   You might want to check out this one. It's a strong female lead story, and not one about infatuation. It's a story of one love for life, one partner, a prince and princess. The female lead is the apprentice of a divine physician and the leader of the most powerful gang in the martial arts world. It's a top-tier female lead story where she takes down the villains, and she's not obsessed with romance. When she first meets the male lead, she's not attracted to his looks, doesn't swoon, and almost buries him and his two guards alive – incredibly powerful! The female lead has high martial arts skills and is also a healer.
