    The first book is a farming novel with no romantic pairing, where you sit around with your neighbors, chatting and experiencing the purest human warmth. The second book is also without a romantic pairing; the female lead is powerful but unaware of it at the beginning, and the plot is light and humorous. The third book is also without a romantic pairing: a terminally ill girl x entrepreneur! — When the haunted house boss commands a cross-dimensional working team composed of Nie Xiaoqian, Sadako, and Sun Wukong, the entire internet is begging for annual memberships!
