If the person trying to sell the tag describes it as "wuxia but with a female protagonist" let's just tag all of them "wuxia" and call it a win for gender equality

Or change the tag to "wuxia/xianxia"

@lethal09 xianxia is like wuxia yes,but it does not necessarily focuses on a female protagonist
see wuxia mainly focus on martial arts(wu) (and ofcourse cultivation)
but xianxia on otherhand focus only on cultivation on immortal(xian)
simply put..
wuxia covers most of mangas that are not only chinese for example in korean(mangadex.org/title/59692/i-m-a-martial-art-villainess-but-i-m-the-strongest) or in japanese(mangadex.org/title/3132/dragon-ball)
but xianxia is exclusive to chinese immortal cutivation
so it is more effort than worth to add a tag that does virtually nothing

And
What is wuxia?
Wuxia is made from two characters; ‘Wu’ and ‘Xia’, which literally mean ‘martial hero’

What is xianxia?
...for Xianxia, the characters forming it are ‘Xian’ and ‘Xia’, which literally means ‘immortal hero’

Wuxia- stuff like crouching tiger hidden dragons, hero basically high martial skills but very little magic,

Xianxia - sword sheathe’s child, dragonball, reverend insanity,
Chronicles of heavenly demon, tales of demons and gods, Harry potter(by the skin of his teeth)
