The male lead is handsome, charming the female lead, and devoted to her. Their relationship develops sweetly. The first book is an ancient ghost-catching novel. The female lead comes from a family of metaphysicians, and she is the most talented. The male lead comes from a gold-mining family; the two families were old friends. He falls in love with her at first sight and is extremely obedient to her! The second book is a completed work by the same author, a period ghost-catching novel. The female lead is born from a coffin and raised by her grandmother. She's a sweet and adorable child who learns skills from a young age, excelling in ghost-catching, feng shui, and fortune-telling!

    The author's initial intention in writing this book was to help readers avoid pitfalls. The book contrasts the simple, honest spiritual practitioners of yesteryear with the charlatans of today who charge exorbitant fees and exploit people for personal gain. Drawing on his own experiences of encountering spirits and establishing altars from childhood, the author objectively explains the hardships of the path of spirit mediumship, avoiding the deification of spirits and offering a rational perspective on folk beliefs.

    Highly recommended! Although it's a new book, it gets more and more interesting the more you read. The female lead is a poor yet arrogant genius in the Xuanmen (Taoist sect), and the male lead is a seemingly gentle and understanding but actually possessive and gloomy male ghost.
