   This is my first time sharing. There aren't any major flaws, but the plot transitions a bit too quickly. The author hasn't been padding; with 800,000 words already, I'm worried it'll end soon.

    The title sounds like a domestic drama, but the content is entirely about ghosts and spirits, and it's not exaggerated at all. The supernatural cases are very realistic, and they're solved one by one, like an episodic series. The relationship between the female and male leads is harmonious throughout the story; the first chapter shows them returning to the city together. The female lead is very beautiful. Because she was raised by ghosts that have existed for thousands of years, she is skilled in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and is extremely knowledgeable. Most importantly, she doesn't wear cheongsams but Ming Dynasty clothing. There's even a short, interesting scene where she's discussing Marxist theory while wearing Ming Dynasty attire. She's incredibly knowledgeable and doesn't take the college entrance exam; instead, she runs a shop selling supernatural items.

    The first book features a female protagonist who returns to the 1980s, with four sisters and a family of six starting a business. It's a childhood sweetheart story, a large ensemble piece. The second sister's husband rises to power through family connections (just kidding 😝). [Thinking][Thumbs up] The second book features a female protagonist with high emotional intelligence, wisdom, and excellent eloquence. Super awesome! A satisfying read, enjoyable from beginning to end. The third book has a fresh and original setting, not clichéd. Everyone in the cast is shrewd, and the female protagonist lives a good life through her own abilities. She's clear-headed and doesn't go to the black market. Her cheat code is choosing an excellent boyfriend from across the city, analyzing every aspect—height, job, family background, etc. The plot is novel.

    Shen Xingchui's two remarkable feats after transmigrating: First, he single-handedly took on a gang of kidnappers on a green train, stringing them together and selling them. Second, he whistled at a cold-faced soldier with eight-pack abs in military uniform: "Comrade, I heard you're looking for a wife?" On his first day after transmigrating, the modern Sanda champion earned the title of "Kidnapper Terminator." Kidnappers trying to grope him in the dark? He dislocated their arms on the spot! Until he caught a glimpse of the eight-pack abs peeking out from under the uniform, Shen Xingchui instantly switched to his delicate, sentimental mode: "Comrade, they're bullying me!" Jiang Kuo, having lived most of his life, had never seen a female comrade eating sunflower seeds among a group of kidnappers. Even more astonishing was that this woman actually followed him to the military region and pulled out a yellowed marriage certificate: "Comrade Jiang, we've already sealed our comradeship!" From then on, the whole compound knew that the cold-faced devil had married a fierce wife who could break bricks with her bare hands. From then on, the scene played out daily in the courtyard: During the day, Shen Xingchui would chase wild boars with a shovel, shouting, "I'll give the whole courtyard an extra meal tonight!" At night, he'd sneak into the study with a pillow in his arms, crying, "Waaah, there are mice bullying me~"
