   The female lead is fantastic, and while the male leads are all outstanding, she remains true to herself, very rational, and knows what she wants. Unlike other novels, she doesn't follow the typical trope of marriage. She ultimately finds a male lead and enters into a relationship, resulting in an open ending. Thumbs up!

   I'd recommend some books I've read and enjoyed. I'm a bit of a bookworm, having started reading in junior high and continuing into my freshman year of college. Also, there's Yuan Zun, Perfect World, and Da Xu (the exact titles might not be accurate, but these are all by Tiancan Tudou and I think they're good). The book that truly inspired me is The Strongest Anti-Routine System; those interested should definitely check it out, it's very good.

    Add a bookshelf, write a book review, and you'll be happy all day. Purely original, excerpted from Chapter 131. I was born an orphan, orphaned at a young age. I was taken in by two elderly people who pitied my plight and raised me. They also had a young daughter, Lotus, my childhood sweetheart. We had little land and a humble home, with no savings, but my parents toiled tirelessly without complaint. Eighteen years have passed in the blink of an eye. Though our days were simple and frugal, Lotus warmed my heart. My daughter grew into a beautiful and talented young woman, stunning all who beheld her. Lotus and I fell in love and pledged our lives to each other. One day, I encountered a cultivator who declared my extraordinary talent and offered to take me as his disciple to impart his teachings. He said that if I attained enlightenment, the world would be astonished. I had no desire for immortality, only to grow old with Lotus. However, poverty and my parents' illness forced me to become their disciple to repay their kindness. They took elixirs and miraculous medicines, and my parents recovered completely. I followed my master to seek immortality. At our parting, we wept bitterly, vowing never to forget each other, and to return together in eternal life. Reluctant to part, the fragrant grass seems to understand my heart. Six years have passed since we parted, night after night I think of you, day after day. My master, seeing my mortal heart stirred, ordered me to descend the mountain to face the trials of love. Returning home, I collapsed to the ground, my house destroyed, my fields barren, my parents dead, their bones withered. Lotus committed suicide in the mass grave. Only then did I learn the reason, and anger rose within me, a wicked heart ignited. A wealthy man, heartless and lustful, took Lotus into his household. Lotus refused, her beauty ruined, my parents heartbroken, losing their lives. Lotus cried out to heaven, but received no answer, and followed him to the underworld. I searched for Lotus's remains that night, only to be torn apart by wolves and dogs, my heart breaking. The path to immortality is severed, life is meaningless, I vow revenge for my beloved.
