    I recommend these three books. The second one isn't about martial arts, and the third one's female lead's love for the male lead really puzzled me—he's practically invincible, yet he gets suppressed.

43. 243 我 I Use the Sign-In System at Mysterious Lotus Casebook 我签到在莲花楼 Drifting Willow飘飘之柳Female-Channel Fanfiction691k WordsCompleted Ten years. What a long time. Ten lonely years. If Li Xiangyi hadn't been so strong-willed, if he hadn't been fixated on finding Shan Gudao's corpse, then the agony of being consumed day and night by the Bicha poison would have driven anyone else to end their own life. That's why he is both Li Xiangyi and Li Lianhua. I hope someone can stay by Li Lianhua's side throughout those ten years. This is a story with nothing to do with romance.

    While neither is a martial arts master, the female lead is definitely not bad; she's quite strong in physics and other areas. I like the female leads in both books. They're not typical "strong female lead, wish-fulfillment" stories; the pace is slower, suitable for careful reading. However, the first book has just started updating, so I don't know how the female lead will develop later.
