    ① The first book is about officialdom, without a system, set in a historical period. The protagonist starts by entering the system, is shrewd and resourceful, has a love interest and powerful connections, and is written in a humorous style. ② The second book is a crime investigation novel. The protagonist starts as a community police officer and grows up. There is no system, but he has a cheat ability. It's not a mindless wish-fulfillment novel; it's realistic and doesn't focus on romance. Various cases come one after another.
