   Reader note

   This is a fantasy cultivation novel with a single female lead, no system, no harem, no invincible characters, no mindless plots, no exaggerated elements, no harem elements, no saintly figures, and no characters with low intelligence. Both the protagonist and the antagonist are intelligent and decisive. The plot and writing are good. It's a lighthearted and humorous rebirth cultivation story, a long cultivation novel. The protagonist is tricked into cultivating immortality, and he cultivates while making sarcastic remarks. He cultivates both his physical and magical bodies, and his cultivation level gradually increases. He pretends to be weak while actually being strong. It's a relatively long novel, lighthearted and funny with exciting moments. The plot is tight and not boring, and the pace is not too fast. If you like this kind of story, you can check it out!
