Looking for a Completed Story with a Heroine Who Catches Ghosts, Knows the Occult, and Reads Faces
Palace Intrigue, Palace Intrigue, Pure Palace Intrigue
I’m trying to find a palace-intrigue novel. I think it involved transmigration. The heroine didn’t love the emperor, though he seemed to love her. Later, once their son had grown up, the emperor grew wary of her. She gave him a drug that made him impotent and left him irritable, and so on. He eventually died suddenly.

Female Lead Who Can Read Divination Signs and Practice Mysticism
Any Imaginative Historical Romance Novels Rated 9.0 or Higher by Over 100,000 Readers?
Looking for books similar to "The Xie Family's Short-Lived Ghost Lived to Be a Hundred". An imaginative historical romance, but nothing too exaggerated or over-the-top. The plot should make sense, the romance should be clear, and the female lead should be ambitious and clear-headed.

Book Recommendations, Please!
Any recommendations for a novel where the female lead is shy and insecure, and the male lead is the school bully type?

Funny Historical-Era Ghost-Hunting Stories I Read a Long Time Ago

The female lead is an empress and can hear the conversations between the System and its Host. After completing wishes with the System's help, she gradually grows taller. Her world has been riddled with Systems transmigrating into it, and she's very good at putting them to work for her country.

This is an ancient Chinese metaphysics novel with good writing and a tight plot. It's a fairly enjoyable read; the female lead doesn't know everything just by divination, she still needs to investigate. The synopsis mentions her father calling her "Lord Ye," but this doesn't seem to happen; her father only learns of her official position in the finale.
Can I claim the coins with one click?
To be honest, there was a historical romance novel I really enjoyed reading before, a ghost-hunting story without a romantic pairing, and I haven't been able to find a comparable one since. The plot and the female lead's personality in this one really suited my taste. Although there were some errors and illogical parts, it was generally good, and I finished it in one go.
I clicked on it by accident, and it got more and more interesting as I read on 🤭🤭 No pairing supported.
The story is short and easy to read. There's no romantic subplot; it mainly focuses on the female protagonist solving cases and helping her family and herself regain their stolen luck and merit. Fans of crime dramas should check it out. The only slight incongruity is the clash between a traditional master and a system-wielding cheat code, and the villains aren't fully developed. However, the mysteries are quickly revealed as the plot unfolds. Writing is hard work, keep it up!
Interesting, the content is excellent 😊 The ending came too quickly, and the side stories aren't finished yet 🍉
It's really good! I won't spoil it, just go watch it yourself. Highly recommended!
It's fast-paced, the female lead emphasizes cause and effect, and the plot is tight and well-structured; it's worth watching. After watching for so long, I still think it's alright, but the plot feels a bit draggy.
I prefer ancient-themed novels about mysticism. The female lead has strong moral principles, and the plot is also quite good.
It's quite good. There's not much of a romantic subplot, so it doesn't feel drawn out, although some parts felt a bit familiar. Overall, it's alright. The female lead's family members didn't hold her back either. The ending just felt a bit rushed. Worth watching.
