    This book, this one! The female lead, Luo Luo, is incredibly powerful. She's a Taoist cultivator and has lacked passion since childhood, so her expression is always very serene. Although she doesn't understand the male lead's feelings at first, she protects her Sanlang. Luo Luo truly possesses the spirituality of a Taoist, with an ethereal quality. Every time she saves or helps someone, it feels like a fairy descending to earth. Moreover, the spells and incantations she uses are all genuinely verifiable; the author must either be a professional in this field or truly dedicated. The male lead is also superb—a love-struck Sanlang. Luo Luo, just go for it! The first part of the novel is structured in episodic units. Because of its metaphysical elements, it has a feel similar to the supernatural tales I read as a child. And who can understand it? Like Tang Gui, each small unit has its own protagonist, and the author has carefully crafted even the smallest characters! The author's writing is truly excellent; it's the first time I've felt the charm of Taoism so clearly in this kind of metaphysical novel. Definitely worth buying!

    In her past life, the female protagonist was intelligent and possessed strong combat abilities, but she was used as a blood bank in a laboratory. She knew this but didn't care because she was emotionally naive. Even after transmigrating to the new world, she remained aloof and cold to everyone. However, due to her Pure Jade Divine Body, everyone perceived her as a naive and innocent saint. In reality, she was ruthless and determined to eliminate any danger.
