    The first book, as the title suggests, involves a female protagonist whose crush helps him, only to be tricked and killed by a rich second-generation heir in northern Myanmar, her soul imprisoned. The protagonist also encounters a ghost but is rescued by his master and begins his training. It's a Chinese-style horror/supernatural ensemble piece, and I'm not sure if the author likes shipping, but it's a male-male CP written by a straight male author, featuring a younger brother x the protagonist. The younger brother is initially his savior, and the protagonist keeps seeking him out, eventually becoming friends.
