   Single female lead, the female lead is the original super villain, and the male lead transmigrates into the role of a minor villain in the early stages. A single female lead! A rare find in villainous novels!! Later, the male lead and female lead fall in love, and he doesn't have any interest in other women!! It's very well written, and the plot involves suppressing the chosen one and preventing the female lead from turning evil and killing her own family, preventing her from becoming a cold-blooded machine [smirk]. Chapters 4 and 5 are yuri (lesbian) and both characters are virgins, so does that count as a single female lead? Anyway, it's pure love [smirk].

    For single-female-lead novels, you should check out these two yandere novels. They're not just sickly but also charming, the plots are fast-paced, and there aren't too many ambiguous relationships. The storylines are also captivating. I personally think they're top-tier works by Tomato (the first one is the author's autobiography, with pictures to prove it).

    It features a single female lead who is consistently present and has a significant amount of screen time, including substantial romantic scenes. Unlike many novels that claim to have a single female lead but whose female lead is either frequently absent, involved in ambiguous relationships with numerous supporting female characters, or simply a decorative figure, this one offers a compelling storyline.
