   Reader note

   This is a novel I haven't stopped reading since I started it. The author, Tan Jian Ting Chao, says that some say the officialdom is a game of power, full of deceit and intrigue, more treacherous than the martial arts world. Liu Fusheng believes that the officialdom is a clash between emotion and law, black and white, truth and lies, and ultimately, the righteous path of humanity. In his past life, he was timid and subservient, seeking only stability, yet he was framed and died in despair. Reborn, he has already seen through the officialdom; the path to advancement is clear in his mind, and those who stand in his way will face utter destruction!

    The first book features a clear-headed and independent female lead, and the male lead dotes on her immensely. The scumbag and the bitch suffer terrible consequences, making it incredibly satisfying to read. The second book has two male leads, a fast-paced plot with no dragging or misunderstandings. It's a rare gem among dual-male-lead novels—you absolutely must read it!!! It's super good!!!

    It's a suspenseful drama, "The Underworld Detective" has a bit of a mystical element, and I've read it on Douyin (TikTok). "Desperate Game" is a sequel to "Fatal Game," a suspenseful supernatural drama. I'm currently watching part 2. The beginning is about a rich guy sending out red envelopes in a class group chat; the luckiest person has to play a game according to the rules, or they'll die—and there are all sorts of bizarre deaths. The later plot is even more interesting; it involves saving the world, and the rich guy has a connection to the male lead.
