    The first book, *Zun Du*, is highly recommended! It's really good; the female lead genuinely grows through her own efforts, and the male and female leads help each other. The story's pacing is very smooth. The second book features a female lead and the original female lead who both desperately want the other dead. The original female lead isn't a naive, innocent character and is quickly eliminated; both are quite intelligent. They are both sophisticated egoists. There's no absolute right or wrong; becoming stronger is the most important thing. The third book is about cultivation in the ancient prehistoric world. The author has some personal interpretations, and it feels similar to other prehistoric novels I've read before. It reflects real-life workplace and officialdom life, offering lessons on how to be a good person. The plot is a bit long and might get a little dry towards the end. The fourth book is super good! It deserves more than just a few points! The female lead is hilarious, and the interactions between the male and female leads and their fellow disciples are funny and enjoyable. The writing is a bit weak in the middle to advance the plot, but it doesn't detract from the overall quality. I found it very enjoyable to read, and I especially loved the interactions between Weiwei and her junior brother—they were so cute! The last book was a fairly standard cultivation ensemble novel, with a funny female lead and a fairly fast-paced plot, though it did get a bit tedious towards the end.

    In short: A confident, arrogant, and magnanimous genius female protagonist (who has a cheat-like ability to avoid misfortune) embarks on a cultivation journey starting from a mortal. The male protagonist is her childhood sweetheart, and it's a pure and innocent love story. Here's a detailed introduction: 1. This story has a classic cultivation novel feel, starting as a mortal and gradually cultivating. Although the female protagonist is a genius, she doesn't achieve instant success. 2. The female protagonist has high emotional and intellectual intelligence and is the most talented in the book. She is confident, arrogant, resilient, and hardworking, with cultivation as her ultimate goal. She isn't entirely virtuous; while she prioritizes personal gain and is cunning and manipulative, she doesn't disregard human life and isn't inherently evil. Her confident personality (which I find very vibrant) might be perceived as arrogance by some. Those who dislike this type of female protagonist should avoid this story. 3. This story is truly female-centric. The author's word choice and phrasing use "them" and "them" to refer to all characters, and "jealousy" is used interchangeably. Secondly, the female characters are numerous and diverse. The Crown Prince of the Empire is female, the First Daoist Master of the First Sect is female, the city guards are female… This story isn't about gender swapping or de-masculinization; rather, many positions and roles are naturally female, which I really appreciate. 4. The romance is also handled very well. Since both characters are only eight years old at the beginning, there aren't many romantic scenes; instead, they grow up together. The female lead is stronger than the male lead in every way (though he's second best). The focus is always on the female lead; the male lead is neither a background character nor does he diminish her brilliance. It's a pure, obedient childhood sweetheart story.
