This Immortal Maiden Is a Little Too Cunning 这个仙子有点茶
Ying Hui had only just transmigrated when she discovered she’d transmigrated again. Thankfully, the stone bead proved she could still travel back. Both were worlds of immortal cultivation, but the Yaoze Cultivation Realm was rich in spiritual energy and carpeted with spirit herbs. For Ying Hui, who was used to scraping by, it was like a mouse falling into a rice jar. She was so happy she hardly knew which way was up, and galloped down the road to ascension.

Transformed into a Girl Who's Happy to Be a Slacker 变身咸鱼少女
Oh, give me a break. Why are you still talking to me about dreams? The average subscriptions have already passed three thousand, so updating the novel with one chapter a day is enough, right? Why write so much more? The manuscript fee is already five hundred yuan per page, so updating one comic episode a month is perfectly fine, right? Why produce so much more? A livestream already brings in several thousand yuan in tips per hour, and cosplay can double that, so streaming for half an hour is eno

The characters’ values do not represent the author’s. Some of the Taoist spells in this story come from online sources, and some are made up by me. No romance. If any chapters

[Mostly Female-Oriented] Fun, Feel-Good, and Satisfying Xianxia Reads
The books on this list either have great plots, excellent writing, or are especially satisfying, with the protagonist crushing everyone in their path! I don't like stories that read like a diary, especially boring ones that make me lose interest. Some books I like may be amateurish, sure, but if the plot is fun, they're worth a read. Of course, my recommendations are all based on my personal taste. I also can't stand pretentious writing. The plot is mediocre, but the author piles on fancy words
Great Ongoing Novels with Female Leads
Please add this list to your favorites, and send flowers. This list was originally meant to round up good female-lead stories from 2018, but many of the ongoing novels have since finished, so I moved them to genre lists or my main list. These days, it’s mostly for ongoing stories I like. I’m especially fond of historical romance, quick transmigration, and apocalypse stories.
