   Although the female lead has a romantic partner, I still highly recommend this book. I really like the female lead; I admire her determination to achieve her goals, her willingness to put in the time to try, and her innovative spirit. I also admire her meticulous attitude and her pursuit of perfection in everything she does. Furthermore, I feel that the female lead is constantly pursuing self-worth and contributing to society while improving herself. Reading this book felt like finding the person I once aspired to be. Regarding the romance, it develops gradually. In the early stages, the male lead provides the female lead with many opportunities, but these are merely icing on the cake for her. I don't think utilizing available resources is inherently wrong, and later on, it's clear that the male and female leads share the same goals. I like this kind of relationship where they work together towards a common objective, hehe (* /∇\*)… As for shortcomings, there are indeed some minor plot holes in the novel, such as certain everyday details appearing twice. Anyway, you really need to read it yourself to truly understand. (˵¯͒¯͒˵)

   If you're looking for a story focused solely on cultivation, the first book is perfect; it avoids excessive romance or overly sweet scenes between the main characters. However, if you prefer a cultivation-themed story, the second and third books are also suitable. While they are sweet, the romantic moments between the main characters aren't overly obvious, which I think you can handle.
