Check them out!❗✨The second one is a "group-loved" (or "group-favored") novel, a cultivation novel, no romance, but the female lead is quite pitiful; she's always getting injured, it's painful to watch.✨❗I read the third one a long time ago, I don't know how it is now, but I'll just consider it a filler.✨❗And the last one, I'm not sure if it counts, because the female lead is a hidden "group-favored," but also very pitiful.

    1. A story of seven unrelated people redeeming each other. No one is closer or more in sync with them. The female lead is pitiful, but she has a powerful cheat ability that will slap people in the face. The people in the sect are very loyal. I almost cried while reading it. The six senior brothers and sisters are very strong and invincible in the next generation. It's a happy ending. There is no romance. The female lead is a child. 2. From being reborn and abandoned to growing up and becoming stronger little by little, she is the strongest genius of her generation. It is a micro-group story. The sect and several other sects in Xizhou are also very loyal. In addition to Xizhou, there are battles in other continents. The things they give to the female lead in the beginning will be repaid by her later. The lifespan theory is the most tear-jerking. You can read it for yourselves. Also, the female lead knows her final fate from her teens. It's a happy ending. There is no romance. The female lead is a child.

    🍋🍋🍎🍎 "Want to read a story that's a mix of angst and sweetness disguised as a story of a beloved family?" This one fits the bill perfectly. ① Jiang Xu was abused by his foster family for many years. After escaping, he reunited with his six older brothers, thus beginning their daily life of mutual pampering. But in reality—all the brothers have had painful experiences, and behind the seemingly pampered facade lies a lot of pain [almost crying]... On the surface, it's a loving family atmosphere—living in a big house, being pampered and protected by his brothers. The brothers seem to want to make up for all the love they missed over the years. [(⋟⋞) But behind this "sweetness" are seven hearts that have been cruelly crushed by life. This is a story of using deep family affection and mutual redemption in daily life—using tenderness to wrap the past wounds of seven "bitter gourds." They lick each other's wounds and will eventually walk towards a happy ending together.]
