   This is a female-centric cultivation novel with no romantic pairing. The female protagonist transmigrates only to live a peaceful life, but ends up altering formations and devouring forbidden books, leading the sect elders to deem her intentions impure. She believes she has principles, saving those who deserve it and killing those who deserve it, but the righteous path slowly categorizes her as a demon, making for a rather interesting read.

    The first book is a super "white moonlight" (ideal) novel, female-oriented, male-only, no romance. The protagonist is a cold, fastidious, and rational character with a grand cultivation theme. The sect is normal, and there are no particularly idiotic characters. It's a peaceful cultivation journey with mutual affection within the sect. After all, it's been so long; it would be abnormal if the sect wasn't friendly. There's no one else like him online. He has a slight "sweetheart" vibe, but not much; he's just a pretty normal person. The second book is also female-only, no romance, and I highly recommend it. I'm currently reading it; it's very slice-of-life and peaceful. The protagonist seems like a very ordinary person accustomed to daily life, and he likes raising fluffy creatures. His master is a fluffy big fox, and there are many fluffy creatures throughout the story. So far, he's also quite normal, with no idiotic characters. You can check it out. The protagonist in this book is a little more "sweetheart" than in the first one, but there aren't any particularly ambiguous characters, since most of them are fluffy creatures. There might be some ambiguity later on. It's still ongoing. It's a transmigration system game, but the protagonist's presence isn't very strong. The first book seems to be about the protagonist either seducing or being seduced by others. The protagonist lives a very ordinary, mundane life of cultivation, giving it a slightly cheesy, slice-of-life cultivation/farming feel. The third book is a female-oriented, male-leaning, no-romance protagonist-shou (bottom-in-the-box) story. The protagonist is straight, and the author will likely stick to the no-romance format. Currently, there aren't any particularly ambiguous scenes, but there are many one-sided crushes. The protagonist is completely oblivious. The cultivation life is quite uneventful; the characters are normal, with no idiotic ones. Some characters are quite peculiar, fitting the unique spirit of cultivation. This book also features a system that transmigrates and wants to go home; the later developments are unknown. The system wants to bring the original male lead into love with someone else, but its presence is minimal, appearing very rarely. The original male lead is a normal character, and there are many foreshadowing elements. I'm currently following this book.

    ① An ensemble piece, reminiscent of the Legend of Sword and Fairy series. I kept mistaking the female lead's name for "Tu Xian" because it's so fitting to the theme [facepalm]. ② A revenge story, anti-system, anti-time-travel. The female lead, Yu Xuan, is truly insane, preferring to die a glorious death rather than live a shameful life. ③ A super-powerful female lead story, where the protagonist in various scenarios is Nan Xian's plaything. With her pure jade divine body, no one would suspect her of doing anything wrong.

    My first new novel is about a female cultivator's growth. The characters are very well-developed, the plot is original and engaging. My second novel features a cute, mischievous child who's a child at heart and body. It's a story of a little bear girl's adventures in the cultivation world. My third novel is an ensemble piece about cultivation, with an abstract and humorous style; the female lead is very spirited and beautiful.
