   This book is really good. It's already finished. The female lead is incredibly powerful; basically, no ghost can beat her. There's a romantic pairing, and the male lead is also great. I don't remember the female lead's name very clearly because I read it a long time ago, but this book left a very deep impression on me. In fact, there are only two books on metaphysics and ghost-catching that I've finished reading on my bookshelf, so this one is definitely worth reading.

   Check out these four books featuring exceptionally cool female protagonists who can catch ghosts: 1. A woman stronger than the man, skilled at catching ghosts, with a proud, vain, and charming male lead. 2. A seemingly ordinary fortune teller who later discovers she's actually a master of metaphysics and a domineering CEO, a story of love after an arranged marriage. 3. A construction worker who livestreams her fortune telling, later revealing she's a wealthy heiress with an even more impressive identity; the male lead is a minor character, but his identity is equally extraordinary. 4. A calm, intelligent, and resourceful female protagonist who helps the dead resolve their inner demons, uncovering her own secret identity in the process. The male lead is roguish yet wise; a story of two strong characters.

    The female lead is very strong, but she also has flaws. The main plot revolves around ghost hunting, there's no romantic pairing, and it also includes some crime-solving elements. It's just so entertaining.
