She had only just managed to survive, but her cultivation was badly damaged, and she couldn’t remember a thing about her past. She searched through her belongings. The only thing worth even a little money was a sword that looked like a piece of scrap metal. I must have been a pretty useless swor 144.4kFavorites147.1kClicks/ch193.7kGifts

Don't spend your whole life in the fields like us.” Zhao Linong did it.

First, help me conquer Hollywood! * The author's knowledge of the entertainment industry at home and abroad comes entirely from reading various reports. In other words, this is mostly wish fulfillment, so please don't take it seriously. * For the sake of the plot, the female lead will of course date someone, but this isn't a [redacted] novel, and her romantic interests will mostly be original characters. * As the title suggests, there will be plenty of scheming 136.8kFavorites267.2kClicks/ch84.1kGifts

7. 7 专 My Specialty Is Stealing the Show (Quick Transmigration) 专职加戏的我（快穿） Boundless Sky, Peerless长空无双Romance3.5M WordsOngoing The story of a future powerhouse who gains eternal life in an infinite world. The main plot follows the protagonist as she rises from a newcomer instance to become the ruler. There are no pairings across the reincarnation cycles, though some individual worlds have male leads. Warnings 1. Plot-driven. The young lady has no feelings and is ruthlessly cruel as a matter of course. 2. Infinite-flow story. Though it's labeled Quick Transmigration... everyone knows it's actually slow transmigration 18.5kFavorites47.3kClicks/ch57.6kGifts

   Curator note

   Slow-paced time travel, featuring a very insightful and intelligent female protagonist who surpasses expectations in various worlds. This is my favorite type of story, highly recommended. The downside: the beginning is packed with information about the different worlds and focuses heavily on the protagonist's appearance, which some readers might find difficult to follow. However, if you can tolerate that, it's truly captivating.

    It's a cultivation-themed story with a strong female protagonist, and it's a really good novel. But the author abandoned it later on, then tried to fill in the gaps with a terrible ending, which is really frustrating.
