   I'm recommending a no-romance interstellar novel. The female lead's love-obsessed persona is an act; she's actually a funny, tough-talking girl. She initially joined military school to complete a mission, but ended up becoming a dark horse in the industry. She's focused entirely on her career, making for a very enjoyable read. Highly recommended!

   All are non-CP (no romantic pairing). The strong female lead is obvious from the cover and title; they're straightforward and easy to understand. They're either strong female leads or cute little girls, and both are very enjoyable. Books 1 and 3 are by the same author, who also wrote a book about an empress dowager that made him a legend, and I've been a fan ever since. Book 2 is by our beloved Ye Tuantuan—super cute, adorable, and incredibly cool when fighting! She plays dumb in the early stages, then has a love-hate relationship with her father, Ye Jiu (ranked ninth among princes), which isn't really a story of fighting and bickering. Later, Tuantuan and the Ninth Prince form a powerful alliance (actually, she's the darling of her father's heart (♡˙˙♡) Empress version). I won't say more. Book 18 is similar in theme to 2, but it has its own unique charm. Jiang An is "trapped" in her fiefdom because her father kept a promise. In the early stages, Jiang An also plays dumb, then shows her abilities and gains popular support. Later, she leads the royal army all the way to the capital to purge the court of corrupt officials! So cool! She has the guts to be an empress, but An'an has a better place to develop her talents, so in the end, her father became the empress, hehe. 4. I'm a bit eccentric and outrageous, a bit unreliable and a bit crazy, the spiritual leader of the anti-heroic sect, Xie Qing! Super good-looking and touching (a little bit), I laughed. After reading it, my mental state was elevated. 9. Similar to 4, both are ensemble pieces, but the difference is that our Ye Qiaoqiao is a bit reliable despite her eccentricities. She and the sect leaders around her are like-minded, no, they became friends after a fight. The dog's cheeky nature was well-influenced, and her cultivation path is quite anti-heroic? ... Unpredictable and surprising (scary) at crucial moments. These books left a deep impression on me, they were all quite good!! 11. I also have a deep impression because the female lead is really a bit eccentric and a complete idiot to the sect. The deepest impression is the word "idiot". Just read it and you're done!! Awesome.
