I'm looking for an ancient supernatural novel, I forgot the name

It was an ancient supernatural novel with good writing style, but it didn't end. It seemed to have been ruined. Unfortunately, I forgot their names. I even forgot the names of the male and female protagonists. However, there were two scenes that I remembered very clearly. The first ghost that the female protagonist encountered in the opening chapter was only half a body. It floated in the air, and blood or some kind of liquid flowed from the waist down. The female protagonist met the ghost-catching male protagonist halfway on the mountain and took an adventure together. Later on, there was an experience where two people met a ghost in a peach garden (?) Expert (?) In order to ask for something, the male protagonist had to answer the Peach Blossom Garden owner's questions. If he answered wrongly, he would have to pull out a fingernail, one of which was about love. He had read this novel a long time ago and had been thinking about it ever since. The fingernail-pulling part was a wonderful description of human nature and made people think. Sigh, if anyone has seen it before and knows its name, please tell me T^T.
I said I couldn't find it no matter what…Actually, I remember that the author didn't write much before he was scammed. At the very least, he hadn't updated for a long time. But she really wanted to watch it again. It really wasn't Liao Zhai. It was an ancient supernatural novel written by modern people.
