    I recommend two books. The first one features a nine-tailed fox demon king as the male lead and a human as the female lead. They are master and disciple, and the female lead catches ghosts, demons, and even her future husband. Her master protects and pampers her, accompanying her on adventures across the land and sea. This is a beautifully sweet romance novel that blends suspense, horror, the supernatural, and humor. It features three adorable fox demon characters who fight monsters while chewing on teething toys and lollipops. The second book is a fantasy romance. The male lead is a wolf king, a domineering demon lord, and the female lead is a witty and cute veterinarian who transmigrates to ancient times. The demon lord is a master of killing ghosts, demons, and gods, but he is terrified of his wife and dotes on her. The entire book is sweet and fluffy, with an incredibly cute and silly premise. It also includes some horror mini-stories about slaying demons and monsters, blending comedy, fighting, and romance.

    I'm still reading the first book; I feel like I want to keep reading it. The second book is also quite good. I recommend both of them because I think the authors are genuine, since there are many technical terms. By the way, for the second book, I suggest checking the comments from time to time while reading; you can learn something from them.

    This series has many 1v1 stories with a strong element of mystery, but they're really good. The first book has an unexpected ending without a bad ending. The second, third, and fifth books are also good—funny, with the female lead being the darling of the group and a cute older sister [shy]. The fourth book has a light horror element and is sweet and romantic [admiring]. The last book features a female lead who transmigrates a thousand years ago—she's incredibly powerful and can be kept in her own little fishpond [smirking]. It's very good! [Thinking]
