   I highly recommend the first book. Both the original and current male and female leads are truly exceptional individuals who don't vilify the original characters. I absolutely love this book; the author's writing is excellent. If you read carefully, you can even learn some essay writing techniques. It's truly fantastic. The other two books are just random picks from my bookshelf. Maybe I can earn some coins if I collect enough to cover all three.

   This kind of cultivation novel features a smart female lead with an engaging and authentic plot. The female lead is not lacking in love, is not fragile, and is self-reliant in her cultivation journey. She is mentally sound and doesn't fawn over male leads. Unfortunately, they are all still ongoing (it's unknown if the later installments will fall apart). (It seems that except for the last one, they are all transmigration novels… based on the ongoing plot, it seems to be transmigration, but we don't know about the later ones). ❶ The first book features a female lead who is both silly and crazy, with clear understanding and goals. She doesn't become a stepping stone for the original female lead's entire villainous family on her path to ascension; she's both adorable and quirky. ② The author also has a sequel to "The Empress Dowager Isn't a Salted Fish," with a very interesting plot! The pseudo-heavenly path selects several male and female leads from different plots, using Liu Yun as a stepping stone. The female lead starts causing trouble. ❸ Just because she's clear-headed, I have to join in. ❹ She doesn't fawn over the male lead as required by the system; she initially tries to survive by saving him, then becomes his friend… and later gets won over by him (her memories are sealed, making her think she's a time traveler, but she's actually back). ❺ A proper cultivation novel!! It tells the story of the female lead's cultivation journey in the cultivation world (she comes from a prestigious family and has high talent). Unlike typical female leads who are always envied, framed, and plotted against, this one has a strong sense of life trajectory. ❻ A Xianxia (fantasy/martial arts) novel, not a cultivation novel. A silly and enjoyable read, unlike the typical scheming and backstabbing stories, this one focuses on big events, not 1v1 verbal battles.

    Highly recommended! No romantic pairing, a lighthearted and humorous slice-of-life story of cultivation. The female protagonist transmigrates with a fragmented soul, resulting in a uniquely quirky thought process. Later, through a fortuitous encounter with a beast pet, they complement each other's spiritual roots and aptitudes. She's ruthless yet resourceful, and doesn't resort to mindless boasting. She slowly builds her own power.

    A single female lead cultivation novel! Who hasn't read this transmigration story featuring dual cultivation of Dao and Demonic paths, sweet romance, and a "pretending to be weak while actually being strong" cultivation trope? You're really missing out on a treasure! A modern couple in love are struck by lightning while taking wedding photos and are instantly transported to a cultivation world, possessing the bodies of a righteous prodigy and a demonic saintess, sworn enemies! Despite being mortal enemies in the eyes of the world, they are deeply in love. Bearing the identities of opposing Daoist and demonic factions, they secretly pursue their shared path, a sweet and thrilling tale! The main characters aren't saintly or resentful; they possess incredible fighting power but are extremely cautious about their lives, emphasizing a survival-oriented cultivation path! While others engage in magical battles and vie for opportunities, they hide behind earthen walls and throw fireballs, turning cultivation into a trench warfare guerrilla war—a mix of cowardice and strength, brimming with laughs; they fight monsters only to earn spirit stones and eat beast meat, cultivating in a Buddhist style while constantly pretending to be weak while actually being strong. When villains come to rob them, they instantly kill them—a truly exhilarating experience! The plot moves at a super fast pace, with no melodramatic clichés or heart-wrenching moments. The romance is sweet and pampering throughout, the dual cultivation of Dao and Demon is a novel concept, and there are tons of exciting elements like the Yin-Yang Harmony Ring, secret realm encounters, and city battles. You grow stronger while falling in love—it's addictive! If you like sweet and pampering cultivation stories, stories of the seemingly helpless but actually powerful being, and lighthearted and humorous writing style, go for it! You definitely won't regret reading it! #DualCultivationOfDaoAndDemon #TransmigrationCultivation #SweetPampering #TheHardworkingBehindTheHardest ...
