   I don't like those grand, sweeping fantasy/immortal cultivation stories, so this one is right up my alley. It's about the life of an ordinary girl from Northeast China, where the seeds of her fate were sown from birth. It includes family history, ancestral experiences, and a series of small, karmic tales. There's warmth and helplessness; it's not just about supernatural beings, but also has a strong sense of everyday life.

    Three horror novels. The first one features four men, close friends, one of whom is a veteran who, after leaving the military, works at a funeral home under the Civil Affairs Bureau. There, he begins a strange and eerie life. The novel's humorous and witty narrative style is particularly engaging. The second book is a chilling story that will bring tears to your eyes; it's worth a try—a different kind of eerie tale. Here's one example: the female protagonist is the daughter of a hunter. Her father is ill and needs a fully formed ginseng doll, but it's intercepted by a leader of skeleton soldiers. The male protagonist gains flesh and blood and lives with the female protagonist, but due to his own obsession, he fails. The female protagonist falls ill, just like her father, needing the ginseng doll… The male protagonist bids her farewell; he's leaving… In his confusion, the female protagonist is given medicine by a young skeleton soldier who once cared for her. Two days later, she recovers, knowing that the man has returned to being a skeleton. From then on, the girl begins her search. After a lifetime of searching, finally, on a full moon night, the woman felt she was about to be reunited with him… Unbeknownst to her, not far away, a pair of withered, skeletal feet paused briefly, then silently moved away… They were about to be together… The third book contains eeriness, unlike any other. The story is thrilling, a short episodic narrative. It's dark, just past 9:30 PM. Deep within the cemetery at No. 13 Xuanyuan Road lies an antique shop with a quaint, antique charm.

    In the first book, the male protagonist did not come back on the female protagonist's birthday. The reason was that as the boss of a horror game, he had to work overtime and could not come back. The female protagonist thought it was the male protagonist's excuse and broke up with her. As a result, when she was about to die, she entered the horror game and met the male protagonist. The two passed the game sweetly. The second book is about a super cute and charming female protagonist VS a yandere and aggressively obsessive puppy male protagonist. After Qiao Yinyue attended the funeral, she was inexplicably entangled by a male ghost. To avoid the male ghost's harassment, she fell off the balcony and entered a horror game.
