   The story revolves around a female protagonist who transmigrates to the Qin Dynasty (no romantic partner, her relationships with others are familial or friendly). She's bound to a system, but it ends up binding her to Emperor Zheng (Zhao Gao), making her his nemesis and causing him numerous troubles, including with Li Si.

At a top-tier crime scene, under the crystal chandelier, the newly crowned "King of Detectives" is passionately analyzing, demonstrating his impeccable chain of reasoning. Suddenly, all the lights went out, and a deathly silence filled the room. In the dim green glow of the emergency lights, I sat casually on the cold evidence box, his report, freshly torn in two and still damp with ink, held between my fingers. "Full of holes," I said softly, yet my voice pierced the air like an icicle. The young detective's pride shattered instantly. He drew his gun, pointing it at me in the darkness, his anger scorching the air. I chuckled softly, the sound particularly clear in the tense silence: "Your prized cornerstone of criminal psychology…" "…is nothing more than a draft of a game manual I discarded fifteen years ago, the third edition." The air froze. The room full of elite criminal investigators were struck dumb, their faces drained of color. Their sacred code of deduction, the supreme principles etched into textbooks and considered the industry's gold standard—it really was just a "game manual" someone had casually written years ago. The lights came back on, illuminating the scattered fragments of the report and the pale faces of those whose faith had crumbled.

    Reader note

    I think these books have very novel themes and I recommend everyone to check them out. 1. The first one, although the rating isn't that high, is very good. It's a thrilling read. The female lead is a time-traveling genius pharmacist, and the male lead is a young king who can control Gu worms. It's a great read. 2. The second one is a story about a wealthy family in modern Beijing. The female lead is a metaphysical expert who uses live streaming to help those in need and punish evil. The male lead is a well-known, aloof, and ascetic Buddhist monk in Beijing. It's a sweet read without angst. 3. This one doesn't have a romance plot. It mainly focuses on the female lead solving cases with her animal companions. The female lead's character is great. 4. This one is super good. I recommend everyone to read it. The male lead is easy to seduce. 5. The female lead is lost in the human world in the early stages, and the mystery of her origins troubles her. How will she face the mystery of her origins? The male lead is her pillar of strength and unconditionally believes in her.
