   Wow, I highly recommend checking this out! No romance, super strong female lead. The female lead is the villainous BOSS in the book, researched to death in the apocalypse and then reborn (the female lead is immortal; she has bloodlines in her body, making her invincible). The rebirth is a plot point from the original book, but in the apocalypse, she accidentally overhears the inner thoughts of a transmigrator and learns that she is the ultimate villainous BOSS. She also learns that there's an original female lead in the book who will kill her in the name of justice. So, just in case, the female lead kills the original female lead. She's so powerful! She single-handedly wiped out an entire city! [Drooling emojis]

    Strong female lead, no romantic pairing. There's no female rivalry here. Every character is exceptionally well-developed and vividly portrayed. Many characters are hilarious, truly eye-catching. No melodrama, no Mary Sue tropes, no forced idiocy. Extremely gentle on the heart. Unlike those stories where the female lead is favored over the junior sister, forcing the boss to make sacrifices and then justifiably giving resources to the junior sister—those morally questionable plots are utterly cringeworthy. This book absolutely avoids that. Everyone's cultivating immortality; who still wants a super-powerful female lead who directly confronts the heavens? No Mary Sue, no melodrama, no forced idiocy.

She shares the same name as the top-ranked person on the Heavenly Ranking, which I suspect is also the same individual. Due to some unknown reason, she was entangled by a system and became a Foundation Establishment Grand Perfection cultivator. It seems she also has a higher-level account that the system is unaware of. After being entangled by the system, she needs to take on disciples to complete tasks and remove the restrictions of the Foundation Establishment Grand Perfection realm. The writing is good, and the relationship with her disciples isn't ambiguous; it's purely a powerful figure mentoring a newbie. The Wuji Sect, founded by the female protagonist, is also very mysterious. Even with her lower-level account restricted to the Foundation Establishment Grand Perfection realm, she is still no less powerful than those at the Nascent Soul or Divine Transformation realms, and could even kill them. Before taking on disciples, the female protagonist offended many powerful figures, but even after being restricted to the Foundation Establishment Grand Perfection realm, she still acts arrogantly in front of them, maintaining a high level of style.

    It's a fairly uneventful story; most of the people the female lead encounters are good people. Those she meets at the beginning all know she's an immortal, but no one says anything, keeping it a secret for her. The person she likes doesn't confess to her because of this, and it's only much later that they discover they like each other, even though by then she's no longer attracted to him. But it's really good, and there's no romantic pairing.
