    No romantic pairings, the female lead has no sexual relationships, and the entire book avoids any romantic entanglements or female rivalry. The early part focuses on growth, while the later part explores the rise of women and their microcosmic narratives. It primarily depicts women's awakening, growth, and redemption; it's not cold-blooded, but rather fleshed out, with humanity and principles—a setting I absolutely love. In a world where men are favored over women, and women are inferior, the female lead returns to the world after tens of thousands of years. She discovers that her master, Shi Yan, while searching for her, has seen through the cruelty of the world's true nature. Shi Yan then overthrows the patriarchal regime. After her return, the female lead removes the "captured" mark from everyone's souls, helping women worldwide rise and transform, completely overturning the rules of the world. Warning: This is not a fast-paced, action-packed story; it's a growth-oriented narrative with a slow start, a grand plot and world-building, and high-energy development later on.

    No romantic pairings, no idiocy, no cheat codes, no mindless fun... A proper ensemble piece... The author has already hinted (or explicitly stated) that Wu Zetian will ascend the throne. I don't understand why so many people are giving low ratings for not having Wu Zetian ascended the throne, when she's only 4 years old.

    This story has no romantic pairing!!! It's really good! An Miao is strong-willed, intelligent, and has leadership qualities; she's a wolf in sheep's clothing (I absolutely adore An Miao 🥰); Ge Ming is a sarcastic crybaby (sarcastic yet adorable, absolutely amazing); Aoli is gentle and sensitive (a giant of 1.8 Meters, and she's just a baby? Interesting); Gou Yisheng is an initially grumpy puppy, later becoming an adorable puppy (he argues with anyone who mentions dogs, as if he's forgotten he's a puppy himself); Wuwei is initially inconspicuous, later becoming an adorable little ghost (Wuwei loves An An the most~); Zhiyu is initially a socially awkward little fish, later becoming a quirky and adorable beauty (a cute little mermaid); Luo Er is initially a proud elf, later becoming a sweet and cool young man (Hmph! I'm a noble elf~); It's really good, with various plot points logically connected. Is it internal trouble, external threat, or alien invasion of Earth? (Sometimes it's really brain-taxing 😭, but the final result is always unexpected 😱), there are also many great shipper couples (but our An is always single!!!) (Mu Fu 99, Lei You 99, Yan Rou 99, Peng Yu 99), there are currently over 1000 chapters, and the author is still updating, there are other teams, Cook Team and You You Team, if you want to see more of the funny and cute daily lives of the three teams, then hurry up and jump in! Welcome everyone to become book lovers! (I might be a little disorganized, but this book is truly one of my treasures, it's really super good, I can't explain it clearly, you'll know once you read it) Note: This is just my personal opinion, if anyone doesn't like it, please don't scold the author or me, please~ 🙏🙏🙏 Wishing everyone good health, all the best, smooth sailing, wealth, good studies, good work, good health, good family, and everything good

    The first one I'm listening to now; the female lead is very strong, intelligent, capable, and decisive—highly recommended. I've listened to about 300-400 chapters and there's no ambiguity, clearly no romantic pairing. The second one I've caught up with is also very good, no romantic pairing, no ambiguity. The third one is also no romantic pairing, no ambiguity, high-quality content, but the author keeps stopping updates. The fourth one is no romantic pairing; the female lead is an old lady, no ambiguity. I finished listening to it last year. The fifth one also has an old lady as the female lead; I finished listening to it last year, but I don't remember the details. The sixth one is the same as the fifth; the female lead is an old lady. The seventh one is no romantic pairing, highly recommended, there might be a little bit of ambiguity, but it's very good; I've read it two or three times from beginning to end. The eighth one is no romantic pairing; the male lead is a local deity who raises a group of little spirits as his followers—a very interesting book. The ninth one is a no-romantic quick transmigration ensemble book.
