    Reader note

    This is a very traditional cultivation novel. The female lead is well-developed; she's intelligent, the kind who gets stronger when facing stronger opponents, and there's a reason behind all the fortuitous encounters she has—it will be explained later. Her cheat-like abilities aren't overly powerful, and she also experiences setbacks. Most importantly, the author is excellent, skillfully burying plot holes as they go. The male lead appears relatively infrequently, almost like a background character. The two are like partners; when they're apart, they're both growing independently, and when they meet again, they give each other bags full of treasures they've collected for the other [laughing emoji].

    Book 1: Su Chanyi and Ye Xuan, both intelligent and emotionally intelligent. The female lead is reborn and finds her perfect match; they have a romantic pairing. Book 2: Jiang Que and Wu Yuan, both transmigrated. They are bound by fate because of their foolish senior brother using the Mandarin Duck Pouch. Book 3: The female lead, Di Yunli, is a soul transmigrator. The beginnings are exciting, she has hidden strength, and the lack of a saintly, overly sentimental tone is very appealing.
