Every character in the book is well-developed and fleshed out, and many important characters are female. No triggers! The author's writing is excellent, and the plot flows very smoothly!

    Although many men loved her, she loved only herself. There's no rebirth, revenge, system, no saintly figure, no love-struck, just calm and self-possessed character. The story unfolds gently, best enjoyed with a calm and focused mind. I'm not sure if this meets your needs.

    Although I've read many books, this is the only one I've read in the "Genius" genre. The female lead's talent surpasses everyone else's, but it's a newly discovered gem and still in development, so it's a slow burn. She's a cool and aloof female lead, but she occasionally makes unexpected sarcastic remarks; she's also someone who's emotionally detached and clueless about romance.
