    [Female Lead Setting] A pseudo-black-hearted lotus, a universally adored character, stunningly beautiful, and strong from the start. A strong female lead story, not angsty, melodramatic, or frustrating; a refreshing read, not naive or saintly. Fair-skinned, beautiful, and strong. ● Multiple male leads with open endings; male leads in love triangles; a wife-chasing frenzy. ● Plot twists and turns; fast-paced, not boring, and anti-cliché. [Synopsis] Li Chaoyin is a female cultivator with a firm Dao heart, vowing to trample her senior brother underfoot and become the head of the Lingyun Sect. No one can shake her senior brother's sword heart, except for her, whom he spares, letting bygones be bygones… She tries to ambush him in a secret realm but fails, instead falling into a deep cliff because of him, her life hanging by a thread. Ouyang Changxuan: … (feels something is wrong, but has no way to refute it) Li Chaoyin is a beautiful but always single female cultivator, her mind filled with nothing but cultivation advancement. However, the most handsome man in the Misty Sect relentlessly pursued her, insisting on becoming her Daoist partner, shaking her resolve... Hao Yu: ... (Feels something is wrong, but has no way to refute it) Li Chaoyin is a female cultivator who strictly adheres to etiquette, vowing to maintain a normal master-disciple distance with her master. But her master seems to be hiding something from her; his gentleness and kindness seem to be just a disguise... Feng Lang: ... (Smiles without saying a word). One day, the Eternal Night Lord of the Demon Realm claimed her as his subordinate. Rumor has it that Mu Yunshan, who imprisoned the most powerful expert in the Lingyun Sect, whispered in her ear like a demonic voice, "You are a demon." Female protagonist: With a single sword stroke, she drew the Lingyun Treasure, seduced the most powerful expert, and destroyed Mu Yunshan, who had imprisoned her for decades. She defected from her sect, transformed into a demon, and retrieved her long-sealed memories. Female protagonist setting (leaning towards a black-hearted lotus): The Great Dao is ruthless; she uses every means to soar to great heights. I alone ascend to the heavens. What of the past? I only need the sword in my hand.

    Reader note

    "The protagonist progresses steadily from tending the herb garden to participating in the outer realm trials and the Crimson Flame Forbidden Land, maintaining a pace that consistently switches between 'accumulating intelligence, setting traps, and reaping the rewards.' The outer realm trials and forbidden land exploration segments are information-dense yet not cluttered, with satisfying moments, foreshadowing, and character arcs well-balanced. Details such as Ye Que's uncontrolled demonic seed and its sealing techniques, Su Qinghan's probing messages, and Li Xuantong's 'fish-raising' logic create a well-developed and multifaceted character relationship in the middle stages. If you prefer a writing style that emphasizes 'step-by-step progression, information warfare, and multiple foreshadowing resolutions,' this book will definitely be to your liking."
