   It doesn't have a harem, and it's not a fast-paced, action-packed story. It's a slow-burn type of story, an episodic ghost story. The protagonist has a minor cheat ability, but it's not particularly powerful. The author makes the protagonist feel very real, and his life isn't always smooth sailing. I was really moved when the ghost baby story was written. Give it a try. It's similar to Midnight Pawnshop, but I haven't seen many foreshadowing elements yet. It's not a riddle.

    Reader note

    She wasn't a celestial being who vanquished demons, but a swordswoman who would say "I'm here" to those who were "too late." Ten years of cultivation on Zhongnan Mountain taught Mo Qingshuang talisman drawing, soul summoning, and aura reading, as well as the principles of "not interfering in cause and effect, and not revealing heavenly secrets." Yet, on her very first day down the mountain, she broke these rules—a little ghost squatted beside an old woman burning paper money by the roadside, anxiously waiting for her grandmother to finish burning that new cotton-padded jacket. She didn't perform a ritual to release it from suffering; instead, she buried three five-emperor coins in a crack in the stone steps to shield it from the wind. Her master said, "Some things are more urgent for people than for ghosts." The seventeen-year-old Daoist nun opened a shop called "Qingyun Pavilion" on Zhuque Street in the capital. Above the door hung a plaque inscribed by Daoist Qingmu of Zhongnan Mountain, and under the threshold were five-emperor coins for accumulating wealth. The rules were clearly written: "Only matters of Yin and Yang are judged; human affairs are not involved. Those seeking marriage or future prospects are not accepted; those divining good or bad fortune are asked to leave." But ultimately, her surname was Mo. An eight-word suicide note sealed her sister's mysterious death; a half-sentence secret letter revealed her brother's "death in battle," his body never to be found. The blood of the Duke's mansion had flowed in her veins for seventeen years, burning her with sleepless nights. From a gluttonous ghost to a homesick ghost, from a wronged ghost to a lovelorn one, each ghost carries a story, a cause and effect, a journey of redemption—but while she could redeem wandering souls and vengeful spirits, she couldn't redeem the "Don't come back" whispered amidst the medicinal scent of the mansion. Until she met Pei Jinye, the heir of the Marquis of Zhenbei—unrestrained yet meticulous, he said, "Your sister couldn't find any help in the Pei mansion for three years; you're smarter than her"; then she met Crown Prince Mu Feng—refined and noble yet deeply cunning, he said, "Miss Mo, knowing too much isn't a blessing"; and finally, she met Yun Duanyan, the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review—ruthless yet secretly investigating, he said, "I believe your brother; Mo Qingchen's chosen friends wouldn't speak carelessly." Three men, three seemingly unconnected yet intertwined threads of fate. One taught her to enter the game, one taught her to conceal her sharpness, and one taught her to guard her true self. But there was only one Mo Qingshuang. The Daoist nun did not concern herself with worldly affairs, yet her love star was set in motion the day she descended the mountain. This is a suspenseful detective story written with a peach wood sword, and also a journey of growth and cultivation questioned with the Three Pure Ones Bell.

    Reader note

    A wedding dress spirit, a corpse rising from the grave, ghostly figures lurking in the streets, and malevolent spirits haunting ancestral halls—each makes their appearance, intensifying the terror layer by layer. The aloof Taoist priest paired with his quirky apprentice provides plenty of laughs, and the exorcism battles are crisp and efficient with no unnecessary dialogue. There are no simplistic or illogical plot points throughout, and the folklore and supernatural elements are meticulously researched. A must-read for fans of Chinese horror; if you're looking for something to read, give it a try!
