The Seven-Day Detective

The female lead suffers from amnesia every seven days, driving the male lead crazy. This setup definitely gives the plot a lot of room for maneuver. The first few cases were rather bland, but the later ones were really exciting. Also, my favorite characters were surprisingly the minor supporting characters, Li Yang and Yu Yue.

This book gets better the more you read. The beginning is a bit bland, but you'll discover a lot of detail and foreshadowing as you go on. The writing style is a blend of rationality and sensibility, with some humorous moments when describing lighthearted details. The plot is generally believable, except for the limited use of modern weaponry. However, the author has explained this, respecting historical accuracy, so it's somewhat acceptable. Also, could you please give Luo Wenwu a wife? He's all single, poor thing.
