    The first three are all about metaphysics and the supernatural, involving fortune telling and exorcism. The last one is about performing rituals for the dead. It's very good, with well-developed characters and many plot twists. 1. I read this one a while ago and have forgotten the plot, but it's about catching ghosts and drawing talismans. 2. This is my favorite supernatural novel. I've read it repeatedly. I really like Luo Luo; she's kind, innocent, and incredibly powerful, making you feel very safe. Trust me, you'll love her too. 3. Still being updated. Currently, I only know she's incredibly beautiful and powerful, but I don't know if she's a god or a demon.
