    Don't be fooled by the title of this book. The female lead isn't really a simp; she often only says one sentence, but the guys always imagine she'll give up her real benefits, only to get completely ripped off. 1- The female characters are fleshed out, some good and some bad. 2- The female lead doesn't need others to scheme against her before she schemes against them. As long as someone offends her or is deemed unfavorable, she'll launch a calculated and proactive attack. One of the harem male leads, Lin Yuan, is an example. I've always thought that aloofness is a form of strategic planning and meticulous calculation. 3- Personally, I didn't feel frustrated. There was a part in the middle that I felt frustrated about, but the author resolved it later in the plot. Reflecting on it, the author's description was indeed safer. 4- So far, there's no male lead. The female lead is very beautiful, and when she's scheming, it's like a gentle knife that's deadly.

    The first book fits the bill perfectly, and the protagonist is quite rational. The last book is the best, with the female lead rising from the bottom to become powerful, and she has a great romantic partner. The second and third books are both sweet romance novels about cultivation, and the protagonist is quite rational.

    Reader note

    This is a book I've already finished reading and highly recommend. The female lead is intelligent throughout, while the male lead disguises himself as a woman to infiltrate the immortal sect. Initially, the female lead keeps her distance from the male lead, but he manages to win her over by pretending to be a girl and showering her with affection. It's definitely worth reading.
