   You might want to check this out; there's a lot of action, I don't know if you'll get bored. The first scene that stuck with me was when the protagonist asked the clan chief, "Where did the two smiling faces go?" The clan chief gave her a resentful look: "Weren't the two clansmen already draped in your clothes by you, fairy?" Hahaha, that part was so funny! The smiling face added: "The clan chief's name is Rhinoceros Hide, oh dear, I forgot which 'hide' it was. The two clansmen the protagonist killed were named Rhinoceros Filial and Rhinoceros Integrity, referring to how she draped rhinoceros hide over herself and then used it to pluck pig hair."

   The first book is great. The female lead is strong and intelligent, not the mindless monster-fighting type. The male lead is also alright, not greasy or disgusting. The best part is that the female lead is stronger than the male lead, and she witnesses his growth as he constantly strives to catch up. The second book, I've only read a few dozen chapters, but so far it's quite enjoyable. The female lead is very strong. The third book is quite interesting. The female lead has the ability to save and reload, becoming a genius in the eyes of others through countless saves. However, it's just her hard work. I've read over a hundred chapters, and so far there's no romance. The only problem is the excessive save-loading, which sometimes makes the characters and plot lines a bit confusing.

    The protagonist transmigrates into a book, but doesn't compete with the original female lead for resources or engage in rivalry. Instead, they're in the same sect, have a good relationship, and are often seen together. The current female lead even helps the original female lead find resources. There are no misunderstandings, everything is straightforward, and there are no melodramatic plot twists. The female lead isn't a goofy character; she's polite, sincere to her friends, and a bit awkward around her closest people, but also quite charming in certain ways. She keeps her distance from strangers, treating them with courtesy unless provoked. However, if someone attacks, the only outcome is death. Furthermore, the female lead undergoes a psychological transformation, the logic is sound, and the stories flow seamlessly. She's somewhat weak in the early stages, but that's necessary for her to grow and open up; later, she becomes much more confident and generous (as seen in her profile picture). Importantly, she doesn't engage in any ambiguous relationships with the opposite sex! To everyone, the female lead is a cute little sister or daughter, and she resolutely avoids any romantic entanglements. A story of being pampered by her group, cultivating immortality, the female lead having no romantic partner, growth, healing, and mutual redemption.
