    Book 1: Transmigrates to ancient times, has a cheat system (powerful ability), but it becomes less noticeable after the first dozen or so chapters. Very good! Superb! No romance. Book 2: Also good, has a cheat system, but for me, it's the kind of book where reading too many chapters in a row can get boring (the way the male and female leads interact). Book 3: Not my taste, but it's okay, maybe it'll suit your taste. The female lead transmigrates to ancient times, has a cheat system, and is originally from the Spirit Taming Clan (the setting in the book).
