   A sweet and romantic historical romance with two intelligent and incredibly good-looking main characters. Both are virgins. The female lead is an assassin with superb martial arts skills, a naive understanding of human nature, and an exceptional learning ability.

   "Legend Management Bureau" introduced me to many mythological stories; the author's intelligence is incredibly high, and the book fills in all the plot holes—it's truly amazing. "Evil Spirit Catcher" is slightly scary, and although the rating isn't very high, the character descriptions are excellent. I've already shed many tears reading this book; the love and hate are so well-developed, and the exciting parts are also very exciting. The reason for the lower rating is probably because it contains a bit of eroticism. "Starting as a Street Vendor Selling Strength" and "It's Reasonable for a Slime to Beat a Dragon" are both super funny comedies. The remaining two are horror novels—pure horror, not cultivation-themed. Horror lovers can check them out; both are completed, and I personally recommend them.

    Snowstorms shroud the deep mountains, a boy born of a corpse is caught in a vortex of bizarre events! "Hua Jiunan"—In the mysterious mountain village of Jiudaogou, deep within the vast mountains of northern China, perpetual snowstorms isolate him from the world. In this ancient and remote place, the eerie and terrifying are ever-present, and the boy, Hua Jiunan, is at the center of it all. He himself is the deepest mystery—a child born of a corpse! This forbidden identity destined him to be inextricably linked to evil. Strange events frequently occur in the village, and every single one is connected to him. He is not a bystander, but the core of the vortex, a part of the terror itself. The deaf old woman, the village leader and a legitimate shaman, worships the twelve deities (Hu, Huang, Chang, Qingfeng...) Of the "Four Pillars and Eight Beams," guarding the area. Grandpa Li is also a pillar of the village. However, even they must be extremely cautious in the face of the strangeness surrounding Hua Jiunan. Who is he? What karma does his corpse-born body bear? Why does the deaf old woman protect him? Is it compassion, or is there a deeper meaning? Why did he become "part of the terror"? In the snow-covered Nine Gully, Hua Jiunan's fate is inextricably linked to ancient shamanic practices, the violent death of the evil spirit Qingfeng, and the endless chill of the deep mountains. The mystery of his origins is the beginning of unraveling all the terror!
