   The first book features a male protagonist who lacks a dantian and cannot cultivate, while the female protagonist, with all her acupoints opened, sacrifices herself to kill an immortal at the cost of severe injuries. They encounter a woodcutter-scholar who, years ago, achieved enlightenment at the academy and broke through four realms in a single day. The couple who adopt them include a former top genius of the Sword Sect, and so on. There are many geniuses and prodigies. The male protagonist appears weak, but he actually possesses high comprehension; he grasps sword essence at a glance and can break through the defenses of a third-realm expert without cultivation. He receives guidance from an immortal while learning the Fountain of Youth. His exceptional comprehension, despite being unable to cultivate, allows him to reach peak fourth-realm combat power in just a few months through intelligence and comprehension. The writing style is also above average. I recommend this book. The second book features a male and female protagonist with dual souls that automatically switch at certain times. One is decisive and ruthless, the other naive and sweet. The male protagonist has high combat talent, while the female protagonist has high cultivation talent. Their relationship evolves from mutual dislike to mutual redemption. The third book features a male protagonist who cannot break through realms, but whose spiritual power is practically limitless. He stands out among a group of genius junior brothers and sisters. Despite having the lowest cultivation level, his junior brothers and sisters all respect and admire him (at crucial moments). He's a very reliable senior brother (at crucial moments). The plot is well-written, and the romance is fantastic. It's so captivating that it makes me swoon!

    Yes!

I suggest reading the comments section of the last chapter first, where the author summarizes the entire novel. The author's writing style, plot structure, imperial strategies, political maneuvering, emotional narratives, military warfare, court intrigue, and governance are all top-notch. The author's writing is astonishing, grand in scope, lofty in its themes, profound in its thought, solid in its knowledge base, deep in its cultural background, and masterful in its political maneuvering. If you don't like it after reading it, you can slap me! It's not a mindless system-crushing story; it focuses on political intrigue, large-scale ancient warfare, a continuous romantic storyline involving Shen Luoli, and multiple parallel storylines encompassing court intrigue and governance. It blends historical figures from the Zhenguan era with those from *Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties*, adding modern military and philosophical elements for a disruptive effect. Modern thought and educational achievements are used as experiments in the evolution of civilization in the Tang Dynasty.

    The female protagonist transmigrates into a novel. In her previous life, she was a renowned musical prodigy. However, after a concert, she was caught in a plane crash on her return flight in a private jet purchased for her by her fiancé at great expense. She transmigrates into the body of the original owner of the book, and they look exactly alike. She also receives a "Perfunctory System," beginning her perfunctory daily life. She possesses a top-tier golden spiritual root, an innate sword heart, and is famous throughout the continent. She formed her core at the age of 17. There is a male lead, and while the female protagonist is slow to warm up, this doesn't mean she's emotionally clueless. She cultivates both music and swordsmanship, and her identity is not as simple as it appears. The transmigration may not be accidental; in the original story, the female protagonist is killed by an arrow piercing her heart from the male lead, who is a half-demon. The female lead is the Valley Master of Hidden Maple Valley, the rightful heir to the Valley Master's position, and possesses a seven-aperture exquisite heart. Her heart can suppress the backlash from her half-demon bloodline. Even her bones were ground into incense powder after her death (actually, it wasn't the male lead who killed her, so don't worry, the male lead is her third senior brother). Rest assured, the female lead isn't love-struck and won't suddenly become less intelligent when she encounters the male lead. If you like strong female leads, go for it! There are many hidden surprises in the story, definitely to your liking. Go for it!
