    Yes, there are three female protagonists. While strong, the female protagonist doesn't bully the weak. She can fight against evil and save the six realms, yet also work diligently and integrate into the community. Cultivation, in the end, is about cultivating the heart. The female protagonist has compassion for the six realms, knowing that from birth to death, everyone is just a piece on a human chessboard, yet she still chooses this path because it aligns perfectly with her own chosen path. (The female protagonist is not a naive, innocent character.) The second female protagonist is the female protagonist's stepsister. Though prone to being capricious, she sometimes feels a pang of jealousy towards the powerful female protagonist. However, she has the clearest sense of right and wrong. Even when others are harsh and distant towards the female protagonist, she always stays by her side. She is lost throughout her life, but in the end times, she discovers her own path. The third female protagonist lays the foundation for the female protagonist's journey. Influenced by her master, she is skilled in using methods, but unlike her master, she also possesses a touch of tenderness. Her initially firm path doesn't align with the female protagonist's, and the two gradually drift apart. As the end times approach, their hearts grow increasingly doubtful and confused. What have they sought in their lives? Are their pursuits right or wrong? No one can judge.

    Throughout her journey of survival and cultivation in a chaotic world, the female protagonist doesn't receive any extraordinary advantages, nor does she possess any innate strength or a smooth, effortless life. She relies solely on her calm and clear-headedness, unwavering resilience, and unique talent in talismanic arts to struggle for survival amidst oppression and life-or-death crises. While steadily improving her cultivation and delving into the art of talismans to achieve self-growth, she remains steadfast in her principles, making her own choices amidst the conflict between morality and power in this chaotic world.

    Self-recommended! This is a female-centric novel with some ensemble elements, featuring a main cast and a comedic touch. It's a slow burn. The female lead starts as a peak demigod, but like Li Lianhua, she's injured and falls from grace. She hides her identity and lives a carefree life in the mortal realm. For various reasons, she saves the male lead and embarks on a cultivation journey with the main cast, leveling up by defeating monsters, playing dumb to outsmart others, and settling old scores along the way. Li Lianhua's ending is regrettable, but I hope hers isn't.

    This is a cultivation novel with a female protagonist, and it's amazing! It subverts the usual tropes, and the author has a wild imagination. Even the entry test for cultivation is different—you'll never guess what it's like! Haha, it's super good! The female protagonist is strong-willed, intelligent, quirky, and a master of witty comebacks. It's a slightly satisfying read. The male protagonist is also very strong, and he doesn't fight back even when the female protagonist beats him up… It's fantastic! Absolutely amazing!

    Look at my darlings, this book is about soul transmigration. Male soul in female body, slow-paced cultivation. There's a system, but it's not very useful; combat power increases very slowly.

    Reader note

    Avoiding many clichés found in similar novels, the cannon fodder female protagonist doesn't pursue her master or oppose him. Her survival logic is remarkably realistic: prioritize self-preservation, accumulate strength, and avoid getting involved in the main storyline's conflicts. The early setup is ample, showing the female protagonist's cultivation gradually increasing rather than achieving instant success. Side quests involving the Joyous Union Sect and evil cultivators enrich the world-building, making the reading experience less monotonous.
