This work has received high acclaim on its original publishing platform, JJWXC, and I'm enjoying it thus far. As someone who grew up watching TVB dramas, this story hits me right in the nostalgia feels. The FL possesses a unique gift: the ability to glimpse the final moments before someone's demise upon encountering their corpse. This supernatural talent adds a layer of intrigue to the story, especially since how much she can see varies depending on the parts and how fresh the body is. Starting her journey as a clerk within the police department, she rises to the prestigious rank of detective, finding solace and camaraderie within her team—a bond akin to family. Each case is meticulously presented with a blend of logic and systematic investigation, leading to satisfying resolutions. Unable to overtly identify the culprits, she adeptly pieces together clues and evidence to link the mu*ders to their perpetrators.While her ability is a central aspect; she relies equally on her intellect, diligence, deep understanding of human nature, and sharp deductive skills. Her compassion and empathy make her more than just someone with supernatural abilities. Though the suspense may be somewhat subdued by the FL's ability to recognize the faces/certain characteristics of mu*derers, the intrigue lies in witnessing how each case unfolds. The mystery is what initially draws readers in, but it's the heartfelt connections FL shares with her family, team, and people she encounters that keep them hooked. It's the warmth and depth of these relationships that make the story shine. The romance looks to be slow burning and the ML is the captain of the team. Will edit this review if anything changes as I read further into the novel.
