    I prefer completed novels with a rating of 9.0 Or higher. The first one features a female protagonist, but it's a soul-transmigration story within a set of supernatural tales. Later, there will be tales where the female protagonist transmigrates into a male's body. The second female protagonist's personality is artificially created; it's exciting and mind-bending because the author has a wild imagination. However, the ending is a recommendation for the next book, so even if I don't understand it, it doesn't affect my reading. The third female protagonist—who says an old lady isn't the female lead? Her way of dealing with the supernatural is different, both unexpected and logical. The fourth female protagonist may have had a past life identity, but in this life, she is who she is. She has a strong sense of justice and responsibility, even if it's for ghosts. The fifth female protagonist—I personally prefer books without a romantic pairing, but this story is very interesting. I've ignored the male lead.

    The more vibrant the flower, the more fertile the soil it needs to thrive; flowers blooming amidst bloodshed and slaughter are especially captivating. The first gentle breeze of dawn brushed her cheek, and the moment she opened her eyes, that cold, greedy gaze followed her like a shadow. "Hoo~" Shen Yingxing exhaled softly, the cold mist carrying a biting chill that seeped into her very bones. The land was ravaged, yellow sand swirling in the air, buildings buried beneath the sand, only their pointed roofs visible. Shen Yingxing stood atop a high tower, her gaze sweeping over the distant red full moon. Night gradually engulfed the world, the strange red moon hanging in the sky, while opposite it was a white crescent moon. The white crescent moon felt strangely even more grotesque, as if a single glance would suck her soul into it. "Where is this?" Her strong mental fortitude quickly calmed her, even as the scene before her was a bizarre landscape she had never seen before. "Hello, System 748 is at your service." A mechanical voice sounded in her mind, an electronic voice that conveyed an overwhelming sense of malice. "Give me an explanation." Shen Yingxing remained atop the tower, her excessively slender body wrapped in a black trench coat, her waist-length black hair swaying in the wind beneath. "My esteemed player, this is your first dungeon, [Red Moon]."
