    I'm shamelessly recommending this as a traditional cultivation novel. There's no reincarnation, no time travel, and no cheat codes. It's a female protagonist story; she comes from a military family and is exceptionally talented. This chosen one must diligently cultivate, as talent is merely the entry point, and what truly determines how far she goes is perseverance and hard work.
