   This is a great book! It covers the three laws of ghosts, but it's not fan fiction!! A completely new storyline and a grand world connecting the past, present, and future! A friendly reminder: if you're just looking for a fast-paced, exciting read, you might want to skip this one. The excitement builds gradually; you have to find clues and rules to survive in the supernatural world—it's thrilling and exciting! Every little part is packed with exciting moments. The main theme is the resurgence of the supernatural, proving that the supernatural cannot be eradicated! The writing is strong, and the pacing is excellent. Moreover, every character has their highlights; it's not just about showering the protagonist with all the glory. Finally, a word of caution: I really don't recommend this book to people who are looking for a completely fast-paced, exciting read from the start.

    Reader note

    Come on, this is an absolutely pure horror novel! No cultivation, no infinite flow, no supernatural elements. The protagonists are all ordinary people. Don't read the first two books; they have low ratings, but they're definitely worth reading. In the first book, the protagonist is born croaking like a toad. His family are pig butchers. Before his birth, his grandfather said children shouldn't be born in the Year of the Pig and insisted on kicking him aborted. Later, it's said his maternal grandfather was cruel and always used toads to save people, and now retribution has come upon him—his grandson has become a toad… An elderly man who has already passed away comes to propose marriage, and his grandfather says he's marrying a little dragon girl from the back mountain [laughing and crying emojis]. The second book's protagonist is a college student who helps his friend alleviate a curse on his ghost wife after having dinner at his friend's house. He's then constantly hunted by the ghost (his ghost wife), but luckily encounters a Taoist priest (Old Lu). Old Lu was actually there to help the protagonist's friend with the curse, but the protagonist messed it up. Later, to solve the ghost wife problem, he's forced to become the owner of the Empty House, helping ghosts and monsters. (Note: Most owners of the Empty House are ghosts; it seems only the protagonist is one. There are also some loyal ghosts among them.) I read the third book because of what the author said, and it became increasingly addictive. The protagonist was born dead, but suddenly, due to a person who's been acting crazy, he's taken to extend his life. (Actually, I really wanted to go into more detail, but there are too many foreshadowing elements; saying even a little would be a spoiler.) The main characters are from the Zhang family. The Zhang, Wang, Li, and Maqing families are collectively known as the Four Great Exorcist Families. The Zhang family, having exorcised too many ghosts, is cursed, destined to have no descendants and be childless. The first two brothers have already died. The grandfather, having no other choice, arranges for the protagonist to marry a ghost wife to prolong his life, allowing him to live to 18. At 18, the ghost wife takes his life, and only after the family is killed by a skinning ghost do they realize… it was all a lie… The last book also features a child destined to die at birth, but somehow managed to stay alive for one more night. There, he meets a Taoist priest who explains that the child is a vengeful ghost who escaped and chose to be reincarnated into the Zhang family to avoid being captured by the underworld soldiers. His entire life will involve dealing with ghosts. There's a lot of Sichuan dialect in the story, which is quite enjoyable to listen to.
