    I'm someone who really dislikes reading romance novels, but this one is truly excellent. The female lead is quite young, the male lead doesn't appear often, and the female lead gradually grows stronger. Most importantly, there's absolutely no Mary Sue element! It's not using cultivation as a pretext to exude female hormones. There's no excessive description of the female lead's appearance—no "national beauty" or "fairy-like skin and jade-like bones" from childhood—absolutely none of that! Not every man falls for her, and not all the women are bad. Everyone has their own path and destiny; she fights when necessary, and she doesn't hesitate to cling to powerful figures when appropriate! How wonderful! 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
