Name: Ghostly Tales of a Dark Village
Author: Chen Xiaofeng

Synopsis

My mother suffered a hemorrhage during childbirth and barely managed to deliver me before passing away. Rural communities are mostly traditional, and my grandmother held fast to the idea that the family line had to be carried on. When she learned I was a girl, she took an instant dislike to me. For the next few years, I never spoke. Most children start babbling after their first birthday, but I was already four and had yet to utter a single word. One summer vacation, my cousin came to visit. The first time I saw her, I called her “Big Brother.” A few days later, on her way home from school, my cousin collided with a truck while riding her bicycle. Her head was run over, leaving no recognizable remains.

Looking for Satisfying Ghost-Hunting Novels

I'm looking for books similar to "Slay Demons and Devour Evil, Drive Out Spirits in the North!" Does anyone know of a story with a male lead who catches ghosts and has a golden finger? I'd prefer a more serious writing style, not the kind that keeps joking around and thinking it's hilarious.
