At the age of forty-two, Mrs. C escaped from her empty and depressed life alone. In a casino in Monte Carlo, she met a lost young man who had lost all his property and was desperately preparing to die. Whether driven by some noble feelings or a momentary passion, Mrs. C tried to save this man whose name she didn't even know... In twenty-four hours, she experienced crazy love and tragic loss.

A few years ago, I rarely finished reading a fairy tale novel. I remember binge-reading this novel for several days in a row, and I was fascinated by it. The protagonist traveled through another world and came to the Demon Sect, which cultivates powerful ghosts. Relying on blood, violence and luck, he grew up along the way. The single female protagonist. "Xianxia Dark Literature"
The buried classic of Xianxia! ! ! A must-read for those who like fairy novels! !
Written by a girl, the male protagonist's attributes become a mystery
Single heroine. It's not considered fairy grass yet, but it doesn't have any clues. Just like the title of the novel, it has something to do with refining corpses and driving them away, and the protagonist is trying to figure out his sanity.
