The male lead is incredibly capable, rich, and powerful. At first, he doesn't believe in the occult and only trusts science. The female lead also appears on variety shows and is so absurdly funny that she leaves the director completely dumbfounded.

It's good. Before reading it, I thought it would be one of those "meme-filled" stories where only the synopsis is worth reading, but it turned out to be a well-written story about metaphysics. The only downside is that the way it portrays foreigners' online comments sounds too much like Chinese people, which is a bit distracting.
I like this book not because of the female protagonist's character design. There are many novels with ghost and Taoist priest characters, but the author manages to write it in a way that's "slightly" realistic, without being overly fantastical, which creates a wonderfully humorous feel.
I finished reading it all. Everything about the relatives and the female lead's personality was exactly what I wanted. I'm a very picky person, but this book is surprisingly well-suited to my taste. It's incredibly good, with a fantastic plot full of twists and turns. I absolutely adore the female lead's character, and the ending didn't have any of my usual quirks. It's a rare find indeed.
Delicious! 😋 This type of book is rare, perfect for sisters interested in mild horror, Taoism, and cultivation. It's not without a romantic subplot, but the author is clearly a mother who loves young women. The female lead's skills are more than enough to handle any mishaps. While it's funny, it's also very cool and womanly when it gets serious.
It's a great read. The female lead has a very positive, youthful spirit. It has the writing style of the paperback books that featured young girls as the main characters. The male lead is well-placed, and the romance is pure and refreshing. It doesn't have any of those "strong female lead, stronger male lead" tropes, and it's completely free of any plot holes.
One thing I really liked was the female lead's character; she's no longer perfect. The male lead doesn't need to be incredibly powerful or outstanding either; all he needs to do is love the female lead exceptionally much and be willing to sacrifice everything for her. So overall, I was very satisfied. Another thing is that the female lead and her best friends are all great. 😘
I don't know much about Taoism or anything like that, I just read it as extracurricular reading. I really enjoyed the plot. I'm actually quite wary of fantasy novels with romantic pairings, afraid they'll follow the same formula. But in this one, the romance felt secondary; the main focus was on the events that happened to the female lead abroad. She's very calm, decisive, and passionate.
It's good! Although there's a romantic pairing, the female lead is dominant and has relatively little screen time, which is acceptable. After all, how much romance can you expect from an incredibly oblivious and straightforward woman? 🤦 The ghost-hunting part is also quite witty. Also, it's great that she didn't choose to do live streaming (I'm so tired of seeing similar plots in other stories).
Although I've only read up to chapter six, it's absolutely amazing! It's so much more interesting than your average ghost-hunting novel, and the male lead is so adorable—he's way beyond 99.99% Of male lead characters! That alone makes me determined to keep reading until the very end! 💕 Author, keep up the good work with the updates!
This is the kind of metaphysical novel I enjoy reading! 👍 However, I skipped a few chapters where the detective story seemed to involve other people, because I was more interested in the protagonist's personal life. 😂 I hope the author writes and updates more often! 😘 I've already followed!
