A Reborn Strange Tales From A Chinese Studio
I Read This Book Before, but Can't Find It Now 😭
I think the male lead was a dragon, and the female lead had a seal inside her that contained a celestial fox. The dragon clan apparently couldn't ascend because the celestial fox had harmed people. Later, I think the female lead ascended, and she and the male lead even had a baby 😭 I've gone through my reading history for ages but can't find it.

Horror Game, Ghost Protagonist, No Female Lead, Not a Doormat
Recommend a Book to Get Me Out of This Reading Slump I've Been Stuck in for Over Six Months

Well, after finishing the book, I'm still a little reluctant to see it end. I'm curious whether Wangchuan and Luoqi ended up together. In short, I really don't want it to end. Sigh.
It's super engaging, with a very clear plot and a great flow from chapter to chapter. The author's writing is excellent, keep it up!
I really love this understated, straightforward writing style that gradually unfolds the story. It's been a long time since I've read anything like this; it's so healing, with a gentle and lingering feeling, very similar to *Nan Yan Zhai Bi Lu* and *Ya She*. I really love it, I don't know why the rating isn't high.
This is a great novel, but I haven't had enough! I hope Wangchuan and Luoyi can be together, and then Xuehu and Luo Sichen can be together. I really hope there will be a sequel!
This book is truly excellent. Each chapter tells a story, and they are all interconnected. The stories are vivid and engaging, and although there are occasional disjointed parts, it doesn't detract from the reading experience! Why is the rating so low, with few recommendations and reviews? I hope the author will write more interesting works like this in the future.
Could you please "change" the chapter titles? They're so tiring to read T_T
The series is tightly structured, fast-paced, and very engaging.
It's very interestingly written, somewhat similar to "The Silent Shop," with a series of short stories, but it's a bit long.
It's very good. I haven't read a novel that unfolds slowly and deliberately like this in a long time. The writing is excellent, the logic is clear, and the story is touching. If you're like me and tired of reading other novels, I recommend this one.
The only book I've read seriously. I admire the kind heart beneath Wangchuan's cold and profound exterior, his principled yet compassionate nature...
