   Although there is a system, it feels like it's just a guiding tool throughout the story. The main strengths lie in the characters' personal charisma and abilities, which develop a city from scratch. The logic is clear, the values are positive, and there's no romantic pairing. It's worth reading.

    A cultivation novel where the female protagonist levels up by defeating monsters, and writes down her daily life anecdotes. "Today, a guest of Yunshan Hall; from now on, let us not break our promise to Yunshan. Looking up, I see no bustling colors, only the clear breeze." No romantic pairing! She walks a ruthless path; the female protagonist is neither righteous nor villainous. The system is unique; do not use human morality to constrain her. She starts strong, not a traditional cultivation novel. The clouds of Siyun Mountain are broken by rain, and the sky is shrouded in the floating sand peaks of a dragon—mysterious and unpredictable.
