   This is the most thought-provoking contemporary romance novel I've ever read, a pinnacle of intellectual romance. However, it's not suitable for younger readers lacking social experience. The business warfare sections are incredibly exciting, and the romance between the two strong characters is particularly captivating. The writing is superb, far surpassing that of novice authors. The only problem is the lack of suitable alternatives. If anyone can find a book of this caliber, please recommend it to me; it truly tests one's intelligence and emotional intelligence. Almost everyone who has read this book is recommending it. If anyone has such a masterpiece, please share!

    True female empowerment isn't about the woman being stronger than the man! The first book features a princess who later ascends the throne. The male lead is saved by her and raised as her subject, but she is undoubtedly the stronger one. Later, you'll find that although it's set in ancient times, a significant number of important characters are female. The second book is a romance-free, unique "true and false heiress" story. The female lead is very ambitious, and her relationship with her mother is also very touching. All the important characters are women. The third book is a fast-paced, enjoyable read. The female lead is exceptionally strong from the start, but she's unaware of it, believing herself to be an ordinary person when her true identity is far more powerful.

Her soul transmigrated to ancient times and was rescued by an old woman. She has wood-based abilities, allowing her to sense vegetation, trigger attacks, and identify poisons—all instinctive. Before the invasion of bandits, she led the villagers to escape famine. Even without her abilities, she's formidable in combat. After arriving in ancient times, she lives a serious life. The female lead's character is incredibly charming. The male lead appears late in the story and has limited screen time. There's no love at first sight, and they don't share many scenes together.

    The female lead is pretty cool. I really enjoyed the part where the divine weapon recognized its new master. The male lead's natal sword doesn't recognize him, it recognizes the female lead. When the female lead is discussing matters, the male lead can hardly participate because he doesn't have that right.

    Ruthless and merciless to outsiders, betraying each other internally, yet inseparable. The plot is exciting and fast-paced, full of twists and turns, with laughs and satisfying moments galore. This kind of story, focused solely on action and no romance, is incredibly appealing! The pure hatred within the sect is so captivating! While other sects are about brotherhood and sisterhood, their sect is all about "sacrificing a fellow cultivator rather than oneself." The eldest brother uses fellow disciples to test poison, the second throws people into formations, the third uses the blood essence of fellow disciples to nourish his sword, the fourth summons ghosts to possess his teammates, the fifth risks his life in a 1v5 fight, the sixth smashes people with his zither, and the master calmly tries to mediate: "Stop fighting, or the sect will be destroyed!" No romance, everyone is a villain, and the plot twists are so unpredictable you'll never guess what will happen next.

    The historical romance novel is complete. It's tagged as a strong female lead; the female protagonist is a public enemy of the martial arts world. She has a romantic subplot, but she never falls for any of the male supporting characters she has a romantic relationship with before her death. However, there's a bit of romance in the extra chapter.
