   The first story in the first book features a scheming female protagonist who wants to climb the social ladder. I haven't finished the rest, but the stories are definitely worth reading. I absolutely loved the second book! It perfectly matches your description. The female protagonist is deep and calculating, using her strengths to help multiple male protagonists achieve her goals. She's not love-struck; she's single-mindedly focused on climbing the social ladder. The third and fourth books are similar, with the fourth one being more like a typical, popular female character.

The female lead is an orphan, beautiful, and has a great figure. She knows how to use her advantages to make money and doesn't have a strong sense of morality. After learning the male lead is rich, she tries to seduce him. At first, the male lead ignores her because he has a "white moonlight" (idealized love interest), but his "white moonlight" is too reserved and not ready to take their relationship further, allowing the female lead, this "green tea" (a manipulative woman), to take advantage and win him over.
