    ⭐⭐Here it is! Check out this darling! Single female lead, no ambiguity, the male and female leads are always together, only separated for a few chapters, as they are basically cultivating together to improve their strength. The only downside is that the male lead is a bit naive, a complete newbie in both romance and cultivation. However, things will get better later on. Because they are both so inexperienced in relationships, their cultivation is hilarious, but at least they won't have any romantic feelings for anyone else, only for each other, and they both have a slightly crazy vibe.
