- 1 After Becoming a Frail Cultivator 成为病弱女修后 Before I began cultivating immortality, everyone said I wouldn’t live past sixteen. After I started, they all waited for me to die at the first stage of Qi Refining. This frail little cultivator initially wanted only to stay alive. Then she wanted to live even better, trampling over her enemies’ bones as she climbed step by step toward the heavens! P.S. No romance. Plot-focused and career-focused. I recommend my completed novel, “A Guide to Cultivating Immortality as a Cannon Fodder.” I think it 0Votes84.9kRecs226.9kFans
- 2 A Cold Gaze, Beyond Reach 仙子不想理你 Bai Mengjin was the female demon who plagued the entire cultivation world for over a thousand years, leaving everyone with a bitter taste in their mouth until the day she died. When she unexpectedly returned to her youth, she suddenly decided she no longer wanted to be a demon. In such a sanctimonious cultivation world, surely there’s room for a sweet-talking fairy like her, right? There is a male lead and romance, but no power-leveling plot.

I yearn to roam freely between heaven and earth, seeking the Way and eternal life, at ease. The sun and moon endure for countless ages, while heaven and earth remain vast and the Way seems empty. I gaze upon the myriad affairs of this mortal world, and find only the immortals carefree and without worry. I ask the Great Way of heaven and earth: where lies eternal life, and where is home? Of the three thousand Ways, I stand at the peak!

- 5 She Became a Sword Cultivator 她是剑修 “You gaze beyond the heavens of three thousand worlds. Where is there a place I can go, and where is there not?” Unconcerned with love and delusion, seeking neither transcendence nor immortality, Zhao Chun has wanted one thing ever since the moment she first wielded her sword: to walk the path no one has ever walked before, her own path. A slow-burn cultivation novel told from the perspective of a female lead, with no romance. The protagonist is not an outright paragon of virtue, and her moral s 116Votes851.8kRecs562.4kFans

It wasn’t until she ascended to the Immortal Realm that she realized she’d got it wrong. Perhaps she was the Heavenly Dao’s own daughter? 0Votes11.4kRecs9.8kFans

A Binge-Worthy List of Smart, Stunning Female Leads
A picky reader A bookworm of over ten years I have very strong personal reading preferences. A book doesn’t have to be pure wish fulfillment, but the logic and characters’ intelligence need to hold up! Sometimes I do enjoy pure wish-fulfillment fiction: so engrossing that I’m swept along by the pacing, with no need to think. All that matters is the satisfying rush. I still favor beautiful female protagonists who are self-reliant and smart. [Mostly xianxia and xuanhuan with no male lead] [A few h
