    The female lead is very strong, but not everything can be discerned at a glance; she can only be judged by her facial features. She can fly on a sword and draw talismans. However, she is a cultivator with explosive combat power and prefers real fighting. The male lead is an immortal who appears very infrequently; the first 300,000 words focus on the female lead and a group of police officers catching ghosts and solving murder cases. The author himself confirms that the romance only starts to feel cheesy around the 300,000-word mark. The female lead's personality isn't overly dramatic or impulsive because she was the sect leader of a major cultivation sect in her past life, and she doesn't easily express her emotions. Those who mind this should not read. The plot is strong, the pacing is smooth and tight, but there are quite a few foreshadowing elements. However, with a short word count, 300,000 words shouldn't be too difficult to read.

    The female lead isn't the kind of character who flaunts her talents. Instead of the traditional "real or fake heiress" trope, she solves one problem after another through her own abilities. The plot is well-structured, and the focus is on how she chooses to handle the situation after helping her family through their ordeal.
