    I highly recommend these two amazing ghost-hunting novels! The female leads are incredibly capable and have impeccable morals. They're amazing! She can analyze birth charts, do feng shui, and even exorcise ghosts. When people seek her out for fortune-telling and exorcisms, they sometimes ask for explanations, and her metaphysical explanations are incredibly logical and believable. There's a male lead, but the female lead, Bao Bao, is the dominant one. He falls in love at first sight, is devoted to her, and is obedient. Their relationship develops sweetly. The first book is an ancient ghost-hunting novel. The female lead comes from a family of metaphysicians, and she is the most talented person in the family's history. The male lead is a descendant of a gold-mining family, and the two families were old friends. He falls in love with her at first sight and is extremely obedient to her! The author's other ghost-hunting novels are also excellent, such as the second one, a completed historical ghost-hunting novel. The female lead is born in a coffin and raised by her grandmother. The female lead, Tianbao, was incredibly cute as a child. She learned various skills from her master from a young age, becoming very adept at ghost hunting, feng shui, and fortune telling! The male lead is also a devoted husband, always listening to the female lead. He is very handsome and has only her in his heart!
