   ① Qiao Mu had always thought Lu Cheng, who held the "little black ledger," was somewhat sinister and terrifying, but seeing his wet eyes and confused expression, she felt he was a pitiful little thing. ② There was a small basin she specially placed in the woodshed. The cat that used to hunt for the big tabby cat wasn't afraid to put things in the kitchen when it was home. It's common knowledge. Cats have to work the night shift. The mice at night can only be used as midnight snacks for the cat. ③ Little Bashe heard the cub's words and thought it made sense, but he still replied, "Then I'll remember this for now. We'll beat him up later when we're more familiar with this place." Zhu Xiaomeng was afraid this little beast would cause something she couldn't control, so she quickly agreed, "Okay! Okay! We'll remember it. If anyone laughs at us later, we'll remember them too, and settle the score slowly later." Zhu Xiaomeng already knew that her outfit would definitely be ridiculed, so she gave Little Bashe a heads-up. Upon hearing the cub's words, the little snake conjured a small notebook in his hand and wrote down three big characters: "Money Galore." And so, the chubby little Money Galore gloriously became the first person the little snake wanted to beat up upon arriving in the cultivation world.

    All of these are about female protagonists cultivating immortality, which is somewhat related to the original poster's requirements. However, they don't perfectly fit the requirements. The first one is a quick transmigration novel with a system, but its function is minimal; it's about the female protagonist's independent and self-reliant cultivation. The second one features a female protagonist who is always a nobody, making it very realistic; it's highly recommended. The third one is quite funny, the kind where arguing gets you a reward, focusing on being a contrarian. The fourth one is reasonably readable.
