   Sisters, I've struck gold! This book, *No. 13 Lantern Lane*, is a cure for all kinds of romantic fatigue. No romantic pairings, all female leads, daily bickering and playful arguments, but they'll fight tooth and nail together when things get tough. The second story is about Hongling's embroidered shoes from a Republican-era opera troupe, which reappear thirty years later in a box at an abandoned opera school, brand new and even moving on their own! When three girls livestreaming an adventure get trapped in a building, the person in the mirror is wearing their shoes… When I read the part where Hongling hugs her daughter and says, "Mommy, I don't blame you," I couldn't stop crying. It turns out some things don't refuse to leave; they just aren't being told what to do.

Just after midnight, the gates of the underworld opened wide, and the baby was fought over by hundreds of ghosts. A fierce battle ensued between the deaf old woman, Grandpa Li, the decapitated ghost Chang Baye, and ghosts like the paper figures in mourning clothes and the hanged ghost. The newborn extremely yin child ate the hanged ghost's tongue and possessed the woman, wreaking havoc in all directions, but this only lasted a quarter of an hour. Just as the deaf old woman and Grandpa Li decided to eat the "bone of a thousand-year-old wronged soul" to save the Wang couple, a three-meter-tall snow spirit appeared, frightening away the ghosts and leaving the baby with an earring.

    Chen Laicai: "You don't believe me? Believe it or not, if some weird player could kill you all, they would hand you over without hesitation to save their own lives!" Chen Laicai's face was contorted, a mixture of excitement and madness in his eyes. "They absolutely will!" [Once the secret is exposed, they will only abandon you; no one will save you!] [This is Cleaver Liu's legacy! Cleaver Liu is dead, and this is all exposed treasure. Anyone who knows about it will come to fight for it!] Zhao Ping'an remained calm, saying, "Oh." Chen Laicai's expression froze, and he frowned, somewhat bored. "Why are you reacting like this?" Back when they faced Cleaver Liu, they couldn't abandon Zhao Ping'an. In the future, no matter who it is, they will never abandon Zhao Ping'an! A smile appeared on the TV screen as he handed the cut steak to Zhao Ping'an. "That's right, because we are family."

He's adept at seeing through the essence of things and digging out innocence from them. Luckily, he has family who fight alongside him and a haven of rest. [Laughs]
