From the Start, I Became a Secret Manual

When Liu Xue woke up, she discovered that she had become an unparalleled martial arts manual lying in a cave. As long as someone practiced the techniques inside her, she could grow stronger. The problem was that the cave lay beneath a cliff, and there was nobody around except a skeleton. After waiting motionless for ten years, someone finally arrived. This is a story of the female lead's growth, with a long buildup. She has very little presence early on, since she's only a manual and can't affect the outside world. Her presence will grow once she becomes powerful enough to influence the world and gains a body of her own. Volume One: Martial Arts in the Age of Declining Dharma. This volume is mainly about a vengeful young woman bravely venturing into the martial world. At this point, the female lead is still just a manual with no body of her own, so her presence is extremely limited. This volume mainly establishes the world. Volume Two: Spiritual Qi Revival. The female lead finally gains a body of her own and begins her journey.
