    Highly recommended! "My Junior Sister is Clearly Super Strong but Excessively Silly" had me laughing so hard I almost fell over. Can the cultivation world really be this hilarious? This novel, "My Junior Sister is Clearly Super Strong but Excessively Silly," does it! Humble working-class Ye Qiao transmigrates into a novel, becoming the second senior sister, a tool in a popular story, exploited and manipulated by the original female lead and various supporting characters. Realizing the situation, Ye Qiao decisively runs away and joins the Changming Sect. The senior disciples of the new sect each possess a tragic fate: the world-weary eldest disciple is a lovesick simp, the genius second disciple suffers from inner demons due to his inability to break through realms, the backup third disciple is drained of his value by providing pills for the female lead, and the sword-wielding fourth disciple sacrifices his cultivation and destroys his Dao heart for the female lead… Ye Qiao decides to unleash her goofy side, rewriting the fates of her senior disciples with various "outrageous actions": she drags the eldest disciple into a team-building activity, helping him rediscover the joy of life; she teaches the second disciple the philosophy of "giving up," helping him overcome his inner demons; she persuades the third disciple to focus on alchemy and stay away from romantic fantasies; and she imparts the secret technique of "without women in one's heart, one's sword will naturally be divine," helping the fourth disciple concentrate on the Dao of Swords. With Ye Qiao's efforts, the senior disciples escape their original fates, and the Changming Sect becomes chaotic yet full of vitality. Ye Qiao, with her strength and unique charm, became the darling of the sect, and her cultivation journey was filled with unexpected and hilarious events. This novel perfectly blends cultivation and hilarious daily life, featuring both thrilling battles and laugh-out-loud moments. Ye Qiao's imagination and actions are simply amazing. For example, to avoid being pressured to get married, she lied that she was a "cursed lone star," and the entire sect believed her, even helping her fool others, much to their amusement. All the characters are vividly portrayed, with no female rivalry, and each character undergoes their own growth and transformation, creating a wonderfully diverse ensemble cast. Whether you enjoy a lighthearted and humorous writing style or are a fan of cultivation novels, you can't miss this gem of a novel!

    "Mengmeng, come here!" Jian Yuanxin leaned back on the leather sofa, her red lips slightly parted, her voice as sweet as melting honey. The small figure in the corner flinched, its surprisingly large eyes looking over timidly, but it didn't move. Jian Yuanxin narrowed her eyes, her fingertips tapping lightly on the sofa armrest, each tap like the tolling of a countdown clock. "Should I count to three?" Her voice remained gentle, but a cold glint flashed in her eyes. Mengmeng finally moved, taking unsteady little steps, slowly walking towards Jian Yuanxin. The child's thin body was wrapped in a pink dress that was clearly a size too big, and there were several suspicious bruises on her exposed arms. "That's a good girl." Jian Yuanxin reached out and pinched Mengmeng's chin, her nails almost digging into the delicate skin. "Today is the day your father comes home. Do you know what to do?" Mengmeng blinked, her long eyelashes fluttering like startled butterfly wings. "I... I know... I should say that Mom is very good to me..." "Smart." Jian Yuanxin released her hand, pulled a wet wipe from the coffee table, and wiped her fingers as if she had touched something dirty. "Go change your clothes. This one is too ugly." She watched Mengmeng stagger towards the stairs, a hint of disgust flashing in her eyes. This child—Gu Yebai's child with that bitch—was the only stain on her perfect life. For six years, she had schemed and plotted to make Ling Luoxin leave, finally marrying into the Gu family, only to be forced to face this living proof. Jian Yuanxin stood up and walked to the French windows. Outside the window was the meticulously manicured garden of the Gu family mansion, the fountain shimmering dazzlingly in the sunlight. Her fingers unconsciously traced her flat stomach—if she could give birth to the Gu family's heir, that little bastard would have disappeared long ago. A muffled thud came from upstairs, followed by suppressed sobs. Jian Yuanxin sneered, showing no intention of going up to check. As long as she didn't leave any obvious marks, Gu Yebai would never know. Her husband, the young and promising president of the Gu Group, rarely came home each month. Even when he did, he was always distant and polite, as if their marriage was merely a business arrangement. Jian Yuanxin knew that he still harbored feelings for the woman who had left six years ago—Ling Luoxin. "Madam, the driver is ready," the butler reported respectfully at the door. Jian Yuanxin turned gracefully: "Tell Mengmeng we'll leave in five minutes. We're going to pick up Mr.." In the mall, Ling Luoxin stood in front of the perfume counter, absentmindedly smelling the new fragrances. Six years had passed; she had finally mustered the courage to return to this city. Her Paris studio was now on track, and this trip back to China was to open a branch. "This is our newly launched 'Memories' series. The top notes are mandarin and bergamot, the middle notes..." The sales assistant enthusiastically introduced. Ling Luoxin nodded politely, but her thoughts drifted far away. Six years ago, on that rainy night, she witnessed Gu Yebai and Jian Yuanxin in a hotel room, and the pregnancy test report that Jian Yuanxin "accidentally" left in her office... She touched the long-gone ring mark on her ring finger, forcing herself back to reality. "Just..."

    These are absolutely the best female-centric novels I've read on Tomato. I highly recommend the first one; even my sister loved it. The protagonist is strong, the plot is engaging, and there are lots of funny moments. I read the second one a while ago and was immediately hooked. It was practically my introduction to female-centric novels—super satisfying, and the plot is good too, not just mindless face-slapping. The third one is also great; I think it's similar in style to the first one. If you like the first one, this one is a good choice too.
