Looking for something like The Feng Shui Son-in-Law. A brilliant blend of folklore professions and urban legends; a compelling character arc as a seemingly weak protagonist uses their wits to break through; and mature pacing that weaves episodic cases into an overarching conspiracy.

The reason for "The Credited Knife Man" is very consistent with that of "Feng Shui": • Folk suspense + career setting: With the mysterious folk profession of "Credit Knife Man" as the core, it integrates folk prophecies, Feng Shui secrets and other elements, which is consistent with the folk career setting of "Feng Shui"; • The protagonist outsmarts the situation: the protagonist does not rely on strong settings, but relies on wisdom to solve the weird mysteries in unit events, matching the character of "the weak protagonist outsmarts"; • Narrative rhythm: It adopts the structure of unit event + main plot conspiracy. It not only has independent folk custom stories, but also hides the main thread running through the whole text. It is consistent with the narrative rhythm of "Feng Shui".

The book incorporates **folklore elements** such as Feng Shui spells and ghost-traveling to exorcise corpses. The fate of the protagonist is closely intertwined with the plot, creating both a gloomy atmosphere and a refreshing break. 2. **"Yin Tianzi, King of Hell's Fate"** The protagonist is surrounded by hundreds of ghosts since he was born. The setting of Yin Tianzi's fate makes his growth full of fatalism. **Traditional folklore** is well combined with personal struggle. It is slow-burning but has strong stamina. It is especially suitable for readers who like destiny settings. 3. **"Send Evil: I Wear the King of Hell's Clothes and Suppress Hundreds of Ghosts with One Hand"** The protagonist who was raised by evil ghosts kills decisively and has a strong sense of anti-routine. The background design of Qimen Feng Shui and folk horror is very solid, and the setting of the protagonist's King of Hell clothes is also very memorable. In addition, these books are also worth reading: - **"Notes of a Folk Feng Shui Master"**: The protagonist of the Nine Palaces destiny uses the secret technique of Feng Shui to break the situation. **Folk custom details** are rich. Although it is traditional, it is very professional. - **"Evil Gate: Starting from Mother's Kidney Transplant"**: The setting of the mother's strange disease sucking the essence of others is very gripping, and the **first-person** perspective enhances the sense of immersion. - **"Southern Folklore Weird Tales"**: The protagonist is born to be able to discern weird things.
