   "Under the principles of justice, righteousness endures." Compared to Mu Suli's other works, "First-Class Lawyer" is relatively niche, but it still maintains a strong moral compass and is capable of defying the odds. Dean Yan successfully became a student of his own student. And Mu Suli was so handsome when writing the courtroom scenes... The protagonist's illness is due to a gene repair fragment related to the main plot. From the protagonist's perspective, it's like his teacher, whom he's secretly loved for ten years, suddenly exploding and dying; he glances at him again because he resembles him. He only glances at him once because he's not him (don't worry if you don't understand, just click and you'll understand [newbie]).

2. 2 病 The Medical Records 病案本 Meat Bun Won't Eat Meat肉包不吃肉Danmei (BL)1.4M WordsCompleted A crazed, impeccably dressed beast of a seme, and a cold, divorced, fatherly uke. A story about a unique case: a mentally ill boy and his aloof doctor. Younger seme. A friendly reminder: This is a slow-burn story set in an imaginary modern city, with melodrama, unsolved cases, suspected crimes, and unusual illnesses. There will be plenty of relationship drama. The illnesses, medical system, and various social organizations all include elements of fantasy and have nothing to do with reality. So p 513.1kFavorites134.7kClicks/ch430.7kGifts

   Speaking of strong, beautiful, and tragic protagonists, how can we forget Dr. Xie? 🐶🌹 The character portrayal by Roubao is truly masterful; Xie Qingcheng is a perfect example. 😭 This is a long novel, and watching Dr. Xie's body gradually weaken throughout the story is incredibly heartbreaking (XP confirmed) 😭 Plus, this book is packed with car scenes (those who know, know). Later, even with Dr. Xie's organs failing, Heyu still doesn't know about him (that thing), making me both heartbroken and smiling at the same time (what?). The main plot is related to science fiction, with a large time span later on, but it's not difficult to understand compared to other books on my list (the author personally organizes the main plot!). However, the protagonist in this book is not chaste; he was previously married, and the seme initially has a crush on the protagonist's sister (of course, it's just a fantasy; he never actually had those romantic experiences with the protagonist's sister). If you don't mind these things, this book is really good. 😭

3. 3 犯 Criminal Psychology 犯罪心理 Chang Er长洱Danmei (BL)1.2M WordsCompleted One day, while Lin Chen was reading, Xing Conglian asked him: “You’re a psychologist. Can you help me figure out what kind of person I’d be suited to marry?” Lin Chen remembered telling him that love was the most impossible thing in the world to quantify. Even a psychologist couldn’t predict it, because the process of two people falling in love was full of countless variables. Xing Conglian asked, “What are variables?” Lin Chen thought at the time: A variable is that I thought you were just an o 802.2kFavorites610.5kClicks/ch727.5kGifts

   Criminal Minds by Chang Er is filled with a hazy, mysterious atmosphere... And the later parts are so angsty (Chang Er's perspective is reversed)... The romance between Xing Lin is exceptionally well-developed. From the protagonist's perspective, it's initially Lin's one-sided crush, somewhat like pursuing a crush, which is resolved later (but it's really heartbreaking, the only book that made me cry). There are a few plot holes left unfilled, which can be considered as leaving room for interpretation; proceed with caution if you mind this. It incorporates more psychological elements, at least more than analytical techniques. The story is relatively long, but not slow-paced. Thanks to our golden matchmakers Zheng Xiaoming and Fang Aizi, thanks to the divine assist Wang Chao, and thanks to the loyal shipper Zhang Xiaolong.

4. 4 默EN Silent Reading: Mo Du 默读 priestDanmei (BL)824k WordsCompleted Childhood, upbringing, family background, social connections, trauma... We keep tracing and searching for the motives behind criminals' actions, exploring the faintest shades of their joy and sorrow. Not so we can put ourselves in their shoes and sympathize with them, let alone forgive them. Not to find excuses for their crimes. Not to bow down before the so-called complexity of human nature. Not to reflect on social conflicts, and certainly not to let ourselves become monsters too. We're only 1.7MFavorites1.6MClicks/ch2.6MGifts

   I really love this book! 😭 P's writing is so delicate, the romance between Zhou and Du is so captivating... I actually reviewed this book before, but I don't know why it was deleted 😭 Whether it's the structure or the emotions, it's so delicate and realistic; you can feel like it's happening right around us. While we're busy repeating the same work, study, and life day after day, there are always people committing heinous crimes in the dark corners 😭 And there's a particularly classic line: "I'll teach her how to protect herself from bad guys, but I won't make her afraid to wear floral dresses, otherwise what's the point of having us police officers?" Her values are so upright they could shatter the earth 😭

5. 5 破 Breaking Through the Clouds 破云 Huai Shang淮上Danmei (BL)823k WordsCompleted Dark clouds churn over the city. Three years ago, during an anti-drug operation in Gongzhou, a chain of explosions occurred because Commander Jiang Ting made a mistake in his judgment. The anti-narcotics unit suffered heavy casualties. Three years later, Jiang Ting, who should have died in the line of duty and left no remains, miraculously awakens from a vegetative state. His fallen comrades cannot rest in peace. He must return from hell and give everything he has to uncover the bloody, bizarre 2.3MFavorites2.3MClicks/ch3.8MGifts

   Huai Shang's books are absolutely amazing!!! This was the first novel I ever read, and it has a very strong emotional appeal! It's also my favorite book on this entire list! As a crime fiction, it's truly worth reading and savoring repeatedly. The entire 800,000-word novel has absolutely no awkward plot points. The main character is exactly my type: the seme is a younger man with an older woman vibe, and the uke is a stunningly beautiful woman with exceptional abilities but poor health… The romance and plot are interwoven (in layman's terms, it's a bit difficult to understand), and Huai Shang's writing is incredibly superb. I suggest not adding any paragraph comments on your first read, as there will be a major plot twist later. The plot is slightly complex; you can figure out the romance first and then slowly work through the plot. I recommend reading this novel continuously, as it requires some brainpower, and interruptions can easily cause you to get stuck. The young couple is so sweet, and the ending is a happy one (oh well, ignore the angst in the middle, it's a happy ending anyway, yeah). 🐶🌹 It's a very famous novel, I don't need to say more. If you like stories about doctors but not weak, beautiful, strong, and tragic bottoms, you'll definitely click on it. It's my luck to share the same xp with Huai Shang (by the way, I'd also like to recommend "Holding a Lantern to See a Bayonet," which has some strong elements, but the bottom is also this type, that's right, it's Chu Ci, the same world view. People who want to read it can look for it, but it's already closed on Green River).
