   If I weren't worried about the author stopping updates, would I need to go to such lengths to promote this book? This one is definitely worth buying. It features a strong female protagonist, a reincarnation of an ancient goddess whose name isn't on the Three Lives Stone, so she's devoid of love and affection. There's no romantic pairing, and she doesn't care about anything except punishing evil and maintaining the order of heaven.

    🎉✨✨1. I highly recommend this one. I've already caught up with it. The female lead has no romantic partner, it's funny, she's strong, loves gossip, and is a Taoist priest who wanted to become a teacher but ended up working part-time at a funeral home to earn money, becoming a big shot in the ghost world. 🎉✨✨3. Very good, no romantic partner, the female lead is the strongest, and the ending is a happy one. Unlike other novels where the real and fake heiresses are at odds, everyone is great, and the later plot is very novel.
