   This novel perfectly matches your needs. The female lead is exceptionally well-developed. It's a true independent and self-reliant female protagonist story; she's always clear-headed, and while she makes sacrifices for the sake of life and death, she never abandons her goals. What's remarkable is that, although it's a transmigration novel, I prefer this one because the female lead is a heretical cultivator, but she never lets love, hate, or obsession slow down her progress towards strength. I highly recommend you read this; I've read it at least ten times. You really need to experience the content for yourself to understand if I'm right, so I haven't provided any detailed synopsis.

There are no misunderstandings or those annoying "green tea" characters. Many of the supporting characters are also quite interesting.

    The male lead is a Taoist priest who becomes connected with the female lead because they can find what they both desire (and live under the same roof). The female lead's abilities are similar to those of an ordinary person, so the male lead always protects her. The two encounter various supernatural events, all of which are interesting, and the author fills in the plot holes, making the overall logic very clear. There is a romantic subplot; the male lead falls for the female lead first, and they have a somewhat bickering relationship, with hilarious arguments. Later, they get a cat, and their interactions with the cat become even funnier. Overall, it's quite good and I recommend it.
