   I'm not sure if this counts as female-centric, but the male lead has a very strong presence. The female lead is adorable, a spoiled crybaby, but also a strong and capable archer, hahaha.

   It's good, but it's still ongoing. However, the updates are very consistent, basically daily, but it's still not enough! The female lead is a weasel, so there's probably no romantic pairing.

   It's hard to believe this book is from 2014. The female lead is incredibly charismatic and strong; you'll fall in love with her along with the supporting characters, haha. There's also a male lead, who is beautiful and virtuous.

    I've read it many times. It's a very long novel. The female protagonist climbs the social ladder step by step from an ordinary person, witnessing the changing times, the departure of old friends, and the arrival of new ones. Those who walk the same path are always different, and every time the female protagonist turns the tide, it gives me goosebumps. There is a male protagonist, but he doesn't appear very often, not even as many as the sword cultivator.

    Curator note

    The beginning is great, but it gets a bit weak towards the end; I'll skip the boring parts. However, the beginning is absolutely fantastic. It tells the story of an undisciplined, intelligent, and strong female protagonist who climbs her way up from the bottom. Although she's disguised as a man, she always remembers who she is. There's no romantic pairing.
