   Uh... I asked you all to post stories where the female lead is cold, aloof, and powerful. I don't know what you're all posting about.

    Why isn't anyone recommending this? I initially started reading it because the cover was funny, but it turned out to be so enjoyable! Fans of fast-paced, action-packed novels are in for a treat! The content is so satisfying it'll give you goosebumps! Since reading this, other cultivation novels have felt lackluster. Although the author doesn't explicitly state it, this one seems to be without a romantic pairing. I absolutely love strong female protagonist novels; they shouldn't have any romantic pairings. The female lead never cares about anyone's feelings and settles scores immediately. There's almost no point in making the reader feel frustrated because she's incredibly powerful, the strongest in the world, traversing ancient and modern times—she's reached new heights of strength! I love this crazy female lead! And there's another point that really resonates with me: the female lead is a time traveler. She doesn't have the typical "white lotus" or "love-struck" moments from the original story or her past life, so there's no sense of dissonance like "why was she so confused in her past life and suddenly so clear-headed in this one?" I really love it! The female lead is extremely self-serving and prioritizes personal gain. Furthermore, her cultivation increases by attracting the hatred of others, so... It's fair to say the female protagonist's path to immortality is smooth and unobstructed because she's already so powerful that no one can stand in her way. Everyone should go read it!

    The first book is a transmigration novel with a strong female lead, a sword cultivator with a Heavenly Spiritual Root, no romantic partner, and a focus on her being unjustly treated. In the book, she's a supporting female character who punishes the female lead, making her universally disliked. The second book is a rebirth novel with a female lead who isn't as strong yet, but is a cultivation genius, a ruthless cultivator, reaching Foundation Establishment before fifteen, a single-grade Gold Spiritual Root sword cultivator, no romantic partner, and has a genius master. The third book is also a rebirth novel with a ruthless cultivator who was influenced by a group of brainless senior brothers and masters. Reborn, she's aloof and indifferent, no romantic partner, flying solo, reaching Nascent Soul stage at twenty, cultivating illusion techniques, and possessing a Water Spiritual Root. All three are excellent, though the ratings aren't high, they're truly enjoyable!

    The first book features a female protagonist who doesn't realize until her thirties that she's in a cultivation world and is an immortal being, her bone age forever frozen at 18. Even when encountering someone near death, her first instinct is to quickly avoid them, avoiding trouble and never rescuing strangers. The second book features a female protagonist born into a cultivation family, but with poor spiritual roots. However, she has a weapon-refining system, so she has no choice but to wield a hammer and forge iron. Initially, she's unassuming and doesn't compete, but later she becomes ruthless and insane! The third book is an ancient version of spiritual energy revival. The female protagonist has three systems that allow her to fall in love with three different men, and she uses the competition between these systems to her advantage!

    The female leads in these books are really ruthless, though they're still a little soft-hearted towards those around them. The female lead in the third book is also quite cold towards those around her.

    Hello, your savior from a reading slump is here! The following three are all non-romance (no romantic pairing) cultivation novels, and I personally think they're very enjoyable. [Kiss] [Heart] The first book's female protagonist, Bai Luoluo, was originally the ruler of the underworld. Later, she made a bet with the Heavenly Dao and became a mortal. After becoming a mortal, she lost her memories, diligently cultivated immortality, and finally discovered the truth of this world, destroying the Heavenly Dao (who was evil).
