   Both are completed novels featuring female protagonists without romantic pairings, and I've personally tested them and found them enjoyable. As for the second book, you can casually read about the female protagonist's early imperial examination journey; the later scenes of her becoming an official are very engaging. Otherwise, there's nothing wrong with it.

   None of the following books have a romantic pairing. The first book features a female protagonist who is the leader of a special task force. She is incredibly powerful and has exceptionally strong moral principles. The second book features a captivating and alluring female protagonist who can effortlessly portray any role. She can make her transmigrated targets fall madly in love with her, become infatuated, go crazy for her, and even bang their heads against walls for her. Then, after conquering her, she becomes cold and ruthless. It's quite charming, isn't it? The fourth book features a female protagonist who has lived for 400 years. She possesses the inner core of a gluttonous beast and is meticulous, intelligent, and consistently sharp-witted. It's a horror story with a female protagonist who undergoes significant growth. (Yyds) The third book features a female protagonist who is a player and a cunning schemer. It's also a horror story. However, the female protagonist is intelligent throughout. She's not a saint! She's favored and nurtured by the system. The fifth book's female protagonist is a person from the underworld who helps people fulfill their wishes. She is very special because everyone else is emotionless. She also deeply reveres heroes, but she is not a saint. She is also a person of absolute wisdom. The sixth book features a female protagonist who's a player who's slept with too many people, including the Heavenly Dao itself. Forced to transmigrate, she becomes someone's lapdog! But our heroine, as a lapdog, manages to gain everything by licking and licking. When she's licking her targets, they think: "How can that person be so infatuated, so foolish?" But when she stops licking them, they think: "The clown was me all along."

    Anyone like reading stories with strong female leads and no romantic pairings? This post-apocalyptic female lead is resourceful and brave, engaging in teamwork and is quite exciting.

The first one is a bizarre game invasion novel where the female lead is extremely intelligent and not at all over the place. The second one is a cultivation novel where the female lead has a vengeful spirit and gets to slap various male leads with their cheat abilities, including dual systems, and there's absolutely no competition between the female leads—it's super friendly!

    These two are absolutely fantastic! The female protagonists are intelligent and strong; you'll definitely regret missing them. First, just from the title, you can tell the female lead is ambitious and ruthless in her pursuit of survival. She's a character who grows and survives, narrowly escaping death several times – very thrilling! The author skillfully foreshadows events, creating a great world-building experience. There's no Mary Sue element, and no romantic pairing. Jump in now! The second book has a fresh feel. You can see the female lead's intelligence from the beginning. Her ability to turn trash into treasure is incredibly powerful, making it a very enjoyable read. The female lead also has a cool and clear-headed personality. I finished it immediately! [OK] No romantic pairing, a clear-headed female lead – jump in now!
