   The first book is a female-centric story without a romantic pairing. The female lead never loses a fight and always subtly shows off, overwhelming her enemies. Although she seems cold, she also has a strong sense of national pride and patriotism. Highly recommended! The second book does have a romantic pairing, but so far, none have appeared.

    This has to be it! The female lead is the daughter of a military family, with a heart for the common people. Even if the enemy is stronger than her, she will fight for a chance to survive. Prodigies from all over the country gather because of her. On her path to becoming a sword immortal, she discovers that she is bound by a restriction, caused by a curse placed on her mother. The protagonist then cultivates and unravels the mystery, uncovering the secrets of her past life, while becoming the supreme swordsman. Moreover, this book is an ensemble piece, a female-centric novel, with many secret realms and cultivation techniques. The best part is how cool the female lead is when she fights monsters. There's also an inner sect competition, where prestigious families from all over the country come together to fight and compete for a place in the inner sect.

    I'm shamelessly recommending this novel, a more traditional cultivation story. There's no reincarnation, no time travel, and no cheat codes. I want to create my own unique cultivation world where the chosen ones must strive to cultivate. Talent is just the entry threshold; what truly determines how far one goes is perseverance and hard work. [Under pressure][Under pressure][Under pressure]

    It's a fantastic read! Here are a few things I really loved: ① The protagonist is incredibly strong, and the fight scenes are very dynamic. He easily defeats all attacks, making for a very satisfying read. Moreover, the protagonist's true identity is the strongest immortal. (Except for initially being unable to kill the chosen one of destiny, he can now severely injure him through destiny transfer. The chosen one is actually an insecure man who secretly loves the protagonist, but the protagonist is very assertive and ignores him, only using him, which the chosen one mistakenly believes is for his own good.) ② The female lead's cross-dressing is a big draw for me. Unlike many similar stories, the protagonist doesn't deliberately weaken her aura; she maintains a relaxed yet sharp youthful charm, making her character development very coherent. ③ The "all-powerful but no-CP" setting is my favorite part. The protagonist will never be with anyone!!! (Both physically and emotionally) No one is worthy of him. Many stories on the market either force pairings or completely lack emotional interaction, but in this book, many characters are attracted to the protagonist without being forced into a relationship. Like a bright moon, they are free and independent, belonging to no one. This kind of atmosphere is rare. However, the protagonist isn't a good person; it's just that his aura is very charming—powerful and aloof, yet very attractive. ④ He appeals to both men and women; characters who admire the protagonist are not gender-specific, creating a naturally captivating character. ⑤ Protagonist enthusiasts should definitely check it out; so far, the protagonist has had a great time, and the author has stated that the protagonist won't be treated unfairly. ⑥ The only ones who need to please the protagonist are men and women; the protagonist has a great time throughout.
