    Three ghost-hunting novels without a romantic pairing, featuring female leads with exceptional abilities and strong moral values. ① A junior sister of the Zhengyang Sect, sealed for a thousand years, wakes up to find herself reborn as an unloved girl. To earn tuition, she returns to her old profession… ② A metaphysical patriarch fails his tribulation and is reborn as Miss Gu, sent to a mental hospital by her stepmother. The female lead is very cool. ③ An ancient metaphysical novel where the female lead was abandoned as a child but later found and returned. Not a pitiful story; the female lead is cool, doesn't care about anything, and establishes her own sect.
