    This is a fantastic detective novel with a tightly woven plot and intricate twists. The female lead is exceptionally intelligent, possessing a powerful memory and the ability to piece together clues! The male lead, with a pure heart, is single-mindedly devoted to serving the people, remaining steadfast in his original intention—his stubbornness is endearing! The female lead initially appears cold and indifferent to human life; not cold-blooded, but lacking empathy. Under the male lead's influence, she gradually begins to sympathize with the weak and joins him in fighting crime—the transformation is incredibly smooth and seamless! I especially love the female lead's sister, who is actually her brother, the emperor's grandson. His personality is incredibly adorable; this kid is so endearing! And the emperor has a kind of lucid madness; although a bit ruthless, he always manages to defeat all enemies—it's incredibly satisfying! The main characters are all unique individuals with their own stories and strengths, making them invaluable allies to the male and female leads. The author's ensemble character development is excellent!
