I'm trying to find any decent novels without all the exaggerated drama and unbelieveable golden fingers. Something that has a low key mc who works for what she has like 'to be a virtous wife' or 'transmigrator meets Reincarnator' and the like.
I don't know if it'll correspond to what you're looking for, but I'm currently reading: https://www.novelupdates.com/series/ascending-do-not-disturb/ It's by the author of To Be A Virtuous Wife and Eight Treasures Trousseau, and I find it very refreshing for a cultivation story. In this novel, cultivators have brain and are not always trying to rob other of their treasures and the like. The female MC is very likable, same goes for ML. The main difference with TBAVW is that there are no deep political plot, it's a relaxing novel. But since I happen to be reading it with great pleasure and I happen to see your message, I decide to mention it.
Loved this story a lot. Totally hilarious and amusing with a lot of emotional growth and cute scenes b/w the protags
