   Reader note

   I highly recommend the first and second books, both of which are the author's personal accounts of his shamanic experiences. They are very engaging, and the protagonist's story is fast-paced. I read the third book a long time ago, and although the author didn't emphasize whether it was a true account, the writing was still very immersive. The third and fourth books are two separate volumes, and they are also very immersive and well worth reading. These are some of the best shamanic books I've ever read, because I'm from Northeast China and have friends who practice shamanism. These books are written as if they were happening right next to me. Highly recommended!

    🌈I've been reading this book lately and it's pretty good. The male lead is a servant, and the female lead is a thousand-year-old female corpse who hasn't decayed. The female lead appears less frequently in the early stages. 🌸The male lead has a special fate and, in order to survive, he becomes engaged to the female lead to prolong his life. 🌿The male lead becomes a shaman, collects demon slaves, and fights demons, growing stronger along the way.
