The Mysticism Genre Is Really Going Downhill. Don't Recommend No-CP Books at Random. Do You Even Read Them?

Fortune-Telling and Metaphysics, a Powerful Female Lead, Preferably with Romance
Something related to metaphysics, with a very capable female lead. Not too long or too short, hehe. It has to be complete. No transmigration into a book or ancient-to-modern transmigration.

I want female-audience fiction, something fairly typical that really captures the genre's characteristics. Are there any?
Looking for High-Quality Fortune-Telling Street Vendor Novels
Are there any high-quality novels about setting up a stall or opening a shop to tell fortunes? I'm tired of all the livestream fortune-telling stories. I prefer face-to-face fortune-telling because it feels more realistic.
Looking for Women’s Fiction About Horror, the Supernatural, and Ghost Hunting. Nothing Too Boring, Please!
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.
Looking for a Hilarious Ghost Story, So Absurd It'll Make You Laugh Until Your Stomach Hurts at Midnight
Any novels that are especially ridiculous and hilarious, and also have ghosts?

The content is excellent, highly recommended! Keep up the good work!
Finally finished watching it, it was great! Very good! 👍👍
I really like the female lead's character. She's not arrogant, not a saint, calm, and not the type to play dumb to deceive others, nor does she demand everyone's obedience. Sometimes she seems like an immortal, detached from worldly desires, yet she does have ordinary human emotions.
I like that each story flows smoothly and doesn't drag on. Unlike some authors whose writing is so padded with words that you don't even want to read it anymore, this author is good. Many of the stories are connected in a fresh way, making the reading experience engaging and not tedious.
I love reading metaphysical novels, and this one is absolutely amazing! Highly recommend it! 😳😳😳
It's so incredibly good, but it's too short! Help, author, please update soon! Waaaaah!
It's not bad, but the overall plot is a bit slow. The Qi family is probably the mastermind, and there might be other hidden figures behind the scenes. The female lead's recovery of strength is also quite slow, and there's no mention of her investigating why the people from the old temple disappeared or fell into poverty—it's only mentioned briefly.
So good! 😍 I didn't skip a single chapter. It's rare for a book to keep me reading over 500 chapters. I read it quietly by myself. There's one unresolved question: How did Qi Yanyan know that Gu Xueqing's disciple in her past life had problems? The character designs and plot development in this book are all excellent. Thumbs up! ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧
Oh my god, I finally finished watching it! 💕 The female lead is the most awesome character in the whole story. There is a romantic pairing, but not much of a romance, and the male lead doesn't have much screen time. The hidden big boss wasn't defeated until over 500 episodes ago, and there are still 20-30 chapters left after his death.
It's a great watch! The main plot is well-handled, and each short story is also quite good, depicting the evil in human nature, heartwarming moments, obsessive love, and selfless love. Although there is a male lead, he's practically nonexistent, appearing very little, but he perfectly fits the female lead's character. Highly recommended!
