Does Tomato Really Have No Real Strong Female-Led Novels?!

I want a career-focused, steadily leveling-up female lead who's strong enough to crush everyone. Why does the male lead have to be stronger than her in a strong female lead story??? If male-oriented novels can have a male lead focused on his career with beautiful women flocking around him, why can't a female-oriented novel have a female lead focused on getting stronger, with handsome men throwing themselves at her?

Looking for Stories with a Powerful Female Lead Who Wields Power and Controls the Tide of Events

I want stories where a woman advances step by step and occupies a high position. I do not want male characters with stronger personalities or more presence than the female characters helping her. Romance is fine, but it must never compromise her fundamental interests.

Please Recommend High-Quality Political Intrigue

I'm looking for books like "The Jin Army Besieges the City: Reborn as Emperor Qinzong of Song". The male lead can transmigrate into the past as an official or an emperor, or rise up from the bottom through the imperial exams. I'm open to anything, but I'd like genuine political intrigue and an accurate historical setting. Something like "Sword Snow Stride" or "Celebrating the New Year".

Looking for Political Scheming with a Female Lead Who Controls the Board: Highly Intelligent, Cold, and Powerful
