   The first book features a lot of romance, fortune telling, and ghost hunting plots, but the emotional storyline is relatively weak. It's recommended for those interested in metaphysics.

    Ongoing!!! The female lead, as the zombie queen, possesses both the calm decisiveness of a special forces soldier and the charming liveliness of a young girl. She might suddenly act cute and ask for a hug while devouring a zombie's crystal core, or she might crush an enemy's throat with her bare hands in a moment of crisis. The male lead is a typical "dark moonlight" character: outwardly aloof and ethereal, but inwardly obsessive to the point of having Lin Buyu's photo tattooed on his heart. The zombies here are not merely tools; not all zombies are unconscious. Perhaps it is simply that humanity has given them too much disappointment, causing them to succumb to despair. Since light is something unattainable, why not choose the readily available darkness? This is not an ordinary sweet romance novel, but a grand celebration of redemption and destruction.

    ① This book is amazing. The female lead is like a little sun, shining on, warming, and healing the male lead. The male lead comes from a difficult family, but he's still a very thoughtful and kind person. Both the character design and the author's writing are excellent. Their interactions are very relatable, just like the interactions between close friends in real life. I wonder if other readers have the same focus as me. I especially loved the ex-wife's innocent childhood; it was very relatable, everyday, beautiful, and humorous. It reminded me of my own childhood. I cried several times because of the beauty in it. Personally, I cried several times while reading it; it's definitely worth reading! ② The male and female leads are well-developed. Their dialogue is particularly humorous, witty, and relatable. The tug-of-war between them during their ambiguous period is also very captivating. The atmosphere between them is great, which I really enjoyed. Furthermore, everyone, whether main or supporting, has a distinct personality and unique characteristics. Most importantly, this book doesn't feel like some novels that feel rushed or formulaic. It's very enjoyable and never boring. ③ This book is told from the female protagonist's perspective—an arranged marriage that blossoms into love—while the male protagonist's perspective is one of long-term planning. The story unfolds as the female protagonist grows. It's very sweet, and the writing is very delicate. The male protagonist's silent protection of the female protagonist during his unrequited love, and the letter he writes to his baby in the epilogue, are truly heart-wrenching; you can feel the tenderness in every word.
