Your Majesty, the Prince Consort Is Coming to Kill You

Are There No Stories Where the Main Character Is Smart Without Making the Supporting Cast Stupid and Evil?

Looking for books similar to *Kill the Prince Consort, and This Princess Can Take the Throne!* (*I Am the Imperial Golden Branch*). I hope it has a female lead! I’ve been in a reading slump lately and went through several books rated in the 9s, only to find that most of them claim the female lead is clever, but in reality all her plans rely on her opponents being even stupider.
