    The first book, featuring Xue Zhou and Lin Xiao, is a very sweet and complete story. It has no female lead (the protagonist is a ghost, and the plot is quite good). The protagonist dotes on Lin Xiao. The story begins with him and his classmates visiting a haunted place. He shields Lin Xiao from the wind, ignoring the fate of his classmates and only placing a mark on Lin Xiao to protect him from ghosts. Lin Xiao is relatively weak in the early stages. They initially join the official faction, but later the protagonist is revealed to have joined an evil force, though he doesn't commit any serious crimes. I haven't finished reading it, but it seems they separate in the end. The second book features a very sweet brotherly relationship between Chen Mo and Li Su, but it's more like a close friendship than a close friendship (like a game). It's an ensemble story with three women and two men in the main group. Li Su is relatively weak in the early stages, and there are some tragic moments. Later, Li Su almost dies. One of the women in the main group, who wouldn't have died otherwise, gives her life-saving item to Li Su and dies herself.

If you like it, treat it as a romantic pairing; if not, just treat it as brotherhood. The author of this book also went astray with their second book—it's a disaster; both of their books went astray.
