   This story follows a bickering couple who team up to fight demons and save themselves. A skilled author can bring out the depth and soul of characters they initially dislike, making them relatable and endearing, even the villains are surprisingly likable. The intricate plot and interwoven storylines of different characters make it feel like these people truly live in another world. While reading, I struggled to remember everyone's motivations and goals, yet the author managed to construct such a complete world – it's truly unimaginable how. The only drawback is the unappealing synopsis, or perhaps it just didn't resonate with me. In any case, I missed out on it for a long time because of the synopsis. Every time I read a captivating novel, I'm both eager to know what happens next and secretly wish it would never end. After finishing it, I feel a sense of loss, as if I've participated in a part of the protagonists' lives. But when they achieve their happy ending, I'm left out, forced to detach myself yet still haunted by their story. Their world continues, but I can no longer witness it.

2. 2 仵 The Forensic Detective's Astonishing Cases 仵作惊华 Thin Moon Dwelling in Mist薄月栖烟Romance1.1M WordsCompleted New martial arts mystery series, "Bright Moon Crossing the Sword", now being serialized.

   I took a Friday off and read it for three or four days straight, finally finishing it in one go. I'll probably reread it when I'm looking for something to read. The author's crime-solving novels are truly exceptional. This one feels noticeably more mature than the previous one, "The Coroner's Beloved," and the male and female leads' characters and their romance develop much more naturally. Of course, I found both books very enjoyable. This kind of episodic novel with a main suspense plot is exactly my style. What's rare is that each episode and the main plot is captivating and doesn't falter. In the second half, I was so engrossed in the main plot that I didn't care about anything else. After finishing it, reflecting on the cases, I realized that many of them were more or less related to revenge or retribution from people who had suffered pain or misfortune. Some chose to hide in the darkness, while others chose to walk into the light. This makes the protagonist's choices all the more rare and precious. This kind of injustice from the previous dynasty is really hard to write, especially since it involves the royal family. Unless it's a divine intervention, it's difficult to get a quick and easy resolution. Even though you know it's a happy ending, it still feels like the guilty party will hardly be punished, and the ending is exactly that. Considering it realistically, even the fact that the male and female leads were able to regain their identities is already a result of the protagonist's halo, so this ending is somewhat acceptable. Returning to the plot, the root of all evil in this book lies with the Second Prince and the Empress Dowager. Multiple interferences and unforeseen circumstances led to the tragedy. In modern terms, the Eldest Princess would be considered a mentally ill person suffering from a relapse and lacking capacity for action. While the Prince Consort's actions were hateful, his experiences and feelings for the princess evoked pity and sorrow. His execution was arguably a fitting end. The poor princess, deprived of care, went completely insane; it would have been better if they had died together, as a double death would have been a happy ending. The two characters were quite compatible. The Empress Dowager, who truly deserved to die, had her crimes never publicized; she was only declared to have died of illness. The male lead almost had to observe her mourning period, highlighting the helplessness and powerlessness under imperial authority. The romance between the male and female protagonists is written with great delicacy, and the identity of the male protagonist is constantly being foreshadowed. The greatest pleasure of reading a novel is to gradually guess the clues left by the author. The most regrettable thing is the extra chapter! Why is it so short? Couldn't the author have written more about the characters' happiness after all this suffering? Seeing their happiness really makes me want to cry. And what about the Sun siblings and their colleagues at the Dali Temple? I've been hoping the author would write some "what if" scenarios, imagining what the children from those three families would be like in parallel worlds. But there's only one extra chapter! Just like with *The Coroner's Beloved*, the author's departure was too abrupt, leaving me heartbroken… 20260809
