The midnight readings in the abandoned school building never cease, and freshmen are disappearing one after another—it turns out that 60 years ago, someone made a contract with a "demon," using fresh souls to maintain "immortality"! The female protagonist, Chi Ying, doesn't rely on brute force; she uses modern contract law to dismantle the loopholes in the contract, and with a stroke of her cinnabar pen, she turns against the contractor! Mirror corridor maze, the Food Memory Cafeteria, dormitory reincarnation nights... Every scene will send chills down your spine. The most amazing part is when she subdues the descendant of the Listening Beast, "You Lai"—the moment the purple-gold thunder talisman cleaves open the Netherworld Ruins, I slapped my thigh!

From the moment the female protagonist opens her eyes and sees something unclean, she is destined to embark on the path of breaking the supernatural order. The paper doll trade in the old street ghost market, the drowned vengeful spirits in the ancient house and well, the ancient mirror that resonates with her jade pendant at the antique exhibition... Every case is like a Russian nesting doll, with truths behind the truths! I especially love her interactions with the mysterious mentor Ye Heng, and every time the jade pendant heats up and transmits its voice to guide me, it warms my heart (but there is no romance).

The most amazing thing is that she livestreams ghost-catching in the real world. At first, netizens thought, "Is this a script?" Later, they exclaimed, "Master, I was wrong!" During the Golden Core tribulation scene, the comments section was flooded with messages: "Is she undergoing a tribulation or filming a sci-fi movie?" Her apparent marriage to Xiao Yanqin and her first collaboration with Maoshan disciple Ling Hao—every plot point is perfectly placed. No romance, focusing on career advancement and slapping villains in the face. Watching the female lead go from being universally disliked to becoming a top-tier urban exorcist is incredibly satisfying! The book review section is filled with comments like, "We want more!

From exorcising evil spirits in a five-star hotel to subduing the thousand-year-old female ghost Mu Caiwei in a Republican-era mansion, and then establishing the "Xuantian Pavilion" to recruit disciples, every step she took was both cool and steady. I especially loved the part where she subdued the ghost servant: after absolutely suppressing him, she revealed his grievances, making the vengeful ghost willingly acknowledge her as its master—this is true "subduing ghosts with virtue"! Zhou Ziyan's transformation from doubt to becoming the number one believer was incredibly relatable. What touched me the most was the part where she used the "Forgetful River Water" talisman to wash away the Taotie Guest's obsession—gentle yet powerful. Book review section: "This is what a true heiress should be like!" No romance + a heroine who grows through growth, a worthwhile read!

It's high-energy and captivating from start to finish! The moment the Nine-Petaled Green Lotus Sword cleaved through the spatial barrier, I almost screamed in my dorm. Her interactions with the souls of Murong Qing, Zhou Shiyun, Qian Yining, and others are warm and not sentimental; every supporting character is fleshed out. The scene of the underworld's guidance, the oppressive feeling when the Black and White Impermanence appeared, was off the charts!
