Name: The Starry River Falls from the Ninth Heaven
Author: Iced Milk Foam

Synopsis

An ensemble cultivation novel where everyone has their own shining qualities. Lighthearted with a touch of wish fulfillment, but not brainless: it has passion, moving moments, and shades of gray and black.

A progression story focused on cultivation, with love along the way. It's a slow burn about the protagonist growing up and all the little details of her life. I want readers to see how she is shaped bit by bit, from her cultivation to her values. Think of it as raising a daughter together, starting when she's just a baby. You might even feel that she's another version of yourself.

No golden finger. Every opportunity comes from her own excellence.

The serious synopsis:

The Shattered Star Continent is the number-one spiritual continent in the Star River Realm. Eight other continents surround it like stars around the moon. Above the spiritual continent are the Immortal Realm and the Divine Realm. Now, the once-peaceful cultivation world is beset by turmoil and hidden currents. The Heavenly Dao is replenishing spiritual energy, and opportunities keep appearing. Is it trying to save itself? The Immortal Realm above is also on the verge of collapse, and the disaster from a billion years ago seems about to begin anew. Shattered Star, Shattered Star: what does the name truly mean? Amid troubles from within and without, a group of youths embark on a journey to save their world and return home.

The less serious synopsis:

Super-cultivator Luo Shixing suddenly wakes up at age three and realizes: the transmigrator is me! Luckily, she comes from a great family with excellent genes and an average IQ that isn't embarrassing. She's neither cannon fodder nor an evil female antagonist, so she'll just quietly be the beloved background character, eat and drink, cultivate, and serve as the head fan of the reborn female lead's ship. But as she plays along, it turns out the biggest piece of gossip is about her??

The romance in this novel is extremely sugary, ridiculously sugary, absurdly sugary. Every couple is secretly so sweet it's explosive. I've got every sweet trope you can think of. If there's one I missed, leave me a comment and I'll add it.

but, romance is just dessert. Cultivation is the main course.

I want to read something similar to "The Junior Sister Is Obviously Overpowered but Excessively Goofy (Crossing the Galaxy with One Sword)."

An ensemble cultivation story. Romance is optional!!! The protagonist...

Traditional cultivation is fine. Both leads should be cautious and goofy. A mortal's cultivation journey would be good too.

I'm Out of Books to Read. Any Good Traditional Cultivation Novels for Female Readers?

I'm looking for books like "Taking the Strongest Immortal Venerable as My Master, the Female Supporting Character Makes the Protagonists Cry". No System!! No System! Ideally, the story continues in the upper realm after the heroine ascends. No romance between master and disciple! I hope the recommended stories give every character a vivid, well-rounded personality. Ensemble casts preferred.
