Looking for Stories About the Jianghu, Where Both the Hero and Heroine Are Renowned and Powerful
I've read too many stories about court intrigue, so now I want to read about a man and woman traveling through the martial world and building up considerable influence, with plenty of secret identities and the like. No tragic romance, and no misunderstandings. The male lead can be absent too. I like strong female leads and historical romance.

A Low-Key, Highly Skilled Martial Artist in a Wuxia Story

Female Lead Is a Martial Arts Master from the Jianghu
Lots of fight scenes, but don't make it mindless hero worship. No transmigration. There should be internal energy and lightness skills. The male lead is optional.

Looking for Novels About Young Heroes Venturing into the Martial World
Something like *The Blood of Youth*: an ensemble story where every character has their own distinct personality. Not too much romance, though there can be some. It just shouldn't take up half the book.
Wuxia, the Martial World, and the Imperial Court
Through a hundred battles, I roam the martial world with my flute held high; heroes brave the storm, and life and death weigh little. A pair of mandarin ducks endure the silkworm’s bitter toil, while a smile blooms beside a white horse’s saddle.

Wuxia Stories, But No Leveling Up, Robbery, or Treasure-Filled Secret Realms
I’m not really into those stories where the protagonist shows off, wins through face-slapping, and gets some super-rare treasure. No System stories either.

Something like Seekers of the Truth.

After reading the novel "Secret Fragrance and Drifting Shadows", the most impressive sentence is, "A sword can kill people and save people. The key lies in the heart of the sword holder." I just can't put it down! ! It can be seen from the novel's choice of words and sentences, the conception of the article, etc., That the author indeed has a martial arts dream! It just so happens that I also have a martial arts dream, but I can't write about my martial arts dream, so let's first find myself in the author's "martial arts dream"! A good novel is addictive, and this novel is just that!
Where there are people, there will be grievances, and where there are grievances, there will be rivers and lakes. Justice does not matter in people's hearts, but right and wrong depend on strength. The storm in the world is beyond my generation, As soon as you enter the world, time rushes by. While Huangtu Hegemony was talking and laughing, I can't bear the drunkenness of life Carrying a sword and riding astride, wielding the ghost rain, The bones are as white as a mountain bird flying in fright. Earthly things are like tides and people are like water, I only sigh that a few people in the world have returned. Some people advised me not to continue writing martial arts novels in this era when martial arts is dead. It will be useless and no one will read it. Instead, it would be more attractive to write some cool articles. I don't know, but I only write martial arts novels to fulfill my youthful dream, the dream of a hero traveling to the end of the world with a sword. Even if I am not recognized, I will persevere!
The content is rigorous, the writing is sophisticated, and it has the flavor of an old-school martial arts novel. The characters in the book, such as Gu Nanxing, are witty, brave, and unrestrained. They have the magnanimity of the protagonists of old-school novels and are worth reading carefully.
The story of the novel is novel, life is full of rivers and lakes, the details of the characters are described delicately, the swords and swords are shining, the martial arts fights are exciting, and the literary fights are also powerful. The author is really talented and beautiful.
A very good martial arts novel, the writing is elegant, I look forward to the follow-up, it is worth recommending
The writing is very good, keep up the good work and look forward to it!
The characterization is rich and the plot is rigorous. Keep up the good work
Well written, I can travel the world with my sword.
Looks good, come on
I like the sword and the heart. The grievances in the world are hard to resolve. The only way is to overcome them. Come on, come on.
