A Cozy Corner for Female-Protagonist Novels
This list recommends novels with female protagonists. I'm a yuri fan, so I won't accept stories where the heroine marries a man 🙅. If any story on the list seems to be heading that way, please let me know. I'll update and prune this list from time to time. Feel free to recommend female-lead novels in the comments, but please don'tヽ(≧Д≦)ノ post copy-pasted ads.

So why emphasize that she is a woman? It's as if those powerful female rulers in the martial arts world are fake. This kind of title is completely unsuitable for male-oriented content!
It's awful. The later parts are frustrating and toxic. The female lead is kidnapped by a lecherous thief and then subjected to cold stares and mockery from a general and a Taoist priest. Then an empress dowager suddenly appears, and the female lead, driven by lust, obeys the empress dowager's every word. She's supposed to be an assassin, but she's portrayed as some kind of innocent, naive fool.
Already poisoned
I'm too lazy to even talk about the different levels of mastery. There's no such thing as a hierarchy of gods and immortals. It's just a matter of expert - first-class expert - top expert - supreme expert - unparalleled grandmaster. The combat power has also remained unchanged.
Sure, it's better than those two books that make you happy all day long by practicing useless pill refining and those that make you play at cultivating immortality.
The beginning of this book was alright, but the rest was a complete mess.
An entire palace can't even hold off a top-tier expert? How can an emperor rule with peace of mind? This female lead has a bit of a saintly heart; she'll fight anyone for a little medicine. With her cheat-like abilities, why doesn't she just quietly develop her power, build her own forces, and easily acquire money and medicine?
Having followed this far, I feel compelled to say something: You are Liu Qi! Not some Xu family girl. You were easily swayed by Lady Zhou's persuasion and became hesitant, weren't you? Cheng Ran's body belongs to a woman from the Xu family, but the protagonist himself has absolutely no connection to the Xu family.
The protagonist's actions seem to lack purpose and planning; he just keeps hacking and slashing.
I believe the protagonist needs to consider three main issues: first, where can they find protection if they suddenly fall out with the organization; second, how to acquire superior martial arts techniques; and third, investigating the organization's true nature and understanding the various factions within it. The first point seems to be something the protagonist hasn't considered.
It doesn't look as good as it did at the beginning.
I feel the recent transitional chapters have become mediocre, and the quality has dropped significantly. The early chapters were well-written, but I don't know why, as they progressed, they started to deviate from the style of the old man who sharpened his knife, and then they became less engaging. After the events in the capital, the quality declined even more drastically.
Author, if you don't end the Xu family story within five chapters, then basically no one will read your novel.
