   This female protagonist is ruthless and decisive. A powerful woman with supernatural abilities from the apocalypse transmigrates to ancient times. There's no drawn-out plot; she goes straight to killing. Doesn't her hand hurt when she slaps someone? She directly disarms a wicked servant with a dagger and slashes her half-sister's face. That night, she conveniently sends her stepmother to sleep in a beggar's hut. The emperor treats her with utmost respect, fearing she might attract divine lightning. After severing ties with her scumbag father, the female protagonist inherits the Valley of Healing Immortals, and her father regrets it. (The female protagonist has no romantic partner.)

   It's a good read. I love the female lead's character design; I adore her! I especially love the lack of a romantic pairing. Each story is fresh and interesting. At first, I thought the female lead was a Taoist master, but later I found out she's a cultivator. I feel like the later stories will get even more interesting. The only downside is that there are too many sidekicks!

   The female lead, Lin Zhihuang, reverts to her female form after becoming a prefect. She then uses her female identity to conquer the world. I personally believe there's no male lead; every character in the book is vibrant and multifaceted, and they are all protagonists. The female lead does have a romantic partner, haha. She's beautiful, tragic, and strong; I'll marry her!

   This is great! I just finished reading it. It's a female-centric novel. Don't let the title fool you; there's practically no romance in it (referring to the female lead who's solely focused on her career). The female lead is incredibly strong! [Salute] She transmigrates into the body of a delicate princess and slaps those useless men across the face in the early episodes. All she wants to do is finish her missions and go home. 💕
