   Cultivation is forbidden in romance, and these 20 female protagonists have been celibate since birth, so feel free to jump in! ① The female protagonist, Liu Yipan, whose Buddhist name is Miaoqing, belongs to the Dumo Chan Sect. Miaoqing is terrible with directions and always manages to avoid the right path. After returning to her sect from her training in the mortal realm, she got lost for a whole year. Assassins came one after another to catch her on her usual route, but it was precisely because of her terrible sense of direction that the assassins were almost driven to despair by her. She's also an incredibly innocent and silly girl who often mistakes her sect for others. Men Huo Huo was suffering terribly. The sect even activated a grand formation to prevent her from returning and allowing her to continue her training and causing trouble for others. She possessed the power of words, but due to a deficiency in her benevolence bone in the early stages, she was essentially a jinx. It was precisely because of this deficiency that her master could hear her thoughts and often got so angry that his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys ached. Her spirit beasts were named Da Meng and Xiao Jiao. Da Meng was a Bai Ze, obedient, sensible, and adorable. Xiao Jiao was a Dream-Devouring Shadow Butterfly, very loyal but with a rebellious streak. The two often bickered but ended up hugging each other. If a fight breaks out, even the sect elders are a bunch of old swindlers, much worse than poor Miao Qing who was tricked. ② The female lead is Guan Shengsheng. This is a passionate ensemble piece with both humor and tears. In her previous life, the sect members died tragically one after another. Shengsheng, who was afraid of ghosts and the dark, spent almost all her time in mass graves, underground palaces of the dead, deserted deserts, endless seas, and ruins because she could still feel the presence of her senior brothers and sisters there. Shengsheng's memories were sealed, her mind was damaged, and she was used as a substitute for someone who killed his wife to prove his Dao, and her soul was scattered. In this life, she was reborn in the sect, but she can still hear her... The story revolves around a group of people trying to save themselves. The senior brothers and sisters are quite funny and silly, especially the self-proclaimed chosen one, the chuunibyou fifth senior brother. The group of prodigies are also quite strong and hilarious. However, as you read on, you'll inevitably shed tears. The original female lead in the book, the white lotus Luo Yuyang, is a transmigrator—I really hate her, I wish I could jump into the phone and kill her! After reading about her, I don't find Yun Niao annoying anymore. Fortunately, her ending was quite satisfying. I'm too lazy to type, so I won't go into detail about the rest. [Making a face]

    This is the only cultivation novel I've read all the way to the last chapter in a female-oriented novel, and I enjoyed it immensely throughout (because the novels I read before, while supposedly "feel-good" stories, had some very frustrating parts, which I had to tolerate). In this book, the female protagonist diligently cultivates in the early stages, always seen as a prodigy, never suffering a defeat. Later, there's a slight ensemble element (mostly focusing on the female protagonist) as she forms a group of nine prodigies, each with their own place, but the female protagonist remains the leader… There are no frustrating or angsty scenes; the female protagonist doesn't rely on stealing the original female protagonist's favor, but entirely on her own strength. The plot isn't just boring either (I consider myself a picky reader; some books I lose interest in halfway through, not because of the book itself, but because I gradually lose interest after the early parts). But in this book, I completely witnessed the female protagonist striving for first place and cultivating her own path. I think this book is not only exciting because of the female protagonist's unparalleled cultivation journey (the author's writing is the best I've ever seen; it truly amazed me), but also because of the heartwarming family, friends, and master… The worldly emotions give the characters a unique charm… I've shared a lot of my thoughts after reading it, and I hope this wonderful book will be discovered by more people! I've read countless books since I first opened Tomato Bookstore, and I've changed many phones in the process, but I've only recommended two books so far, and this is one of them. No amount of words can express even a fraction of my love for it. Thank you for taking the time to read my long post, and thank you for updating the chapter.

    This book is really good. It features a lovable, one-sided love affair between the female lead and the protagonist, who is single-mindedly focused on the Dao (the Path of Ruthlessness). Many people like it, and the characters are all very vividly portrayed. It's a pity the female lead is a stone. The ending was truly exhilarating, but I felt it was a bit rushed. I really wish the author would give each character a bonus chapter; everyone is so wonderful! Damn it, I have no books to read again!!

    I haven't finished reading *Fengxi*, so I'm not sure if there's a male lead, but he doesn't in the first 1200+ chapters (because that's all I've read). The first book definitely doesn't have a male lead, although it seems there's a guy who likes the female lead later on? But it's not worth mentioning. Later, the female lead brings living beings to the world she created (this plot also appears in the fourth book, but there's also an upper realm). The second and third books are ensemble pieces. I highly recommend the fourth book; the powerful characters in the early stages are mostly female, and the later parts focus on Luo San, Ling Qingwan, Gu Qingcheng, and Ying Chan—four people from the four realms. The main focus is on the first three: one is the female lead, one is a reincarnated person, and one is the original female lead (Ling is also the original female lead). The fourth and fifth books are somewhat formulaic; the later parts of *Fengxi* are similar to the earlier ones, which can get a bit boring. The worlds Luo San ascends to later all involve conspiracy theories. An Shu's book is also good; it's the ninth book. Lin Rushuang's book was previously on hiatus, but the author has now updated it to over 300 chapters; it's the eighth book. (I'm just writing whatever comes to mind.)

    Female-oriented cultivation novels without romance, which should fit the description of the second book (the protagonist is a minor for a long time, purely without romance). The third book, written by Adu, is really well-written; the protagonist is both genius and hardworking, highly recommended. The fifth book is for those who like silly, invincible ensemble novels; it's super funny, the female lead and the main characters are extremely wicked, but not recommended for those who dislike cheesy jokes, profanity, or toilet humor. Basically, every chapter has something to say about it. The sixth book is "Invincible Strong," the female lead is super genius and incredibly rich, also very good.

    The female protagonist of P1's "cool novel" reads a popular comic book in the cultivation world and says: "Is this what you call a 'cool novel'?" It's not as enjoyable as my daily life. Compared to her peers, the female lead ascends while they are still growing. The female lead is about to become a Heavenly Dao while they are just ascending. P2 Five spiritual roots setting. A single spiritual root is genius. People ask why not remove the other spiritual roots. The female lead says that although her spiritual roots are not very good, she will not deny herself. This is originally a part of her. Later, she rises through the competition. P3 Two female leads (not GL). The female leads are sisters. Micro group portrait. The female lead 1 is the older sister who cultivates alchemy. The female lead 2 is the younger sister. The setting is that the older sister is reborn and finds her younger sister. After they join a major sect, they join together. The female lead's talent is not good and her cultivation is slow, but she is very good at alchemy. She meets many friends in the major sect. They save the world together. And everyone in this book is very well-developed. The group portrait is that everyone is a leader in their respective fields and is not suppressed by the female lead. P4 Divination group portrait. A novel with a very novel perspective. Others rely on spiritual roots to cultivate. Divination cultivators rely on divination and cause and effect to improve their strength. The item that she has been looking for for a long time is the coin that she gave to a beggar when she first learned divination. Who understands this sense of destiny! P5 The concept of "Sound Cultivation" is also very novel, and the writing is very enjoyable. The female protagonist can use modern music to create imagery that evokes strong emotions, making it perfect for listening to while playing music in the background. It has a unique charm, like automatically adding background music to the book. The length of "The Elephant King's Journey" with the background music is truly domineering, grand, and very shocking. P6 The cultivation world version of government-forced rebellion and peasant uprising. Because I read it too early, it's listed last. This book was quite popular on Tomato Literature. Because the immortals in the cultivation world enjoy the offerings of mortals, but when mortals suffer, they grandly claim it's their karma. The novel starts with a group of mortals climbing the Heavenly Ladder. Some say, "Save my country! The country is in a drought!" Others say, "Cultivators bully men and women! Everyone has a grievance!" The female protagonist is one of them. Many people die on the Heavenly Ladder. After the female protagonist reaches the top, the immortals are still indulging in pleasure, turning a blind eye to the suffering of mortals and sending the female protagonist back. The female protagonist directly absorbs ghost energy and becomes the Ghost King. She leads her resentful subordinates to overthrow the cultivation world. The female protagonist says, "If you enjoy the offerings of mortals but do nothing, then you have no reason to exist." It's also a very enjoyable novel.
