    This has already solved the reading slump for over 4,000 people! I was completely blown away by the plot! To be honest, I never expected Tomato (a popular Chinese web novel platform) to produce such a great crime drama! A high-IQ ensemble cast with independent case units!!! The five-person team works together, each with their own role, to solve the case. It's suspenseful, terrifying, full of high-IQ logical reasoning and analysis, and features a realistic investigative process, along with occasional playful humor—it's absolutely on par with web dramas on the platform! I really hope it's adapted into a short series; I'll definitely watch it!

    A crime thriller you absolutely shouldn't miss! Highly recommended, this series uses episodic cases for suspense and mystery. Don't let the seemingly ordinary title fool you; the male lead is incredibly likable—a super cute intern forensic pathologist. No one who reads it can resist him! Plus, the author's writing is excellent, not at all padded, and the descriptions of investigative techniques are very professional.
