   The author's writing is guaranteed to be not mindless and purely enjoyable; it's logically satisfying, without any frustrating plot points. The female lead is strong but not a saint, there's no ambiguity or romantic subplots, and the supporting characters have almost no romantic storylines. It's not finished yet, but it's already over a million words long and worth getting into.

    I recommend this book, though it's probably not a typical "feel-good" novel; it's more of a coming-of-age story. It's not a traditional cultivation novel with a strong female lead, no romantic pairings, strong moral values, exceptional talent, multiple worlds, immortality, or a typical growth arc. It has a grand scope, no female rivalry, no male lead, no one-sided love, no awful characters, and no ambiguous relationships—even the supporting characters don't have romantic relationships. The female lead is incredibly intelligent, maintaining her high IQ throughout the entire story. From a seemingly simple-minded mute girl to a powerful senior, she's always positive and full of positive energy. I absolutely love her. You can check out the synopsis first.

    "My name is Fu Zheng, 'Zheng' meaning 'unyielding and resolute'!" The beginning is quite enjoyable, but not mindlessly so; it's well-paced, with the female lead resolving crises through her own strength from the start. The scene where she publicly refuses the marriage proposal is particularly dramatic. The synopsis provides a few memorable scenes, which you can check out. The jokes aren't frequent, but they occasionally pop up to liven things up [smirk].
