   The female protagonist is a demonic cultivator; she's not invincible, but extremely mad. She doesn't have a romantic partner, but most of the male characters are quite cunning and manipulative. The later episodes shift towards an ensemble perspective, which can be a bit depressing, but the characters maintain a carefree attitude, so it doesn't feel too stifling. Please read the author's warnings before reading; if you think you can handle them, then you can give it a try.
