   This one fits the bill perfectly. The female lead is the head of a Xuanmen sect who failed her tribulation and accidentally entered the Endless Land. She spends hundreds of years there before emerging to rebuild her physical body, only to find that all her pet spirit beasts have run away. The story follows her as she searches for them one by one. The female lead is practically invincible in the early stages and becomes even stronger later. It's a heartwarming and silly story, and importantly, the author put a lot of effort into it; they even commissioned artists to draw portraits of all the spirit beasts and include them in the story. Highly recommended!

    These two books are incredibly good. The first one has no romantic pairing, but the pacing is fast, and the female lead is both silly and incredibly powerful. There are also male supporting characters, but despite the presence of a male lead and second male lead, the female lead reigns supreme. They only see her as a goddess (since they can't actually beat her). It's a female-centric story, and the more you read, the more addictive it becomes. I don't know how the author came up with this plot; it's super good!!! The second book has a romantic pairing, but their relationship isn't the artificial kind of sweet romance. It's more like they complement each other. The female lead is always in the lead, and the male lead follows her every word. He immediately obeys her every command. While she's out hunting ghosts and building her career, he's in the background, using his own luck to nourish the magical artifacts she uses. When they touch the same object, they can hear each other's thoughts, which is why the female lead loves to pretend to be a genius. Some scenes are hilarious!!!
