   The female protagonist in this book is always extremely cautious while on the run, fearing discovery. She's constantly being hunted by her enemies and killing those far beyond her level. The character development is also excellent; she's not the kind of character who's overpowered from the start. There's always someone stronger than you, the female protagonist has a steadfast Daoist heart, and the system genuinely guides her.
