   The female lead in this book is quite intelligent; she's not stupid, and there are no instances of her acting foolishly. She focuses on cultivating immortality and won't provoke those she obviously can't defeat. She's a bit cautious in the early stages of cultivation, but she's definitely not a pushover. Later, when she has the opportunity, she'll strike decisively, leaving no trace. I recommend it, although it's still ongoing. The only downside is that the female lead is overly cautious, but caution is a good thing, especially in the cultivation world. If she were also arrogant, she wouldn't survive long, since geniuses are prone to fall [laughing emoji].
