禁止捕捉稀有可爱鬼 [Forbidden to Capture Rare Cute Ghosts]
【Adorable, timid ghost uke X affectionate, wife-pampering, powerful exorcist seme】
How to successfully catch a timid and cute ghost?
Step One: Never draw the curtains of the room.
Step Two: Always stay alone in the corner.
Step Three: Accept all the gifts he brings.
Looking at the severed tail of a house lizard at his feet, Lian Yi picked it up without flinching, placing it in his room’s drawer. There were many such things — dilapidated toys, a bottle filled with some unknown viscous liquid, broken pens, a sparrow feather and so on…
Lian Yi closed the drawer and went to knock on the wardrobe door: “Are you there?”
A moment later, the door creaked open a crack from inside, revealing several slender, pale fingers, then a delicately beautiful face, shyly looking at him.
***
After spending some time with the human who had kept him, Nan Deng’s days had become more comfortable and nourishing.
This person, although always icy cold, neither laughing nor talking, treated the ghost Nan Deng quite well. He would protect him, indulge him, and feed him. Nan Deng liked him very much and wanted to always be with him.
Until later, Nan Deng accidentally discovered the real identity of this person was an exorcist.
A ruthless, cruel, slaying ghosts without blinking exorcist.
——The natural enemy of ghosts.
Nan Deng trembled in fear and fled in the night.
However, he wasn’t able to get far before he was found by Lian Yi.
Lian Yi was no longer pretending. With a gloomy countenance, surrounded by ruins filled with corpses and overwhelmed with menacing energy, his voice was soft and low, urging, “Nan Deng, come here.”
***
Lately, a piece of news had been circulating among the ghosts.
Yezhang Tower had suddenly collapsed, and the Ghost King imprisoned inside had escaped.
The ghosts cheered and were ecstatic, preparing to pay respects to the supposedly ruthless, fierce Ghost King.
“The Ghost King shall lead us to conquer the three realms!”
“Decapitate those damn exorcists!”
“Brothers, charge!”
However, when the ghosts, led by the grievous energy, finally found the fabled Ghost King, they saw him trembling behind the most powerful human and Chief Exorcist, Lian Yi, saying, “They’re so scary…”

This was quite a good read, actually. I couldn't decide between rating this 3 or 4, but decided on 4 as I really enjoyed it whilst reading it.
The MC grew as a character, both literally and metaphorically. As far as a main character went he was an easy one to root for, which probably pushed this from 3 to 4 for me.
Romance didn't come out of nowhere thankfully, more of a progression of 2 people staying together all the time and growing fond of each other, such that no word was even needed. In fact, I can't even recall a confession scene, but didn't even notice it until I wrote this review. There was smut, but it was so vague that it's equivalent to fade to black.
ML was not bad - has a depth of character, although it was a bit disappointing that he made the MC his entire motivation, but I suppose it needed to be that way for the later plot to work out. Some things were never explained though. For example, why did he travel to the town where MC was? He was just... there, and there's no explanation for his actions. Thinking about it, I wished the novel had written his POV to give him more depth.
The mystery was probably the best part of this. There's just enough hooks placed on that I wanted to keep reading, and enough hints that I wasn't clueless and could guess some of the plot. But it was done well, as it felt like I was uncovering the mystery alongside the characters.
The story could had probably been more dramatic, with some heart-breaking moments... but due to the writing style, it didn't tug at the heartstrings. I would even call this quite light-hearted, even with the amount of NPC deaths that occurred in it. One thing that probably contributed to it was the villain. It was the big villain, with plot and machination that encompassed the entire story... and it died so simply, for the story to shift its focus on the ML's fate. I was ok with it, but it just felt like wasted opportunity.
In short, I enjoyed it, the plot was resolved satisfactorily, and the extra story was very cute.

A good read. 👍
Cute characters and decent plot. This one is paranormal and mystery with ghosts, celestial masters and gods on it.
Every foreshadowing was explained clearly in the end without plot holes. Read this on one seating, lol.
The romance did not overwhelm the plot but still a central part of the story. Finally finished a story. 😊

I struggled through this one.
Just couldn't hold my interest enough, I wasn't attached to any characters. Nan Deng being so childlike was off-putting.
