   First book! Absolutely fantastic! The female lead, though somewhat aloof, possesses a clear understanding of the world despite her confusion, and she's ruthless. The author writes beautifully, reflecting a very realistic world, worthy of deep thought and reflection. The male lead is also quite clingy; if his wife ignores him, he'll follow her around. He might even put on airs when angry, but a tug on his sleeve from his wife is all it takes. Second book! Incredibly sweet! The female lead simply doesn't want to be a slave anymore, so she really does! The male lead is also incredibly doting! Super sweet! Also very interesting, I finished reading it a long time ago. For the specific plot, you'll have to read it yourself! The third book is very interesting. The female lead is a cutie—she's lacking in wealth due to the Five Deficiencies and Three Shortcomings, which is frustrating because money mysteriously disappears. She's also very powerful—mainly a lucky charm, bringing blessings to those around her. She's also a little foodie. I read this a long time ago too—you should all check it out! The fourth book—I won't say much, it's mainly about mutual trust and unconditional love—there are no misunderstandings or anything. Even if they're love-struck, so what? They're truly in love! The plot doesn't drag at all, the male lead unconditionally favors the female lead, and the female lead also emphasizes trust—everyone trusts each other! Super good! Everyone should read it!

    The only difference is the lack of a romantic pairing. The screenwriter's "The Female Gentleman of Northeast China" is a single-female lead story with no romantic pairing. It's a Northeast folk-themed suspenseful supernatural tale. It features Chinese horror, feng shui and metaphysics, tomb raiding, intellectual battles, and character development. There's no cultivation of immortality or spirit mediumship involved; the pacing is steady, and the foreshadowing and plot points are satisfyingly resolved. Suitable for fans of suspense/mystery/folk adventure; I've already watched it and there's no disappointing ending.

    I recently discovered a gem of a novel. The protagonist was born with the ability to see ghosts and was adopted by a blind old woman who taught him all sorts of skills. While making money at a stall, he encountered a male lead who was about to be killed by a curse. The more you read, the more addictive it becomes. Highly recommended.
