    I thought that with the male lead's halo, he'd be at least a genius with an IQ of 180 or higher, if not a domineering CEO and rich, handsome man. But the author took a completely different approach. There's no female lead, no sugary romance, and not even the cheap, melodramatic tropes to appease the audience. It's pure suspense, horror, and a solid, engaging story. The male lead's IQ is wildly imaginative, and his personality is hilariously absurd. He'd be a walking disaster in the workplace, practically dying within half an episode. Seriously, as a writer, don't you understand the 80/20 rule of online traffic? These days, if you create a good character, traffic just falls from the sky! You, a newbie author, are trying to commit suicide or are you a conscientious seller by writing a book that goes against the traffic formula? I swear, if this book gets even a single review or rating, I'll change my name!

    On the surface, it's about a vengeful ghost seeking revenge, a graveyard ritual, a paper effigy shop, and a ghost-hunting scene. Behind it all lies high technology, high intelligence, a mysterious organization, and a historical injustice. Slow-paced, hardcore, crime-solving, no romance. Not recommended for those who like fast-paced, action-packed stories; but mysteries might enjoy it! [Cool]

    I highly recommend this other book by the same author as "The Golden Hairpin"!! It tells the story of Bai Qiandeng, the princess of Lingling County, who is said to have a "husband-killing" face because of a damaged brow bone. The emperor introduces fifteen excellent fiancés for her to choose from, but these men all have their own ulterior motives, leading to a series of bloody incidents. When everyone is at a loss, Qiandeng rises up and personally begins to solve the cases.
