Any complete cultivation novels that aren't mindless? No wish-fulfillment stories or pretending to be weak to catch the strong off guard. I'm looking for books where the villains are actually intelligent.

A hundred years ago, Chen Qingyuan entered a restricted area called Tianyuan. The soul lamp went out and everyone thought he was dead. Today, although Chen Qingyuan walked out of the restricted area alive, his cultivation was completely ruined and his spiritual roots were broken. Faced with the beauty's regretful marriage and the oppression of various sects, what should Chen Qingyuan do? "Chen Qingyuan, I give you two choices: one, marry me; two..." There is a girl in a red dress living in Tianyuan, with eyes like stars and a soft voice. "I choose two." Before the girl in the red dress finished speaking, Chen Qingyuan made a decisive choice.

Except for the last one, which has a female protagonist (with a male protagonist, the role is smaller), the first four books all have two male protagonists. I have been reading these books for more than a month, and I can't remember the specific details. In short, they are placed in the group that I particularly like and have already read.

Hey, fam! Let me tell you, I am a blind cat who accidentally stumbled upon this extraordinary novel. It is simply a hidden treasure! 🤩That little Xi'er inside, oh my, it's full of cuteness. It's so cute that my heart melts. It's like a walking cute bomb, "exploding" me to the point of dizziness. My mouth is like a rusty broken teapot. I can't pour out a few beautiful words. Anyway, Xiao Xi'er really makes my heart tremble with pain.

This is definitely a good book that is delayed by its name. It explains metaphysics from a scientific perspective. A generation of return-to-empty cultivators came from China to the earth to rebuild. They started to develop science and technology in the face of the general trend of humanity. It was super funny in the early stages and I couldn't stop reading it.

It's not brainless or witty, it's a brain-burning and refreshing story. The plot is exciting and not as boring as regular invincible stories. The details are meticulous and the plot has ups and downs. I traveled back in time and became a villain in a novel, but I couldn't survive more than three chapters. Fortunately, I awakened my god-level gift of understanding. I can deduce the techniques just like drinking water, and my rank keeps rising.

It is a rare female protagonist who is not a love-minded person. The whole article feels very real, logical and not brainless.

Highly recommend "Life Simulation: Let the Female Sword Fairy Regret Your Life"! This book is very imaginative. The protagonist holds a life simulation system, jumps repeatedly in the world of immortals, and plays with his destiny. The female sword fairy was originally a flower on the high mountain, but she was disturbed by the protagonist and her heart was in ups and downs. The love and hatred between the two was so exciting. The author's writing style is witty and humorous, and the protagonist's various tricks make people laugh. While he is upgrading and fighting monsters on the road to immortality, he is busy "fighting wits and courage" with the female sword fairy. The plot has ups and downs, and various reversals are unexpected. Reading this book is like riding a roller coaster, exciting and joyful, you won't lose money if you invest in it, so hurry up and catch up!
