    This should be considered a cultivation novel, and it's nearing completion. The characters of the male and female leads fit the author's requirements quite well. Although the female lead is a transmigrator, she actually originally belonged to this world, but due to some intractable reasons, her soul was forced to enter the modern world. (Slight spoilers here) Both are strong; the female lead is very assertive, not silly or a saint, and has extremely strong talents in various aspects. The male lead is aloof and very powerful. I personally got into cultivation novels because of this book. Some minor issues I found problematic: 1. The reason the male lead likes the female lead isn't clearly explained, and it seems like forced love in the early stages. 2. Some villains and seemingly innocent characters are extremely persistent, seemingly unable to disappear for dozens or even hundreds of chapters. If you like this kind of story, you can give it a try! Overall, it's good; the author's writing is excellent.
