    Sorry, I really couldn't find any that perfectly match 🤦. The first one is a female-centric novel, very good, and it's already getting a TV adaptation; the second one has a female lead without a romantic partner, and the main characters have a lot of chemistry 😏; the third one has a male lead who cultivates immortality, but he always likes to transform into a young girl, has great "tea-art" skills, and can barely be considered a female lead 😏; the fourth one is also a cultivation novel, like a hybrid of male and female leads, in the early stages the male lead kills and the female lead reasones, in the later stages the female lead kills and the male lead reasones 😏
