    This book! It was incredibly enjoyable to read. The female lead doesn't follow the usual tropes at all; she believes in living comfortably, otherwise what's the point of being an empress? Nobody can control her, and all the officials in the court are completely subservient to her. It's hilarious—her entire being is rebellious.

Fortunately, there's always a way out. Wei Miao, on the verge of death from severe poisoning, is taken in by the Sect Master of the Supreme Sect and steps into a golden nest. Wei Miao's three senior brothers are rich, handsome, and powerful, but they like to slack off, so for a hundred years, the Supreme Sect has been at the bottom of the five major sects. The Sect Master and elders can only pin their hopes on the newcomer, Wei Miao. Wei Miao thinks, "Okay, the future of the Supreme Sect depends on me." She visits the top-ranked Qingfeng Sect and then the second-ranked Lingxiao Pavilion, reaching the Nascent Soul stage in a year. During the Grand Competition, the Sect Master of Qingfeng Sect and the Pavilion Master of Lingxiao Pavilion are dumbfounded by Wei Miao's ice spiritual power. "Isn't Wei Miao a sword cultivator? How come she also has an ice spirit root?" "Nonsense, she's clearly a talisman cultivator!" The Supreme Sect Master: "Don't look at me, I didn't even know when she learned that!" Wei Miao obediently replied, "You can learn it if you study hard." The young talents: ... Oh my god, she's Heaven's favorite daughter!

    The first character transmigrates into the body of a female celebrity who's been universally criticized online. She quits her job and goes home to farm, expecting to be ridiculed, but surprisingly, she's in high demand. The second male lead is a mysterious boss; the female lead enters dungeons to find the boss based on appearance, flirting with him daily (each boss is different, with different personalities and backgrounds in each dungeon, but they're all the same person, just clones). Tian Tian is her first love. The third character possesses superpowers; she's a future world-saving superhuman, on both sides of the power struggle.
