   This is the author's first fantasy/xianxia novel, and you can check it out if you're interested. (Single female lead, no system, not a wish-fulfillment story, ensemble piece, initially told from the female lead's perspective, slow-paced and requires patience, with a lot of setup. Suggestions are welcome; the author humbly accepts them.) Note: The female lead is the first character to appear; the male lead appears in chapter 25. He is not the male lead in the first few chapters. Aside from the main and side plots, there is a lot of interaction between the male and female leads. If this bothers you, please proceed with caution.
