   1. No romantic pairing, her true form is a Xuanwu (a mythical creature). As a spiritual cultivator, she teaches them what omnipotence is. Wherever she goes, nothing grows. Her main theme is "poverty." She's both funny and powerful, and very entertaining. 2. She becomes a member of the Discipline Hall of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect's Slaughter Peak. Her main theme is decisive and ruthless killing. She becomes friends with her former mortal enemy, solely to change her tragic fate in her past life. The plot is fast-paced and engaging, definitely not mindless. 3. The junior uncle isn't just a figurehead. Besides providing food and clothing, he also takes care of the children. He teaches survival skills and social principles to prevent them from becoming love-struck. His hair has already turned gray at a young age. If you say this secret realm is rich, he'll rob it all, leading his junior nephews to overthrow the cultivation world. 4. The senior brother isn't necessarily the strongest, but he can be the brains. He flatters: "Please don't try to morally blackmail me, because I have no morals." He leads his junior brothers to sweep through the younger generation, deceiving fake immortals.

    This is an ancient Chinese fantasy story with elements of cultivation and transmigration. The protagonist transmigrates into a book written by his sister, and it features two male leads. The synopsis: The male lead transmigrates into the body of the Nine-Tailed Fox, the leader of the demon realm. The other male lead is a cultivator, seemingly a sword cultivator. He mistakenly believes the protagonist killed his family and begins to hate him, but this is not the case. Because the protagonist is a Nine-Tailed Fox, he creates several clones to save the other male lead, who remains unaware. (Main plot: happy ending) Eventually, the other male lead learns the truth and they live happily ever after. However, in the end, the protagonist returns to his original world, and the other male lead, along with a group of friends, goes to find him in that world and stays with him until old age. There's another plot point (a tragic ending in the side story): The other male lead, unaware of the truth, misunderstands him even more, imprisoning him in a dungeon, sealing his demonic powers (making him unable to use them), extracting his demon core, blinding him, breaking his legs, and killing his entire clan in front of him (an illusion, not actually happening, but the male lead is unaware). Thus, the male lead completes his final mission in agony, faking his death for this world. Afterward, he returns to his original world and becomes an actor. He, who was previously unable to cry, changes, becoming prone to tears, suffering from depression, and commits suicide. However, when the other male lead witnesses the male lead's actions during his supposed death, the sky plays a recording of the male lead's actions. The other male lead then learns the truth, cries, becomes a god, and goes to his world to find him, but he is already dead, because he himself...

    What about the second book, the one about dissecting the core and gouging out the eyes? I remember the plot was quite interesting, not focusing too much on cultivation.

I won't go into too much detail here, as I don't want to recommend too many. Just finishing those two books carefully is already a good start; too many options will only make it harder to choose.
