   That's definitely the book to recommend; it's a god-tier novel whose title doesn't do it justice. The female protagonist, Chu Yan, gets a system that grants her the qualities of a sickly beauty. She's constantly being courted by outstanding men, and coughing up blood and fainting are common occurrences. But she uses these systems to her advantage, using these scumbag men to gain physique points and become a martial artist. Later, she becomes an incredibly powerful figure, scoring a perfect 660 on the college entrance exam, including a perfect 623 in physics. Then, the system even suggests she build a harem! This premise really resonates with me!!!

   The female protagonist is bound to a powerful minister system. Disguised as a man, she stays by the King of Qin's side as a strategist.

   These are several novels featuring a sickly female protagonist cultivating immortality. The first book is serialized, while the others are completed. In the first book, the female protagonist is rational but mentally ill—truly ill in the real sense—because her biological father bled her to maintain the sect's interests. However, she outwits him and kills him. In the second book, as the title suggests, the female protagonist is blind, but she recovers later. However, she dies in the end, fighting for freedom and to avoid being controlled by the Heavenly Dao. In the third book, the female protagonist is a sword cultivator (heavy sword), but the author didn't finish it and hastily ended it (because the outline was lost). The fourth book is by Lin Du; those who know him will know him, and those who don't are advised to check it out—it's very good.

    Although this story is not yet finished, the author writes it very well. The writing style is excellent, and the characters are well-developed and have distinct personalities. However, the romance develops rather slowly. The female lead is the only god in the world. She starts by losing her memory and being bound to a system. She only wants to give up and is very powerful. She can cultivate without any "lightning tribulation." Later, she rescues the male lead, a proud and arrogant demon king who is jealous of and hates humans.

    I'm recommending my pure ancient-style martial arts novel. The female protagonist starts off disguised as a man, severely injured, coughing up blood, and unconscious. She's rescued and healed by the male protagonist. In my book, the female protagonist is by no means weak; she's strong and kind. Although her martial arts skills aren't high initially, they will improve after she experiences various events. During this time, she will frequently be injured, coughing up blood, and unconscious. As for the reasons why, please look forward to it! [Please follow][Like][Like]
