When i read this story, and the many others like it, it makes me wonder what the authors were thinking. I imagine a women's meetup where they all decide to write a martial arts/romance story, and discuss what'll all be in it. "Lets all go with a reincarnation trope, its popular currently!" "Sure!" "Yeah!" "Okay!" "I love reincarnation stories! YES!" "So my FL is going to be an Alchemist!" "Oooh, mine'll be an Armament crafter!" "Mine's gonna be a poison specialist!" "Mine's gonna be able to tame spirit beasts!" "Mine'll be an Alchemist too! But she'll also have spirits that give her special powers and help her cultivate!" *collective excited squeeing* "Okay, now lets see, lets make her family rotten, this way it'll show our readers our beloved FL is strong and can take care of herself and trample on all opposition!" """"YEAH!!!"""" "But what about the ML? What'll he be like?" """"..."""" "How about very feminine in appearance?" """"Yes!!"""" "He should be confident, arrogant even!" "Yeah! And domineering!" "Oooooh, im liking him already! He should be royalty too! Someone so handsome should have high standing in society!" "And he should be forceful with the FL, claiming her as his whether she likes it or not! *gigglefits*" """"YISSSSS!!!! You are a genius!"""" "He should also have secrets! Maybe he's wounded and hiding from enemies, while posing as royalty!" "OR! He is Royalty, and is hiding from enemies wanting to wipe out his entire bloodline!" "PERFECT!" "You're so good at this!" "Hee hee, right?" And thus, we have 20+ carbon copies with essentially the same theme with small twists and changes...

XD To be fair, the male / male-audience-targeting authors do meet-ups like this too LMAO. Seriously, though, it's actually in Qidian's writer manual to carbon copy popular works. From what I've gathered, writing by numbers is the whole idea. I don't usually read long works whose endings I can't even see, but single-volume works like manga live off of tropes, and I for one don't mind bingeing them until I've had enough, then I try other stuff. I guess there are many who have longer patience out there ;P P.S. I just made this reply because I found your review very funny. Thanks for that

I gotta agree that the majority of the male leads in the female cultivation novels are really ****ty. Just as females find the women in male novels are badly portrayed, the males in female novels are often badly written. They just outright suck in some circumstances.

Omg 😂😂 I was scrolling the reviews for this novel because i wanted to have an idea if this will be in my cup of tea. I wanted to know if it's worth reading and i may say your review caught my attention. Thanks for the bit of info about the novel. I guess it's one of those that will frustrate me 👍😄

I'll be honest chapter one of your novel is pretty interesting. Keep going with it, take it out comment styles beta reading and make it a full blown novel. I'd read it. I actually wrote comments in the syle of a fairy tale or monologue kinda thing, based purely on the sect battles often found in the comment sections. EXP SECT is the villain of the whole Widian realm and enemy to all such as F5 Sect and XP CLAN Alike. Even the Heavenly Thumb clan and Command[R] Empire were severely hard by the EXP Sect.

yeah, so um, really f*cking cliche. Just when you think a story can’t get any more cliche, BOOM another one pops up. This story’s got: - The genius who died and then reincarnated into the body of a “trash” - the over-the-top descriptions Ex. Every time the ML enters the scene, there is always a sentence of two describing “his deep, devilish eyes, his seductive thin lips, chiseled features, yada yada.” Like we f*cking get it, the male leads got a hot bod, just shut up about it already. Ex. “Her body was voluptuous, her perfect figure complementing her ice cold features, her jade skin—-l like we f*ckijg get it already. - the constant use of the word “slut”, or for more variety, “cheap slut”, and “good-for-nothing”. Like holy f*cking **** I get tired of reading that every other sentence. It’s degrading. Demeaning. Unpleasant to read and to the eyes. Again, just shut the f*ck up already and hit up a thesaurus. - the male lead who’s interested in her for no reason other than “omG she’s such a cunning woman I think I’m falling in luuuuuurrrrrvvvv~~~” - oh yeah, the male lead also happens to be from some peerless background and has super high status, is powerful, etc etc. - the family of snakes - the despotic siblings who give her hate for no good reason other than the fact that the FL can’t cultivate and has poor potential. - the pay-to-win system where everything costs money and yeah, simply working hard will get you nowhere. Oh yeah, FL is only great because she’s got all these awesome techniques and limitless potential. Whoot whoot. - the unnecessary commentary from the “crowd” who always seem to have something to say. Albeit, a pathetic attempt to reach word count. - the use of regurgitated, redundant words, ex. “heaven defying” Oh, I could go on. Also, I read till like chapter 32 but since I ain’t letting this piece of sh*t stay in my library, the chapter count is 0. Count how many times I swore. Multiply that by 16379257 and that’s how pissed of I am and how done with these books.

Was it you that night?

On the eve of their wedding, Yan Changsheng brought back a girl and publicly called off the marriage. Only then did Shen Qinghe realize that Yan Changsheng was the crazy male lead from a book, and the girl was the irresistible female protagonist. As for her, she was just early cannon fodder fated to die, and her elder sister was the malevolent female supporting character whom everyone wanted to beat up. Tsk, the plot is just freaking ridiculous! After awakening, Shen Qinghe busied herself with cultivation, protecting her elder sister. Yet, unknowingly seizing the female protagonist's luck, she attracted several crazy male leads, each of them forcibly taking what they wanted from her. She thought Dongfang Wuya was relatively normal, but who knew he was crazier, actually seizing the position of Heavenly Emperor and then forcibly marrying her to become the Heavenly Empress! ** As the high and mighty belle of the cultivation world, Dongfang Wuya had countless admirers and fans. Yet he was devoted to cultivation, treating love as if it were dirt. Initially thinking Shen Qinghe was deeply in love with him, he sternly advised her, "Focus on your cultivation, do not get distracted by romantic entanglements!" Later, irked by her dedication to cultivation, he pressed her into his arms and kissed her, seductively coaxing with a playful smile, "Be my Daoist companion, and I'll aid you in cultivation, hmm?"

Now, stuck with a nature-reviving system in a world full of poisonous gases and intergalactic stuff where she has to start from the very beginning and plant more forest and crops while creating a liveable world for the humans, Mo Qiang was suffering. But it sounds easy right? No! In her path she has three villainous husbands, all three of them want to kill her such that they will be able to marry her capable sister after kicking her away who was trashy and good for nothing.

Hello, you all wanted to marry her sister right? Excerpt: “ Here you go,” said Mo Qiang as she pushed the divorce agreement looking at her first husband who was gentle but poisonous like a snake. “ I have already signed the document of our divorce, you can take a look —-wait, why are you taking your clothes off?” The mer looked at her and smiled gently as he took off his glasses and said, “ Looks like my wife is not happy with me not giving birth to our child, don’t worry I will work hard tonight.” Mo Qiang: “…..” I do not want you to work hard! Take second! “ Take this and sign it,” said Mo Qiang, this time more fiercely as she looked at her second husband who was reading a script for his film. “ I am sure you want to divorce me right? I have already signed —-woah! What are you putting me on the bed for?” She asked while looking at the gorgeous face. Her second husband stared down at her and with a blank expression and voice as cold as water said, “ I have to practice a love-making scene, help me, dear wife.” Mo Qiang: “……” This movie that you are shooting is based on the Zerg apocalypse, don’t lie to me! With whom are you going to make love with? A Zerg? Take third! “ Huff, huff..this is the divorce agreement, sign it...

A second later she heard his sniffling voice while he peppered kisses on her neck, “ Wife you do not want me? Is that the new idol who attracted your attention, I knew it! I will take care of him!” “Put down that knife will you!” And why is the third prince of the imperial family who hated her to the bones coming after her with flowers?
