This book is also known as Dragon Girl and The Road to Ascension.
Hong Ling is a rare red dragon, gifted beyond compare, a true "Chosen One." Born of heaven and earth, she has wanted to become the greatest in all the world ever since she took human form. Her eyes are fixed only on cultivation, and she treats it as her very life.
"Love makes heroes lose their nerve." Hong Ling has never given romance a thought, but she believes the saying is right. Falling in love would interfere with her cultivation. You can't have both love and a career.
She never expected to run into the little brat she'd met ten years ago during an accidental trip to the mortal realm. That little brat had grown into a handsome man.
Gradually, she began to feel that the way he looked at her was a little strange.
"You like me!" Hong Ling strode up to him and declared. It wasn't a question, and she left no room for doubt.
You can't have your cake and eat it too... Who says? The irresistible truth is that only children have to choose. The strong get to have both!
What should I do when I can't choose between my crush and my career? Kiss them both!
For Hong Ling, cultivation is indispensable! A man is essential!
Meanwhile, our male guest, still completely clueless, has just cried himself unconscious in the bathroom and woken up again. Now he's frantically searching on his phone: What should I do when the person I have a crush on only cares about advancing on the path of cultivation?
Gentle, unrequited-love male lead × ambitious female lead who casually falls in love while building her career
A few things to note:
1. Ensemble cast, with the plot and romance getting equal focus. Contains original worldbuilding, so read with care.
2. The leads won't confess their feelings to each other right away. One-on-one romance.
3. The female lead starts out a little overpowered, but her strength won't increase too quickly. She grows gradually and eventually becomes the strongest character in the book.
4. The leads complement each other. The female lead is more proactive, while the male lead is more passive and gentle. Comments and bookmarks are welcome.
Theme: Stay true to yourself, grow stronger through setbacks, and never give up.
