   I've tried reading Yin Nian's novel many times but never got to finish it; I only read a small part. There aren't many cultivation novels that I can actually finish. Last night I was following one that's currently quite good, but I haven't finished it yet, so I don't know how it will go later, and I haven't recommended it. The following are all books I've added to my bookshelf; they're all very good. The first one, although it's ongoing, is really good. I've accumulated over a hundred chapters but I'm afraid to read it now, because it'll be gone in a flash. I want to finish it, so I've been holding back. The second one is a contemporary romance, but it's really good. I'll reread it when I'm looking for something to read. The third one I stumbled upon when I was looking for something to read. I didn't think it was good at first, but it's really good. It's not the traditional protagonist-centric story; the female lead is very smart, there's no out-of-character behavior throughout, and every plot twist is very reasonable. The fourth one is a dual male lead novel, and it's super good! There are many couples, and they all have a sense of cause and effect. Except for the first one, which isn't finished yet, these are the other three I've added to my reading list to reread when I'm looking for something to read. You can give them a try! [Kissing emoji]

   So far, what I've seen is a story where the male lead is stronger than the female lead, and they grow together. The male lead has someone to guide him, so his progress is faster.

    Should I include a female protagonist who's the strongest in the genre? This book doesn't start off particularly well, but it gets better as it goes on (except for the somewhat awkward romance). It has that classic "dragon-and-swan" feel, where the female lead is the strongest, able to handle life-threatening situations on her own without needing the male lead's help, though he's not as strong as her. It really has that classic "dragon-and-swan" story vibe—a hot-blooded rise from humble beginnings, unstoppable, traversing various maps, leaving everyone she encounters behind, with the male lead just a accomplice (in my opinion). Next, unrelated to the book: Sigh, so as long as there aren't any particularly annoying male-centric descriptions, I actually prefer reading male-oriented novels. Because I much prefer stories with a strong protagonist rather than ensemble casts. It's the kind of story where the protagonist is always the best, the strongest (not referring to starting at max level, but rather that the protagonist doesn't need anyone to save them, has enough trump cards and confidence to deal with those who fear and want to eliminate them along their path to growth; seemingly troublesome situations keep arising, but they can always be resolved). (I read wish-fulfillment stories, so of course I want something super enjoyable). The map is constantly expanding (I like this kind of story, probably because I'm a rather free-spirited person at heart). The career storyline is the most important, and the romance is just a diversion. I really love this kind of story. Please recommend any stories that fit this description, thank you.
