    These books are absolutely not to be missed! The first one is a suspenseful ghost-hunting comedy with a female lead who's a bit eccentric but incredibly intelligent. The whole book is both funny and touching, with logic hidden within the tears, and each story is unforgettable. The second one focuses on metaphysics and fortune-telling, but also includes ghost-hunting. The story unfolds gently, allowing readers to appreciate the mysteries of metaphysics and destiny, leaving a lasting impression. The third one is a "title-detracted" series, featuring a cute little girl fortune teller and a cunning older man catching ghosts and leveling up. The fourth one has a fresh theme, with He Xiangu searching for corpses and undergoing numerous role changes, making readers laugh while also feeling a touch of sadness. The fifth one is about a little underworld official named Zaozi, who tells fortunes, catches ghosts, and levels up. The only drawback is that the author is a bit slow-paced. Each one is a must-read, all highly rated books.

    [Learned] A powerful figure from the celestial realm failed his tribulation and transmigrated into the body of Jiang Lusheng, the true heiress who was murdered by the adopted daughter of the Jiang family. Her parents and brothers treated her like trash, casually marrying her off to the sickly eldest son of the wealthy Xu family. Jiang Lusheng quickly calculated that her lucky charm had arrived! Jiang Lusheng and Xu Chengyun, one long-lived but without wealth, the other wealthy but short-lived, were destined to have complementary fortunes. Their marriage, accumulating merit, would surely allow them to dominate the world. From then on, Jiang Lusheng began her metaphysical livestream, fortune-telling, ghost-catching, and prophetic predictions, thriving in the industry. Top celebrities humbled themselves, powerful figures visited her door, and she easily manipulated powerful figures from all walks of life. The Jiang family, blinded by greed, declared: "Swindlers and swindlers, a disgrace! The Jiang family has no such daughter!" Jiang Lusheng coldly smiled. What was the Jiang family? She would overturn the Xu family's table! Not only did she reclaim everything that belonged to her, but she also inadvertently conquered her contracted husband's empire! Jiang Lusheng, the powerful figure, said with bright, sparkling eyes, "Captain Xu, we'll split the family fortune fifty-fifty, and from now on, we'll each go our own way. It's a marriage of convenience, don't be a sore loser." Xu Chengyun replied in a deep, pleasant voice, "The family fortune is all yours. My lady, could you grant me a real title?"
