    The first book is about a supernatural live stream in the entertainment industry. It features the charismatic and cunning Ci Ye, a seemingly harmless but actually ruthless and manipulative seme. The uke is the type who doesn't hold grudges and seeks revenge immediately. There's also Yu Chen, who hides his strength, outwardly appearing afraid and wanting Ci Ye to protect him, but secretly using ruthless methods to prevent anyone from harming Ci Ye. The second book is about Lu Jiuchao and Xie Hongchen, a match made in heaven. The lyrics include: "You lack me in your five elements. With me, living a long life is just the foundation; I can even grant immortality..." "No matter when or where, I will be by his side, for thousands of years, at the top of the world, at the end of time."

    This book has a high level of "motherly" content, with some stories closely mirroring real events from recent years. It explores human nature through ghost-hunting scenarios and emphasizes a strong sense of justice and revenge, without being overly simplistic. The key is that without ruthlessness, one's position is unstable.
