It's a great read, set in a dark fantasy cultivation world (I actually think this is what a real cultivation world would be like). The female protagonist is reborn, but the integration is very well done; it's not the kind of awkward young romance. The title perfectly describes the story: building the strongest family. Highly recommended! The plot flows smoothly, and watching the protagonist go out to seize opportunities is really satisfying (greedy yet rational, not unworthy of others, and not inexplicably morally superior). It has the same satisfying feel as a male-oriented (no lewd) cultivation novel, without family drama, melodramatic plots, or brainless family members.
