    Ahhhhhh, I'm raising the banner for no-CP (no romantic pairing) metaphysics! The first book is about Jiang Yi, my white moonlight! The ancestral master is also very quirky, and the plot is really fast-paced. I wanted to read the next chapter immediately after finishing the first one. The second book, don't be fooled by the title, it's a bit... Emmm, but it's really good! However, the female lead has a background, she's an old monster who's lived for a long time (just kidding), and it's truly no-CP, the Dragon family isn't the ancestral master's CP. The third book is about Shen Yu! I've recommended it in other topics before (but I'm the kind of person who keeps reading books I find good, but I usually start a new one after finishing one, so I don't remember the plot very clearly, it's probably not the live-streaming type, I'm not sure). The female lead is a saint, who has lived a long and arduous life from the upper realm to the modern world, but her style isn't just about running away and hiding, her personality is also very cute, very much to my liking. PS: It touches on the entertainment industry a little bit. The fourth book is also good, but it's really short! It just tells the story of the female lead transmigrating and then diligently working towards her ascension goal, it all revolves around what the female lead does, it's very ordinary, but also very captivating.

    Reader note

    The first book is a novel composed of various legendary stories; it's quite good and novel. The second book is shorter but very good; the female lead is a piece of wood from ancient times who is taken to a time-traveling area to complete a mission. The third book is a humorous and lighthearted story featuring the three female leads, Xie, a short-lived but long-lived member of the Xie family. His children are quite capable, and the plot unfolds seamlessly, with no gaps between chapters. It's quite good and logically sound. The fifth book is recommended for timid readers; don't read it during the day, especially not in the office. It's quite good, but it's a little scary.

The second book features a female lead who is a genius; at only three years old, she already possesses formidable magical abilities. She is pampered by nine masters and four incredibly wealthy fathers, making it a very sweet novel.

    The first book needs no introduction. The second book isn't a wish-fulfillment story; all beings suffer, and the world despises her, yet she still loves them and steadfastly adheres to her path of compassion. The third book is still ongoing; the female lead is a zombie, and the writing is excellent. It follows an immortal being who experiences the myriad aspects of human life through travel.
