Features: Although this novel is a work of fiction, the author places great emphasis on psychological portrayal in character development, making the characters vivid and lifelike—a rare achievement that makes readers feel as if everything is real and happening around them. The author's writing style is also quite elegant, especially in blending emotions with characters, where a few subtle strokes can fully reveal the inner world of the characters. The book describes the study and life of a group of youthful and beautiful female trainees at a police academy. Over three years, their experiences are both amusing and absurd. Physically frail yet subjected to nearly brutal physical training, timid yet forced to deal with gruesome, dismembered corpses, and emotionally rich yet living a monastic-like existence; facing the pressure of gender discrimination and the difficulty of finding employment in a male-dominated field, each scenario is captivating and reveals a lesser-known side of these women. As women, they may not be suited for the police profession. The limitations of the recruitment system and the harsh reality of job scarcity cause these aspiring female trainees to collide with the challenges of unemployment. Thus, the long-cherished dream of becoming a police officer is on the verge of being shattered.
