    Reader note

    Recently I dug up a Chinese supernatural novel that made me stay up late to catch up on the latest updates - "After the First Woman Is Full of Ghosts". I originally thought it was another ordinary Taoist ghost-catching article, but the result was completely different. The heroine Li Yueman is a paper maker. She doesn't kill ghosts, she just sends them home. Behind every ghost there is an unfinished story: the fire girl who couldn't wait for her mother, the paper bride who was forced to get married by the whole village, the female anchor who was repeatedly consumed by netizens after her death... The horror is really terrifying, but you can't help but cry when you see the end. The character of the male protagonist Su Zichen is also very unique. On the surface, he looks like a top-notch person in the entertainment industry with millions of fans, a gentle and sunny person, but in fact, he is born to attract ghosts. There are ghosts everywhere during filming, live broadcasts, and even his bedside is full of ghosts. The first time he met Li Yueman, the heroine said: "You are followed by seven." He replied very calmly: "Nine yesterday, but today there are two less." The emotional line between the two is not that of a hero saving a beauty, but that she blocks ghosts for him and he blocks people for her. She allowed him, who had not slept a full night's sleep in seventeen years, to have peace for the first time, and he also made her, who only knew how to live for the souls of the dead, begin to learn to cherish her own life. There are also folklore contents in the book such as paper dots, dead people's wedding clothes, ghost marriages, life extensions, paper doubles, people in the mirror, etc. It is not a random collection of settings, but a combination of real folklore and suspenseful cases. Favorite sentence: "I won't send you off to get married today." "I'll send you home." If you like Chinese horror, folk suspense, entertainment industry supernatural beings and two-way redemption, you can really go for it! Moreover, the author talks about metaphysics, which I heard from my friend. He is a Taoist priest.
