    This book is a classic example of a "Frankenstein's monster" web novel. It haphazardly sews together popular elements like domineering CEOs, body doubles, the entertainment industry, metaphysics, and ghost hunting. While the plot is entertaining, it feels somewhat disjointed. The female lead, Li Yang, has a "cursed fate," which explains her dependence on the male lead, but it also makes her actions seem somewhat passive. The male lead, Shen Heyao, aside from his "living Yama" persona and his later dramatic pursuit of his wife, offers almost no memorable moments. The most jarring aspect is the abrupt transitions between Li Yang's shifts between the entertainment industry and ghost hunting. However, if you're looking for a mindless, light read to kill time, it's acceptable.
