Two Female Leads!!
I'd like to read books similar to "The Real Heiress Has Developed a Serious Dependency on This Cannon-Fodder Character." I've been wanting to read a story with two female leads lately ୧⩾Ꙫ⩽୨. Looking for a sweet school romance, with only a little angst if any, a plot that isn't awkward, and good writing. Preferably no transmigration •ᴗ•

No CP, and a female lead who can't stand being wronged even a little. No stories where women suffer: even a little angst makes my heart ache, ahhhhh!

Looking for stories like My Junior Sister Is Obviously Super Strong, Yet Ridiculously Goofy. I want the sect members to get together at competitions, bicker over little things in their daily lives, but stand united when it really matters. They skip class together, cultivate together, and get punished together. No white-lotus female rivals, please.

Looking for wuxia novels, preferably with a protagonist who has some fantasy-style abilities.
Ensemble-Cast Stories!!!
Looking for books similar to "The End of Ten Days". I'd love an ensemble story about a group of spirited young people, ending with a whole lot of graves.

The premise of the female lead returning after ten years of sword training to seek revenge really resonated with me. She doesn't have the typical "naive and sweet" aura; she's decisive and efficient. The characters' motivations feel quite realistic, and the storylines of betrayal and redemption are laid out naturally, making for a smooth read. It's the kind of story that keeps you focused and engaged throughout.
My second traditional wuxia novel (yes, it's still yuri, but there will be very little romance; it mainly focuses on the heroine's path of revenge). I hope you all enjoy it 💕💕💕 Please support me! Add it to your bookshelf and leave a comment—I welcome all! 🥰
Qu Honglian's character is very vivid; she is cold on the outside but warm on the inside, and even a bit "sharp-tongued." She is ruthless in exposing the stagnation and hypocrisy of people in the martial arts world, but she lets down her guard in front of Zhou Wanqing. Her return after ten years of seclusion is both resolute in seeking revenge and tender in protecting others, making the story very relatable.
I absolutely love this kind of female-centric martial arts novel! Qu Honglian fell from being the best in the world to the abyss, only to climb back to the top single-handedly. Her ten years of sword training weren't just about honing her skills, but also about tempering her heart.
Ten years in the making, the sword returns still burning with the "Crimson Lotus Flame"—a thrilling fantasy romance revenge epic. I stumbled upon this book and was immediately captivated by the line in the synopsis, "After ten years of dormancy, she crawled back from hell to earth." I read through all the updated chapters in one go and couldn't help but write this review.
This novel is truly excellent! The author's writing is superb, the descriptions are detailed, and it was a very enjoyable read. The plot is also very original, avoiding any clichés. Highly recommended for those who haven't read it yet—you won't regret it!!
This book is an incredibly exciting and satisfying martial arts revenge novel! Qu Honglian suffered terribly, betrayed by her most trusted sister, losing all her martial arts skills and her lover—a truly hellish start. But ten years later, she returns fully recovered, and her ruthless pursuit of revenge is incredibly cathartic! The author perfectly captures the extreme love and hate between girls.
What a masterpiece… There are no awkward dialogues, no childish stories, only the joys and sorrows of heroes and heroines, the clash of swords between good and evil, and the unforgettable bond of life and death after ten years. Honglian and Wanqing finally come together like the legendary Condor Heroes.
As a work that focuses on "a decisive and ruthless female protagonist + martial arts + GL + an all-female martial arts world," it breaks away from the traditional framework of martial arts novels. While retaining the bloodshed and violence of the martial arts world, it also injects a unique warmth into this world of chivalry and revenge through the unique perspective of an all-female cast.
The overall style is a blend of strength and gentleness, encompassing both the exhilarating thrill of swordplay and the tender steadfastness of protecting family and friends. The core theme of "Nurturing the sword for ten years, cleansing the world with the sword" runs throughout, making it very compelling.
