The literary girl, Lu Qiucha, accidentally enters the dormitory of the math girl, Han Cailu, in order to explore the rigor of detective novels, and thus begins a series of adventures involving both the mind and body. Can the truth of a detective novel be proven as irrefutably as a mathematical theorem? Can the proof history of Fermat’s Last Theorem, which has plagued the mathematical community for 358 years, be rewritten as a murder mystery? Can cases that seem to lack sufficient evidence for deduction be approached from a different angle to reveal the truth? In the end, how will their friendship conclude? A literary girl with a love of reasoning versus a lonely, cool mathematical genius. A collection of short stories exploring the rigour and freedom of logical thinking. In the name of masters who shine like stars in the history of mathematics, a new way to argue and debate arise. 26
