   Warning: I've already checked the spoilers. I just finished the first book; the female lead is a powerful figure in the Xuanmen (Taoist) world who dies alongside a vengeful ghost and is reborn. She teaches her brother how to catch ghosts. Later, due to the destruction of the dragon vein, she undergoes a divine tribulation and shaves her divine bones to stabilize the world. The second book is about a female lead who, after completing her studies, is tricked into entering the entertainment industry by a bowl of noodles. She starts by scamming children for candied hawthorns. This book is more comedic. [Learned something new] You won't regret reading it.

   Reader note

   I've written a job where you're paid by your lifespan: Haunted House Tester. First, a self-introduction: author of *Testing Haunted Houses, I Became the Number One Metaphysician*, pen name Deng Xia Xing. Today, I won't advertise; I'll just lay out the book's premise, and you can decide for yourself whether it's worth the investment. The premise in one sentence: Unemployed youth Chen Mo accepts a high-paying, urgent job as a "Haunted House Tester," only to discover upon moving in that—this job is paid by your lifespan. Three selling points: ① Excellent professional details. The protagonist, a construction supervisor, checks the plumbing and electrical systems, knocks on walls, and smells dampness before entering a haunted house; he even uses a measuring tape before attempting to ward off evil spirits. Fake masters can't last a chapter against him; the slaps to their faces are solid. ② A system with consequences is a good system. Protecting a house earns lifespan, using magic shortens it, saving lives isn't for nothing, and recklessness can lead to trouble. The protagonist calculates the costs before each action—every working person understands this sense of urgency. ③ Deeply embedded main plot. His father's disappearance, a 2016 cold case, and a list of seven households. Each story, though seemingly about a haunted house, unfolds into a complete picture when pieced together. Veteran readers can revisit the first chapter; the foreshadowing is all there. Update promise: four chapters a day, nearly 9,000 words. Today's update is chapter 23, and chapter 35 will follow on the 24th. The guild ranking competition announcement is coming soon—all the testers in the city will be re-ranked. I was excited writing this part myself. Comments section is open for requests: Which haunted house would you most like him to work the night shift in? The most popular choice will be seriously considered for inclusion in the main text—if it's used as an Easter egg with attribution, I'll definitely get your permission first. #UrbanBrainstorming #Suspense #Supernatural #SystemFlow #AuthorPromotion

    All three books are incredibly good! Books 2 and 3 are by the same author, but I personally love book 3 the most—it's absolutely amazing!!! Both have two male leads. Book 2 is about the last descendant of metaphysics (the bottom) who transmigrates into a terrifying dungeon. It's also very good!!! For ensemble dramas, check out book 2!

    Reader note

    Studying Bazi (Four Pillars of Destiny) allows you to see your own life script. Is a person's future a script? For most people, it is; for a few, it isn't. It depends on whether you are aware of its existence. For most, their script seems predetermined, but a few manage to escape it because they see the script. It's as if when they see their script, the script becomes invalid—not invalid, but it has another layer, a layer you are unaware of. Once you become aware, you are you, and you are no longer you. You are you even before you see your true self. This phrase must be understood. All human consciousness and habits change with this understanding. When you can be subjective, when you can begin to change with understanding and habits, with consciousness, this is Nirvana. It's a methodology; otherwise, why are so many people different? There must be a methodology. Is there a creator, or is it just a cosmic matrix? Are energy fields important? A creator is just a human perspective; only humans can understand that there is a creator in this world.

    Ta-da! Here it is! The female lead in this book is a master of metaphysics, the super powerful kind. She doesn't need to rely on the male lead or try to attract him; she's incredibly strong and capable on her own 👍. From discovering her marriage line with the male lead to their love at first sight, and their love deepening as they spend time together, both are extremely possessive. It's a story of mutual purity, mutual redemption, and reincarnation. Both the female and male leads are strong, but the male lead is like a super obedient puppy 🐶 in front of her—super cute—while he's a crazy, domineering CEO in front of others.
