   The female protagonist of this book is a rogue cultivator with a villainous character. She climbs her way up from among mortals step by step. She's not a good person, doesn't meddle in other people's business, is decisive in killing, fights if she can win, and runs away if she can't, never leaving any hidden dangers for herself! Although there may be a male protagonist, so far the romance plot is very small, almost non-existent.

   This is an ensemble piece; the female lead is a time traveler who takes in six villainous disciples. She's incredibly powerful, possessing a formidable disguise, never suffering a loss, and is very clever, enjoying outsmarting others. The storylines involving the female lead and her sect are exceptionally well-written.
