   This book is arguably my number one favorite female-oriented novel on Tomato Reading. It has a grand scale, with each event meticulously planned and interconnected. The romantic relationship between the male and female leads isn't overtly defined; it feels more like a spiritual connection. Unless you read to the end or hear from others, you won't really feel like he's the male lead. There isn't much of a romantic subplot, so even those who don't want a specific couple can read it without worry. Honestly, I wouldn't have known there was a male lead if I hadn't heard from others. The friendships and family bonds within the sect are also handled very well. Everyone has their imperfections, and there aren't any truly villainous characters. The character that left me most heartbroken was Wen Fu. He was ultimately affected. His intentions were good, but how could someone who once sat high above the clouds bear to fall into the mire? He thought he was saving their lives, but wasn't he also pushing them into another abyss? If it weren't for that incident, he and his junior uncle would probably have been very close friends.

   Highly recommend the first book: A lighthearted, funny, and entertaining read with a female-friendly theme; don't overthink it! The female lead is quick to settle scores without hesitation. The mother-daughter relationship is strong; they are each other's most important person. The second book: The system only plays a supporting role; the female lead relies entirely on her own efforts—ten or even a hundred times harder than others—it's incredibly inspiring. It's not the kind of book where she's overpowered; she's just more hardworking than the average person. The third book: By a new author, the writing is quite good, and the theme is fresh.

    Both of these are strong female lead novels. ① This one features a strong female protagonist with smooth writing and a fast-paced plot. Yin Nian's talents are stolen by her family, but she is later rescued, slays her enemies, adopts adorable pets, and learns medicine and poison-making. She is brave, resourceful, intelligent, resolute, and fiercely protective of her own. The cultivation world is turned upside down because of her! Highly recommended. ② The female lead transmigrates into the body of the real heiress in a novel about real and fake heiresses. Unloved by her family, she decisively leaves. She is proficient in fortune-telling and ghost-catching, and handles metaphysics with ease. After becoming a viral sensation online, her family tries to capitalize on her fame, only to have their fortunes collapse that very day. The female lead is very powerful, never procrastinates, and is both cool and beautiful. Worth reading.
