   The first novel, a fast transmigration story without a romantic pairing, is very good. The female lead has a great relationship with the system, and the system dotes on her.

    Reader note

    These are some of the stories I found quite enjoyable. Except for the third book, all the others have audiobook versions with live-action adaptations; except for the sixth book, all are purely non-romantic; the first, third, and fourth are all family-loving stories; for the others, you can check my suggestions or the summaries. The first three are modern stories that also touch on metaphysics, so they're not truly modern in the strictest sense (avoid these if you don't like them, and don't question whether they're modern in the comments, it's just a setting). I think all three are very good. ① The first family-loving story leans towards metaphysics, and the female lead is very powerful (I haven't finished it yet, but I really liked the earlier parts); ② The second is mainly about metaphysics, with the female lead live-streaming fortune-telling (I personally think there are no flaws); ③ The third is my favorite family-loving story, the female lead is loved by the animals, and the later storyline of Chi Qian and her family helping each other is really touching (just a heads up, it has metaphysical elements). The fourth, fifth, and sixth books are cultivation stories; ④ The fourth book isn't finished yet, but I really like Ye Qiao's personality and her interactions with her senior brothers, as well as the unity of her disciples against external threats. Ye Qiao is often the last hope, and her unexpected moves are her greatest weapon. Personally, I think this light novel isn't as addictive as others; I don't find it tedious to read, except the updates are a bit slow. I'll save it for later. ⑤ As for the fifth book, its premise is that the female protagonist transmigrates to the cultivation world and can only return home after death, but she can't commit suicide. Later, she saves some people by attempting suicide, and those people later become powerful figures. However, due to misunderstandings, they feel the female protagonist wronged them. After the truth is cleared up, they realize they were just being delusional (the female protagonist always wanted to go home and had no feelings for them). I admire the female protagonist's perseverance in wanting to return home, even after gaining great power and influence (disguised as a man). Many people think it's a "player" novel, but I don't think so. However, if you're sensitive to this genre, you should skip it. I'm considering recommending the sixth book because I feel the author intended to focus on the male lead, but I didn't see a romantic subplot between the male and female leads, and the male lead doesn't appear much. The female lead has a strong sense of the Dao, and I really like this book. I read it as a no-romance novel, so I recommended it. If you don't mind, you can check it out; if you're sensitive to this, skip it. The seventh book is an ancient Chinese novel, with no harem or romantic subplots (except that at the end, a boy the female lead helps likes her, but she doesn't reciprocate his feelings). It has a hellish opening; although she's an empress dowager, she has no money or people to rely on. Later, through scheming, she obtains money and uses a system to acquire talent and solve her problems. She engages in a battle of wits with scholars, gradually establishing her authority as empress dowager and managing Yun Zhao. I personally think it's quite interesting. There's also a spin-off book in the cultivation world, which I haven't read yet. If you're interested, you can check it out. These are all books I really like, and the characters are ones I like. I don't want them to be slandered. This is a novel; don't impose our real-world thinking onto the characters. For a better reading experience, we suggest you turn off the paragraph comment bubbles. Welcome everyone to read the novel together!

    Both of these books are non-romantic. The first one leans towards a lighthearted and humorous tone. The second one is good, well-structured, and the whole story flows smoothly without any confusion. The ending is a bit of a shame because of the female lead's tragic past. [Sad emoji]
