The Scarier, the Better, and the Protagonist Must Be a Girl
Looking for a female protagonist in a suspense, supernatural, horror, or thriller story. No male lead and no love interest. She should be independent, strong, and career-minded. A rise from weakness or being powerful from the start are both fine. I just want a female-oriented story.

Compared with many supernatural novels on the market, the biggest highlight of this book is its solid approach to folklore. The author does not just make up a few customs to make up the plot. The rules of bringing funeral umbrellas, breaking pots, and funeral details are all in line with the real local customs. The whole story is hidden in the anomalies of daily rules. The setting of the hollow village is very realistic. The villagers have their own thoughts, and the dialogues have hidden foreshadowings, slowly unraveling the cocoons. When reading, I felt like I was an archaeological team member, immersing myself in exploring the truth hidden in the village.
Step on the first floor
Looking forward to the update, keep it up I am used to reading assembly-line supernatural novels, so I was particularly surprised to read this one. It is willing to concentrate on polishing local details, is willing to seriously study folk logic, and slowly unfold suspense. It does not pursue instant excitement, but focuses on lingering thoughts and horror. It can be seen that the author has carefully polished the content. This is not a fast-food online article. It is worth calming down and slowly catching up. The two lines of the story are well written in parallel. One line is to find out the truth about He Xiulian's death, and the other line is to explore the secret that the entire village collectively protects. While dealing with the many doubts brought about by a funeral in front of him, he slowly unearthed the long-hidden past events of the entire village. The two clues intersect with each other and are related to each other, constantly raising new questions and making people keep thinking about the follow-up plot direction.
Beautiful, it's rare to see such chilling writing
Is it a real experience? The author has a very in-depth understanding of funeral folk customs, from the specialties of tofu rice to the rules of mourning umbrellas, from the meaning of honors in breaking pots to the Feng Shui orientation of the old house. The details are solid and not based on imagination.
Looking forward to updates!
