A highly rated silly comedy, but the female lead must not be a saintly do-gooder, and she shouldn’t be too cold either, or it gets incredibly boring. I just want the plot to move along.
Horror and Supernatural Stories, The Scarier the Better
Horror novels similar to Three Corpse Tales. I've already read Three Corpse Tales, The Last Bus on Route 13, The Coffin Shop at No. 44, Strange Tales Live, and Don't Push the Corpse-Born Child's Ghost-Pulled Coffin!!!!!

Don't believe the malicious ratings in the comments section, you have to read it for yourself! It's really good, the best supernatural novel I've ever read. I didn't skip any parts and followed the author's pace. It mainly focuses on the female lead, and I think the male lead should be Shen He. Also, I think the author should give the female lead a proper appearance.
It's a very good book; while reading it, I always felt like someone was watching me.
Personally, I think it's really good. Shen He is truly the ideal man—gentle, considerate, and willing to do anything to save you. The female lead, on the other hand, isn't very worldly-wise, and it's not obvious that Shen He likes her 😂. She's the type to grow step by step, and while she might be a bit silly sometimes, she's definitely much better than the protagonists in other books I've read.
It's so good!! The female lead is a little bit naive and sweet though 🌚🌝, but she's also really capable, I love her!! I hope Shen He and the female lead end up together!! Author, keep up the good work!! Mwah!
We're just saying it's really good, okay? It's just that the female lead is a bit too saintly at the beginning, which makes it a little awkward, but it gets better later on and gets even better. It's basically about the female lead's growth process. The only book by the immortal grandmother I've ever read.
This is the first time I've ever shipped a female lead with a ghost, and I really love this couple. I absolutely adore Shen He! I've only read about chapter 80, and I hope Shen He doesn't disappear later on. [Top Post]
This was my first time encountering a novel about a mortician. After reading this one, I looked up similar works. Well, most of them were written from a male perspective, while I personally prefer stories told from a female perspective. I've read a couple of other novels written from a female perspective, but none of them are as good as the mortuary makeup. This is a novel worth reading carefully.
It's great! I hope the author can consider adding a little bit of a romantic storyline between the male and female leads. Although it's a horror novel, that doesn't stop the possibility of a romantic pairing. I really ship Shen He and the female lead! 🤭🤭🤭
It's so good! I love the male lead, but please don't always criticize the female lead. She's already great! Honestly, if I were in that situation, I'd be terrified. At first, seeing those comments criticizing the female lead almost made me give up, but I persevered for Shen He's sake, and then I found it getting better and better. The female lead is also slowly growing... Ah! It's so damn good!!!
The story is very engaging. A naive young girl named Jiang Lin, with the help of Shen He and others, gradually develops some abilities. The relationship between Jiang Lin and Shen He becomes increasingly intriguing, further complicated by the mystery surrounding Shen He's identity. I'm really looking forward to the next developments; I'm on the edge of my seat!
