    I'm shamelessly recommending this as a traditional cultivation novel. There's no reincarnation, no time travel, and no cheat codes. It's a female protagonist story; she comes from a military family and is exceptionally talented. This chosen one must diligently cultivate; talent is just the entry point, but what truly determines how far she goes is perseverance and hard work. [Laughing][laughing][laughing][laughing]

    A family-themed fantasy novel without a system—this is the first time I've read one written like this, and it's really good. I loved Mo Shoutian, it's a pity he died. Will the second-generation Mo Xiaochuan, as the patriarch, disappoint me? Those who like traditional fantasy should check it out. It's truly excellent.
