    I just finished reading it, and it's truly amazing! It's a female-centric story; the female lead is born into a patriarchal era. She's a pawn in a scheme to seize power, but her strength is undeniable. She possesses the qualities and methods of an emperor. Men and emotions are merely spice in her life; only power is eternal. The female lead is a well-developed character, not just one of ruthlessness and gentleness. She has the decisiveness of an emperor, yet also the benevolence of loving her people. Although she'll stop at nothing to get the throne, she also possesses a human compassion. It's really, really amazing!

    The first three books are by the same author, with a seasoned writing style and insightful descriptions of human nature. They often contain thought-provoking lines. Each book is only about 100 chapters long, very concise. The titles are somewhat suggestive, but the content is fresh – I can guarantee that with over 2000 hours of reading experience. I highly recommend the first book; you'll never guess what's going to happen next. The first few chapters are a bit scary. The female lead is a very strong woman who always believes in herself. There are many brilliant metaphors; reading it will leave you feeling refreshed. The second book features a female lead who has experienced 100 transmigration systems, possessing 100 skill points, charm, and intelligence, but she doesn't invest in anything else – just pure martial arts. In a chaotic world, she initially makes a living by blacksmithing and chopping wood, but in this turbulent era, everyone around her struggles to survive with resilience. The author is very talented, often using dark humor to depict the suffering of ordinary people. It's lighthearted yet deeply moving. The female lead's personality and martial arts prowess are major highlights, making for a very enjoyable read. The third book features a female protagonist who is very self-centered and adept at finding her own interests. Unlike typical domestic power struggles, she's outmaneuvering men; none of them can outsmart her. She's incredibly intelligent. There's a male lead, but I'm indifferent to him. The last book is also a female-centric, feel-good story, but I haven't finished it yet.

    The first book, don't be misled by the title, is a micro-group portrait of post-apocalyptic cultivation, it's really good, and the author has a touch of humor (planning a second read). The second book doesn't follow the traditional cultivation formula. The third book, the female lead's daily life of alchemy and her interactions with her family, is quite good. The fourth book, quick transmigration, I really like, I love the male lead's well-developed character and no out-of-character moments (planning a second read). All these books have one drawback: you might find the beginning difficult to get into, you need to read slowly.
