    I think the female lead in this book is quite similar to Lin Du in personality. Both have strong morals, are incredibly powerful, calm yet humorous, and possess a great love mixed with a touch of personal emotion. Whether it's her cultivation experiences within the sect, her three expeditions to exorcise demons, her later ascension to immortality and the rectification of the sect, or her three lifetimes, everything is well-written, with excellent prose. Of course, if you're concerned about the presence of a male lead, proceed with caution. However, I personally find the two of them quite adorable together, their relationship is healthy, and there's no excessive emotional angst. The male lead is a fox spirit. Initially, he was worried the female lead wouldn't like demons, so he kept his identity hidden. However, the female lead knew from the beginning; she possesses a powerful ability, but she still reassured him and never revealed it. That's how the book got its title.

    The first book has no romance. The author is exceptionally skilled at writing ensemble pieces, with excellent writing and logic. This is an action-packed ensemble story, quite different from traditional cultivation novels. The early and middle parts focus on accumulating merit in the mortal realm. Those who enjoy detective stories can read it without worry, but be aware that there will be some angst later on. The second book also has no romance. The female protagonist cultivates the blood path and has a wildly ruthless personality—decisive and ruthless without being a saint. The story has a grand scope, and the author's plot development is excellent, full of twists and turns. The writing and logic are also solid. The third book is an older work; checking out the author's other books will tell you its quality. It has a vast world-building and is not a traditional cultivation story. Because this is a longer book, you can read the manga version first to get into it. Note: There is romance; proceed with caution. The fourth book has no romance. The female protagonist is only four years old when she appears. Proceed with caution! Those who enjoy coming-of-age stories can read it without worry. The author's writing skills are excellent, detailing the female protagonist's growth and transformation. The main storyline is incredibly moving.

    For those who enjoy female protagonists, these are worth checking out. I've been reading for six years, and I found "The Deer Hunter" and "The Diviner" particularly enjoyable and memorable. They're all female-centric, no-romance fantasy novels, and these are some of the more enjoyable ones I've read. There aren't any particularly annoying characters.
