She boasts impressive combat skills and isn't a saint, gradually defeating the villains through a series of short stories.

    The protagonist is a male who transmigrates into a female body. The story starts off explosively, with extreme tension from the very beginning – not for the faint of heart! Written in a cinematic, storyboard-like style, packed with high-energy, action-packed moments! (The original owner was tricked by a matchmaker and forced into prostitution, but on the way, she accidentally stumbled into a dangerous place, causing everyone's death!) In the final moments after the original owner was devoured by a corpse demon, he takes over the body! Using his calm and wit, he fights against the evil spirits, experiencing several twists and turns. Although he is rescued by chance, he faces a new life-or-death crisis and becomes embroiled in a larger conspiracy. No system, no romantic pairing, high intelligence, low-level demonic energy, no exaggerated cheat codes, survival depends entirely on calm and decisive action—

    This book can be considered a masterpiece of supernatural fiction without a male lead, because it contains so many elements. Each instance is closely related, and none of them are connected to the female lead's background. It's like solving a mystery, with each element meticulously unraveled and interconnected. Not only that, but it also features a real and fake heiress setting, and a charming female supporting character. For those who enjoy the female lead slapping down the female supporting character, it's a great read! [Cool][cool]

    [Supernatural Dual Male Lead Recommendation] Ghost messenger Song Ting investigates a series of bone-extraction cases in the ghost realm, and the white bones, shrouded in resentment, appear in the human world. He dragged Xue Yao, the "Heir Apparent of the Duke of the Nation," across realms to investigate a case, only to find him at the Yellow Springs Ferry, clad in a black robe, with a hundred ghosts bowing before him—"The heir apparent has become the King of the Underworld, you've been playing me for three hundred years?" *Click.* Xue Yao crushed Song Ting's blood-stained finger bones, the ghostly fire reflecting on his deathly pale face: "The evil art of extracting bones and refining souls used the remains of my fallen comrades." At midnight, during the autopsy, Song Ting's judge's pen suddenly pierced Xue Yao's heart: "Why do you have such a malevolent, bone-like aura?" Bloodstained fingertips caressed his neck, Xue Yao's smile sinister: "What if I told you… the bone-extraction case was just bait to lure you into a trap?" A thousand bones wailed at the bottom of the icy pool, Song Ting's soul-locking chains tightened around Xue Yao's throat: "You swallowed those wronged souls?" "If I didn't swallow souls, how could I trap a ghost like you who always tries to escape?" Xue Yao gripped his wrist bones tightly, dark red curse marks growing wildly along his veins, "I'll give you half of my ghost bones, is that enough to lock you up for life?" ⚠️A seemingly innocent but actually ruthless Hades (top) x A seemingly timid but actually tough ghost messenger (bottom)⚠️His true intention is to lure Hades to his wife, not to extract bones and pursue criminals.
