   This is a great book. The female lead saves the male lead in a game, marries him, and then disappears at the height of their happiness.

   This book perfectly matches its title and is my personal favorite traditional cultivation novel featuring a single female protagonist. It begins with dual cultivation, with the female lead having a significant role. Both the male and female leads are geniuses who dominate their respective cultivation levels. Their love is mutual, and they protect each other in times of crisis. Together, they explore secret realms and seek immortality, ultimately becoming emperor and empress in the immortal realm.

   Reader note

   It's alright, these days pure cultivation novels are hard to find. I could only find a few that don't involve time travel or systems. (They all have male leads.) ① After the female lead dies, she sees the tragic future of herself and her junior sisters. She comes back to life and then searches for her junior sisters, helping them escape their tragic fate. ② The female lead was originally a mortal with a husband and best friends. One day, she and her loved ones were unjustly killed by cultivators. She opened her eyes in the River of Oblivion with resentment and went to the Nine Heavens to seek justice, but the Nine Heavens protected the cultivators and refused to give her justice. From then on, the Lord of Ghosts was born. Since the Nine Heavens wouldn't give her justice, she would seek it herself. Truth lies within her sword. (Warning: The female lead had a husband when she was a mortal, but that husband is not the male lead. If you're sensitive to this, please don't read.) ③ In the eyes of the world, she is a demoness who forcibly occupied the number one swordsman in the immortal realm for three years, despised by everyone. But who knows that it wasn't the swordsman who seduced her step by step? As her memories return, the truth unfolds, and their fate is not over yet. Tens of thousands of years ago, in an era teeming with geniuses, they were the first to emerge. After the great war between gods and demons, the divine realm closed, most gods perished, a few slumbered, and the newly born gods descended to the mortal world, while the demon gods died. One day, a strange light appeared in the sky, and a woman arrived at Hidden Mountain, one of the five great immortal sects of the cultivation world. From then on, Hidden Mountain gained a senior sister of unknown origin. Years later, at an immortal sect disciple exchange meeting, a girl with a wicked sense of humor flirted with the head disciple of the Northern Zong Mountain sect.
