The novel uses multiple narrative perspectives and a first-person perspective to tell the story of the rifts in the families of these four teenagers. Some parents are naturally flawed, easily prompt to anger and become s*aves to violence. Some are forced to suffer by life and have nowhere to pour their bitterness, driving them to vent their sufferings on their children. Some parents separate halfway and transfer their disappointment to their children.

Four teenagers who are in apprehensive and confusing predicaments. Their similar painful experiences made them quickly become friends. During the summer vacation after their college entrance examination, they enjoyed the rare happiness in each other’s company. Starting a college life separated them from each other after being on the same road for a short time. Ten years later, the appearance of the mysterious number 170503 revealed a secret past.

The background family is crucial to the growth of teenagers, and some people may take a lifetime to heal from the injuries they suffer while growing up. The novel profoundly reveals this social issue and should arouse the attention and thinking of society and parents. The mutual understanding and friendship between peers with the same fate add warmth to the novel, which is both warm and healing. <<less

Driel Stein, the Lord of Arhon. ... more>>

The unfortunate fact that he did not love his wife, Lune Hellid, was well-known to most.

“To all the gods I swear;

I will never love someone like you.

Rather than spending the rest of my life with you, I would rather die on the battlefield.”

Lune, having heard insults from her husband on the day of their wedding,

became the world’s most miserable wife, but she did not resent Driel.

Instead, she understood Driel.

“I’ve begged you countless times to not choose me as your husband.

Now that you’ve ruined me, how do you feel?”

It was because Lune Hellid had ruined Driel Stein’s life.

*

After three years, the husband who left for the battlefield like he was committing su*cide has returned.

To seek forgiveness for her mistakes, Lune decided to get a divorce immediately.

In the winter of three years ago, the first locked room mu*der in Japanese history was committed.... more>>

All of the evidence pointed to the defendant. It was certain they were guilty. And yet, they were found innocent and released. Why? Because the crime scene was a perfect locked room no one from the police or the prosecutor's office could solve.

"Since the room was locked, it was impossible for the defendant to have committed the mu*der. It's no different than if they had a perfect alibi." That was the argument of the defense, and that was the argument the judge sided with.

The ruling sent a ripple throughout Japanese society. No matter how suspicious you were or how much evidence you left behind, as long as you managed to create a locked room that no one could solve, you were immune from prosecution. With the common anti-mystery fiction talking point "there's no reason anyone would ever actually commit a locked room mu*der" completely overturned, the rate of locked room mu*ders in Japan skyrocketed.

When the police proved unable to deal with the surge of locked room crime, the Ministry of Justice published an official categorization of all known locked room tricks as an investigative aid. When that proved insufficient, Division Zero of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, a police division dedicated solely to solving locked rooms, was created. When that still proved insufficient, locked room detectives, private investigators specializing in locked rooms, were officially licensed by the state and authorized to participate in police investigations. Calling a locked room appraiser, someone specializing in searching buildings for secret passages, is now a common first step in criminal investigations.

On the other side of the spectrum, locked room agents, assassins and crime planners specializing in locked room mu*ders, have become some of the most notorious criminals in Japanese history, and even a cult worshiping the scenes of locked rooms as a way to purify the souls of the deceased has made rapid inroads into Japan.

The protagonist, Kasumi Kuzushiro, is an introverted, somewhat cynical high school student who loves mysteries.

Fortunately, another of Kasumi's childhood friends, Shitsuri Mitsumura, is the greatest locked room expert in the world, and can always discover the truth.

Hm? How did a high school girl become the greatest locked room expert in the world?

It's simple.

She's...

Lin Beifan traversed to a world filled with countless nations and masters, becoming the emperor of a nation with the “Empire Sandbox” as his golden finger (Cheat).... more>>

As part of the imperial family, every move by Chu Yuan in this game of chess is made with apprehension, fearing that with a moment of inattentiveness, the whole match will be lost in a single move.... more>>

Ascending to the throne at eighteen, not half a year passes before civil strife erupts in Yun Nan. Though the thoughts of the old guard at the imperial court are not exactly identical, they are all waiting to see how the new emperor will put an end to this.

Unexpectedly, before this side could make a move, a few thousand miles away, the King of Xi Nan, Duan Bai Yue, had already personally commanded troops to attack in all directions; not half a year had passed when peace was restored.

Sparse moonlight shines into the palace; Chu Yuan stamped the wax seal himself, and had a secret letter sent urgently to Yun Nan 800 miles away — this time, what must we(1) give in exchange?

Brush marks passed through the back of the paper; it almost can be seen, when writing this line, how angry the young emperor was.

Duan Bai Yue spread out a piece of paper unhurriedly, replying with only one word.

You.

Note (1): Chu Yuan is using the royal ‘we’ here.
