   I think these two books are pretty good; they feel quite novel. In the first one, the female protagonist is a God of Wealth descended to earth to undergo tribulations, striving to improve the lives of ordinary people. However, her reincarnation is destined to lack wealth and can't hold onto money, which is quite something. The second book features an incredibly strong female protagonist, and the plot is also excellent, with all the plot holes resolved. The female protagonist sacrifices herself to save the world. Her family, unable to bear her departure, goes to great lengths to give her a second life, erasing her first ten painful memories. In this life, the senior sister also encounters a wonderful master and grandmaster, and is accompanied by a proud and adorable fox, which redeems the aloof and serious female protagonist.

    It's completed and has no romantic pairing. I found it incredibly satisfying to see the female lead break ties with the system. This story is from a few years ago and isn't exactly female-friendly; it's more of a female-centric power-up story. Everyone can be a lifeline or resource for the female lead, including the man who initially asked for her help but eventually falls for her. She'll ruthlessly eliminate him. You need to have faith in her and be patient in the beginning; the satisfaction isn't immediate before she's built up her power. She's incredibly cunning, ruthless, and manipulative—a master of manipulation, with superb acting skills, resilience, patience, and intelligence—making her my favorite protagonist. As for the "evil woman" label, perhaps because everyone in the story is a hypocrite, I didn't see it that way. The female lead simply has clear goals and works hard towards them.

    Seeing this title immediately resonated with me. Some cultivation novels are truly awkward. Why do they always have to write such long, Mary Sue-esque fairy-like descriptions every time the female lead appears? It makes the female leads seem greasy. Pairing her with the male lead... Well, it's like a Daqing oil field! Especially since the author's writing isn't up to par, it's really torture to read. It makes the protagonist's kindness and gentleness in saving others seem less impressive and more arrogant and conceited. These two are books I often read, and also some of my favorites. The first one is a classic example of a beloved junior sister; it feels like the stories became more unified after Qiaoqiao appeared. The second one is a bit unconventional, but refreshing and interesting. As a perfectionist gamer, I know exactly how to reload save files. The third one, although it's supposed to be cultivation, is more like martial arts, more like a mortal realm rogue cultivator version, with added game elements. If we're talking about pure cultivation, then I recommend "The Female Supporting Character's Cultivation Journey," which was my introduction to cultivation novels; it's quite an old one.
