Even when the male lead's perverted nature is exposed later, she overcomes her fear to protect and comfort him. They truly care about each other; it's so sweet!

39. 1289 无 Infinite: The Heroine Awakens in a Black Coffin 无限：女主在黑棺里苏醒了 Chubby Little Dudu胖小嘟嘟Mystery1.5M WordsCompleted The great masters in other stories are all ethereal immortals, riding flying swords. Yin Qing is different: she rides... a coffin. An infinite-flow novel. Not every story arc is horror-themed; all kinds of worlds make an appearance.

    Highly recommend this first infinite flow novel! No romance! The female lead is ruthless and taciturn! Not a saint! She purely follows the plot to strengthen herself! Although the ending was a bit rushed, I still love the beautiful Qingqing so much! I absolutely loved the female lead in the second book! She had strong morals and wasn't a saint! She was incredibly talented and beautiful (the most beautiful woman in the cultivation world!! Pay attention!). Every character was well-developed, and there was no romantic pairing. The third book is a lighthearted and humorous story about educated youth during the Cultural Revolution. The female lead becomes good friends with the original female lead, and together with Xiaomei, the three form a "backyard F3." The male lead has less screen time, but their romance is very sweet! The female lead focuses on enjoying the gossip. The fourth book is also hilarious; the male leads can hear the female lead's complaints. I read half of it before starting school and then forgot about it. I wonder if the male lead is the Imperial Tutor? Reply if you see this!
