    I only remember the general plot of the first book. There were two things that surprised me: the female lead was actually a clone created by her mother; she had lost contact with her original planet; her mother later awakened another clone; and the body she later entered belonged to a princess from the largest planet who had disappeared. Because the female lead possessed strong purification abilities, her parents needed this ability, so they used their remaining tissue to clone another version of her. That's all I remember. It has no romantic pairing, is complete, and is worth reading.

I gave it 4 points because there are some flaws, but they're not too bad, and most are acceptable. There is a male lead, but he doesn't have much screen time. The male and female leads are both strong. If you're interested, you can check it out, but I suggest not writing any paragraph reviews, as it affects me a bit (I'm fickle).
