Synopsis

[Mystical, plot-driven story + ghost hunting and demon-slaying + a few secret identities + punishing scumbags + heroine who grows over time]

Twenty years ago, the crown prince plotted a rebellion, and tens of thousands were killed.

Twenty years later, Song Qinghe, reduced to nothing but a head, was carried out of her coffin by grave robbers.

The moment they opened the box, the robbers were frightened away by the smiling head inside.

Song Qinghe: “I only wanted to thank him. I didn’t mean to scare him.”

To make it easier to travel the world, she found a recently deceased body to use, since all she had left was her head. But the body’s former owner had a powerful grudge, often causing her head and body to separate and terrifying passersby.

After thinking it over, she decided she had better find her own body.

She didn’t find her body, but she did run into all kinds of monsters and demons.

Looking at their evil souls, Song Qinghe licked her lips and grinned like a lovesick fool. “Brother, you smell delicious. Since you came right to my door, I won’t hold back. Time to dig in.”

She swallowed one vicious ghost and monster after another, destroying their bodies and devouring their souls, making their power part of her own and leaving no threat behind.

Song Qinghe set herself a modest goal: to become a ghost immortal.

As she cultivates and searches for her body, the truth about her death twenty years ago begins to emerge.

When she returns to the capital, everyone who knows her is thrown into a panic!

It's really good! The female lead is clear about her grudges and isn't a saint; she's strong. It's just that there are always some crazy people in the comments trying to pair her up with someone else 😄 We're a female-oriented novel, so please take care of the female lead, okay? Don't always focus on how devoted the men around her are.

The writing is superb; not a single plot point is wasted. Any doubts raised earlier are resolved later. It's an exceptionally good story; I haven't read such a good novel on Tomato in a long time.

Wow, it's been so long since I've read such a good suspense novel! The female protagonist, who currently only has a head and has lost her memory, embarks on a journey of exploration to find her body. I was both scared and eager to read on, and I binged the whole thing! Looking forward to the next installment! 😘😘

How could I not give such a great and hilarious book five stars? Keep it up, author! If you update more often, you'll have more money than you can spend by Chinese New Year, and you'll become both beautiful and handsome! Finally finished watching, looking forward to the second part.

It's a great read. The writing style is smooth and vivid, making it feel like watching a TV drama unfold in my mind while reading. The plot is intricately woven, and I was surprised that "Master Wang's" disguise technique would be used later on. It's excellent; the descriptions are concise and to the point, without any unnecessary details or dragging.

👍👍👍👍👍It's great! The female lead is ruthless towards her enemies, and her actions are incredibly decisive. She's especially cruel to the mandrill, not even sparing his soul. I love it!

I usually don't click on classical Chinese texts, but this time I clicked on it by chance and was immediately captivated. The author gave me a wonderful surprise! This story differs from traditional metaphysical or ancient romance novels. The female lead is naive and somewhat comical, reminding me of Feng Baobao. The plot is also quite fast-paced, and the supporting characters are well-developed.

So far, it's going well. Maintaining this pace feels good. I don't want a male lead or any romance; I want it to be a strong female lead story. The combination of a female ghost and a Taoist priest catching ghosts along the way is quite interesting.

The premise is very fresh, and I like the female lead's personality—not a saintly figure, but not a dark one either. Highly recommended!!!

(Spoilers included) This is a fantastic read. Unlike other novels where the female lead pretends to be weak while secretly being strong, constantly agonizing over how to prevent her from recognizing others, this one directly reveals her identity, making for a very satisfying read! However, the story of Qingyue and Ping'an is incredibly gripping.
