no clichéd, forced angst plots. Every character is distinct, and the male and female leads, as well as the supporting characters, each have their own shining qualities. The logic throughout is clear, and the author writes exceptionally well!!

   🌑 [Blood-Red Prayer Beads Entangled with the Bones of a Tyrant] On a stormy night, I knelt before the Guandi Temple, receiving the dragon-headed staff, my wounds, pierced by three cuts and six holes, still bleeding. The old leader, before dying, clutched the patina-covered bodhi beads, his cloudy eyes reflecting the cargo ships in the harbor: "Ah Lin, these prayer beads... Have been stained with the blood of seven leaders." 🔫On my third day in power, I personally sank my sworn brother into a concrete pile. He stared at the prayer beads on my wrist with a sinister grin until his death: "The dock massacre eighteen years ago, you really think you're clean?" The blood-stained ledger curled up in the incinerator, revealing the four gilded characters "Police Informant." 🌊On the night of the turf war, the gun barrel of the rival leader was pressed against my forehead. The prayer beads on my wrist suddenly snapped, 108 bodhi beads piercing the knees of thirty knife-wielders—just like in the massacre eighteen years ago, all the victims had their kneecaps shattered. 💸The day I became the underground emperor, the new policewoman handed me a yellowed file. A top-secret number was pasted on the back of a childhood family photo; my father's blurry police badge number gradually became clear in the firelight. At that moment, the Buddhist prayer beads heated up again; it turned out that each bodhi seed contained a listening device… (Godfather of the underworld vs. Police spy, a two-faced demon begins today!)
