The female lead is a big shot 🌸 First book: No romance. She transmigrated after battling evil spirits in her previous life, already a powerful figure. She connects to the underworld with her bare hands, borrows the Red Lotus Night Fire, is familiar with the Ten Kings of Hell, and even knows the Heavenly Dao's favored daughter, negotiating with the Heavenly Dao. Although she only wants to lie low in this life and constantly hide her talents, no one is more outstanding than her, so she can't hide them. 🌸 Second book: Humorous writing style + monster fighting. The female lead is straightforward; a single sentence can cause a family to break up, go bankrupt, and go to jail, making her someone people avoid. But she's very professional, inventing spatial talismans, acting decisively, boldly, and meticulously. When fighting enemies, she considers all aspects. The female lead's stepmother and siblings are also very kind, creating a great atmosphere.

Just finished reading it, it's so good!!! A mysteriously strong female lead, with a romantic pairing, but the male lead is just a perfectly placed background character! No kidding! Ahhh, I can only say the female lead is so adorable! The female lead in the novel is incredibly powerful, the strongest in the entire story! She's also very intelligent. At first, you might be a little misled, thinking she's not very bright (not that she's stupid!!!), But surprisingly, she only needs to decide whether she wants to or not. Every step she takes is ahead of everyone else, especially in the final battle. Even the seemingly "silly" female lead has family she'd fight tooth and nail to protect, and our poor brother. If she hadn't returned, perhaps her brother wouldn't have survived much longer. The female lead is a light for many people, the only remaining warmth. Their interactions are warm and joyful, sometimes making us overlook... Given Mei Bao's identity and formidable strength, she seems like an adorable little sister. Mei Bao does have a romantic partner, but he's more of a background character; his presence isn't jarring but rather perfectly fitting. Every time he appears, it's to lend a helping hand. There's none of the clichéd, disgusting "strong woman, even stronger man" setup (I mean in female-oriented novels). It even made me, someone who really dislikes male leads in female-centric stories, accept it. There are some arrogant supporting characters, but they don't exist long and are quickly proven wrong. There are also other characters who secretly admire the female lead, but their presence is even less noticeable, so it doesn't detract from the overall experience. Therefore, in conclusion, I highly recommend her!

[Learned][Learned][Learned] Jiang Yan, a top figure in the world of metaphysics, is a strong female lead with a romantic partner. After failing to ascend to immortality, the female lead unexpectedly transmigrates into the body of the real heiress who was switched at birth. The original owner is disliked by her family and kicked out of the house after being reunited. To make a living, the female lead livestreams ghost hunting, leading viewers to encounter ghosts right from the start. It's very good, the plot is concise, and the fates of those who are divined are clearly explained. It's very good, I really like the female lead Jiang Yan's personality—beautiful, kind-hearted, not a saint, confident, and strong. Every story is captivating. The female lead is always happy and sweet when she's with Li Yanzhou.
