   These are all the metaphysical novels on my bookshelf. Most of them aren't about reincarnation; quick transmigration novels make up a larger proportion. "The Blood Letter of Ten Thousand Ghosts: Begging Heaven to Send the Little Pavilion Master to Ascension" is absolutely fantastic! The romance develops rather slowly, but it doesn't affect the plot (the only downside is that it's still ongoing, and the author has an eye problem, so updates will be a bit slow). "How Could Such a Silly Fake Heiress Be a Villain?" Is also really good!

The female lead's catchphrase: "Lu Qiu~ You have no idea how amazing I am..." Is incredibly cute, especially her smugness.

The male lead isn't the type who's instantly smitten; he's gradually won over by her sincerity and personal charm through their interactions. The relationship develops slowly and naturally, without any awkwardness or forced details. The second book, "Unfinished," features Hang Shi (Meng Qi) × Xu Si, a witty and eloquent woman who is also known as the "Meng Po" (a legendary figure associated with women), and a seemingly reserved yet secretly passionate and pure-hearted detective.

    The first book is a time-travel story. The female lead's parents treat her well. There's no male lead, no scheming or manipulative characters, and it's a satisfying read. The only downside is that it's unfinished. The second book is a rebirth story. The female lead's family is terrible, and she has a particularly wicked adopted sister. However, after her rebirth, the female lead is very clear-headed and immediately cuts ties with her family, revealing her sister's true colors. Later, her family members all regret their actions, but the female lead doesn't forgive any of them. It's really nice and very satisfying.
