   Hmm 😊 Why am I only recommending one book 😊? Because it's my absolute favorite single-female-lead novel, bar none. I'm a girl, so I really enjoy stories with a lot of romance. There are multiple couples in the story. The male lead is the best in the world, with a male body and female appearance. The female lead is a little sidekick, a grass spirit. And it's the male lead who falls in love with the female lead first. In the early stages, before he falls for her, he's a bit silly and often taps her on the head, but later on 😊 he becomes very doting 😊😊😊 In short, if you like sweet romance novels, you definitely have to read this!

    A novel about physical cultivation leading to sainthood, featuring a single female lead and no system. [Admiration][OK] This is an incredibly addictive story about physical cultivation! The protagonist transmigrates to a low point and is expelled from his sect. He is stuck at the first level of Qi Refining but possesses a heaven-defying physique. The dissipation of spiritual energy actually helps his physical body become stronger. The plot of enduring long swords and diligently cultivating techniques is full of exciting moments, with clear logic and a compelling storyline!
