Looking for books similar to With the Esteemed Minister System in Hand, I Disguise Myself as a Man in Ancient Times. Are there any stories with strong female leads?

I'm so looking forward to the male lead falling in love with the female lead! Hahahaha! Male protagonist (original): A wife who is as close as a guest is quite nice. Female lead (original): Very good, a consensus of treating each other like guests. Male protagonist (later): Why won't my wife cuddle with me?
The female lead is really smart and thoughtful. She has her own principles in everything she does. The character is very well-developed and fitting, without any superficiality. The persimmon and the old lady are also well-described. The whole story makes you want to keep reading. This must not be the author's first book, right?
Wow, how come no one's reviewing this amazing book? It's so good, I definitely have to check it out! My stomach hurts from laughing so much, it's so good, especially the heroine's meticulously planned schemes. And there's even a comparison section! Oh my god, why isn't anyone reviewing it? It's so good!
Although I felt it was a bit exaggerated and over the top, everyone's gossiping together was really funny 😆 And the female lead's stepsister, I initially thought she was a nasty villain, but she turned out to be the comedic relief. Plus, her house is just a wall away from the female lead's, so she can climb over the wall every day to watch her mother-in-law drama unfold.
It's great! It deserves my highest praise. It's really good! The characters are portrayed perfectly, and the prince fits the role perfectly. I love it! Please update more frequently!
It's so satisfying to see the female lead build her career! She doesn't take it lying down; she immediately fights back when she's wronged. I'm not interested in the romance between the male and female leads. It's been a long time since I've read such a satisfying novel with a strong female lead. It deserves a rating of 9 or higher! I've been enjoying this so much lately!
Seriously, please, let the female lead enjoy her own time! This male lead, despite showing affection, offers no real help to her. Even when she's framed by her friend, he can only show anger afterward. And then there's his entanglement with the Fourth Prince and his cousin—he tries to make the female lead jealous while simultaneously using the cousin to control the Fourth Prince.
Putting aside the facts (the writing is immature, full of modern flair and language, the fact that the Marquis and Earl's mansions share a wall, the extreme contrast between praising and criticizing one, and the unrealistic portrayal of people's lives...), It's still a decent read. It's a comparative, satisfying story that's not frustrating to read. Ignoring some of the issues makes it quite enjoyable. Just don't read it with your brain too hard.
The female lead is truly insightful. While her actions are bound by traditional etiquette, she is absolutely free in thought. She is very clear about her position and knows what she wants, taking each step according to her own ideas. Her emotional and intellectual intelligence are both high.
It's good. Rebirth isn't about changing your brain. A sensible and polite person will never have a bad life, no matter what. Relying on yourself is worse than relying on a man; dignity comes from within.
