    These two are my absolute favorites. In the first one, the female lead doesn't have a romantic partner, but she's still very compatible with the main character. Her personality is very interesting—cheerful, lively, and funny, with lots of laughs. I think it's different from typical cultivation novels; it's particularly interesting, and her interactions with the main characters are hilarious. The characters in this book are vividly portrayed, each with their own unique traits, and even the female lead has a distinctive nickname. The second book is about space, and the scene where the female lead opens the escape pod is really cool. The satisfying revenge she gets at school is also very satisfying.

    Reader note

    These are all absolutely amazing. I spent a long time reading them, and I highly recommend books 9, 10, 13, and 16. Books 13 and 16 are both very long, and 13 has many couples. 16 Has multiple male leads. Book 9 is also good, with a ton of alternate identities—enough to clog your toilet drain—but it's on hiatus.
