    It's hard to find a book as good as "Nan Xian"! The third one is worth checking out; the female lead's motivation is the same as Nan Xian's—to become stronger. Nan Xian doesn't need to say much; others will fill in the blanks. In this book, the female lead explains herself. The first book, although featuring a three-year-old girl, is truly the villain. She starts with no martial arts skills but progresses rapidly, becoming incredibly satisfying when killing. The second book is similar to the banned book by Su Yu; everything is about becoming stronger. The fourth book is a palace intrigue thriller.
