It occurred to me just now that I've never seen a Xianxia story with wlw protagonists, just straight or mlm. Well, not outside of fanfiction anyways. If anyone knows of any stories like that, please let me know. (Nothing fetish-y, thank you.)
Female Protagonist is a Blackened Villainess My Disciple Wants to Tease Me Every Day My Disciple Consumes Too Much Mistress, I Was Wrong
There's a lot of them, do you want specific xianxia or maybe Quick Transmigration with Xianxia as one of world? If Xianxia, what specific tropes you want? So far usually the couple is Master x Disciple and Righteous Cultivator x Devil Cultivator
This is my ultimate favorite title, as for others I'll have to look up the genre, still a bit busy so I'll drop the best 《师姐说她非我不娶》by：梦里呓语 Master Sister said we are married This is pure goodness. You got Xianxia and Mystery solving in one package, as well as rebirth and revenge. The mystery is really good. Mc is a martial arts waste, despite being the head of a (women only?) Sect. Fl is a cold deputy head of the sect, the master sister. Mc has 4 guardian each has season themed name and title. Basically mc who is killed in the last life, rebirth on the day before her future betrothed is fixed. She asked fl to beat the scum woman (yep mc married to a woman) and win the competition, mc promised fl anything. Fl is genius best at swordmanship while mc is a waste... But that's because she hasn't find the right weapon. Mc with her right weapon is super cool, so heart throbbing. Basically mc and fl will journey for the weapon and solving problems. This is very nice, the interaction between characters are very vivid. Also lol I remembered mc went to emei (neighbor women only sect) and think she's like emperor with thousands beauties (although she has her own women only sect, too!). End game mc and fl are both strong, its a super great story about mc growth. And the mystery is incredible.
There is a cute f/f story that is called "night flowers shirking from the light of the sun" which is not a cnovel, it was originally written in English, but it is xianxia and based on all the cultivator cnovel tropes, you might enjoy that. (Kinda short, it's only 30 chapters.) I can't link to it but it's on archiveofourown if you search for that title. If you don't mind reading something where the english translation is still a WIP i also like the novels The Beauty's Blade (i think the tl for this one will finish fairly soon) and The Witch Nichang
This one, I'm not sure if it fits xianxia. Anyway later fl teach mc how to cultivate but her talent... Is bad. Mc has immortal bone so she can become immortal, in theory. 山神的天降娇妻 by 镂玉裁冰 Mountain Goddess' Heavenly Wife Mc.. Is a human with immortal destiny. Fl is mountain god Mc is sacrificed to be fl bride
Oh hey, I just started translating After the Full-Level Boss is Reborn and it's a great xianxia novel if you want to read that. It's Master x Disciple, but it's a bit special cause of weird time stuff and both of them being reborn at different time periods and different ages of their first death.
大师姐她没有心[穿书] by 也算逍遥 Master sister, she is heartless So... Yeah. Basically mc is a book wearer, she got into a book she read casually. Standard xianxia, and mc has my favorite xianxia weapon, which is a musical instrument (the Du Yunge one mc also has non standard weapon which I like) Fl... Identity is a bit special. Basically fun standard xianxia, but the romance is a bit lacking, focusing on adventure.
This one has condition which make me remember she's the protagonist 大师姐她人设崩了[穿书] Master Sister, she has collapsed Somehow mc is awakened and she realized she's in book world, her role is vicious villainess and the heroine is the master sister whom she hated. Poor fl, mc is hostile to her at beginning before mc warms up
师姐总在阻止我成为反派 Senior Sister always prevents me from becoming a villainess This one, mc is transmigrated into a villainess but the senior sister always prevents her to be one
Oh my god- lets all be honest..emperor xiao wen-tian carried this thread. All hail the glorious person who sits in the holy yuri throne! Anywayss my reccomendations are; -After the Full-Level Boss is Reborn -My Disciple Consumes Too Much -I Became Love Rivals With My Crush -Transmigrated Into a Smashing Asura Girl -The Price of Confessing To The Wrong Female Protagonist -Mistress, I Want It~ {Non smut^} -Ah, Senior Brother is Actually a Sister! {Smut^}
Dude I have looked everywhere but still couldn't find this, nor your other recommendations. Where do you read these?
Transmigrated as a Fake Daughter in Cultivation Novel The Eldest Martial Sister Gave Up Treatment Some original English novels: Reincarnated as a Jade Beauty?! (gender bender) Rise Of The Ice Empress [Gl] Legend Of Yuki: The Wrath Of The Tailed Asura Fates Parallel (stubbed for Kindle Unlimited) Not in a xianxia world, but The Spider Queen is a space opera/futuristic cultivation world. You may also be interested in The Heavenly Martial Empress Returns: An OP Xianxia Returnee LitRPG which has xianxia/cultivation elements since the protagonist was isekai'd to a xianxia world and then returns to a post-apocalyptic Earth.
