Name: The Forbidden Grounds of the Ancient Temple
Author: Ghost King of Western Hunan

Synopsis

The old master was digging a well when he unearthed the corpse of a beautiful woman. From then on, my family was thrown into chaos.

A local “expert” told my family that the only way to save my life was for me to enter the temple business, so I became a temple-restoration craftsman.

A mass grave in the black pine forests of the Northeast, an airplane crash site on an uninhabited island in the Bohai Sea, a valley of medicinal herbs in the uninhabited zone of Shennongjia, and a haunted village hidden in the forests along the China-Vietnam border.

In all these remote, uninhabited places, imposing ancient temples built of gray tiles and blue bricks can be found.

What hidden motives lie behind all those various “good Samaritans” who donate money to build temples?

As a temple-restoration craftsman, I can say with confidence that I understand the meaning of a temple better than any monk.

Ancient temples are nothing like you imagine…

Looking for Metaphysical Fiction, but Nothing Involving the Entertainment Industry or Livestreaming

Please, I'm in a reading slump. I really can't get into metaphysical novels about livestreaming in the entertainment industry lately. They're so dumbed down! My brain just won't take it. Please recommend something where the protagonist isn't a pushover, silently tolerating insults without fighting back.
