    🌞①A slice-of-life female-oriented cultivation novel, without a romantic pairing. The female protagonist is reborn with congenital deficiencies and is bound to a lifespan system. She cultivates to gain more lifespan, so it's not considered a cheat system; the female protagonist cultivates diligently on her own. It's not a mindless wish-fulfillment novel.

    Trust me, this book is really good! [Already hooked] A soul transmigrates into the body of a twisted female supporting character [Almost crying] A rollercoaster of emotions! The early plot development is smooth, the later development is hilarious! Male Lead 1: He split off half of his true soul, hoping 1+1>2 to directly ascend to the Great Dao! But the female supporting character ruined it, making him so angry his eyes turned red and his head was practically steaming. He went to confront her, but he picked the wrong target! [Facepalm] Male Lead 2: We are on different paths, good and evil, so it's best not to fall for me! Then he was repeatedly fleeced, making him so angry he [Angry] frantically grabbed people to collect interest! Male Lead 3: Sister, what bad intentions could I possibly have? [Shy] I just want to travel with you for a while! My true identity is actually… Male Lead 4: Standing at the peak of the Heavenly Evolution, with the strength to shatter the void, why can't I?! [Frustrated] I refuse to accept this!!! In short, this is a vividly portrayed ensemble piece, a serious cultivation story where the secondary couples are constantly complaining, seriously funny, and featuring multiple couples [Note]. The entire story flows smoothly, the characters are intelligent, and it's very friendly to those who dislike simplistic plots. I recommend giving it a try! [Kiss]
