    The first book was the first book I read after joining the Tomato app. I thought it was very good, and the female lead's description almost perfectly matched the original poster's description. The second book was alright, but I found it a bit boring towards the end, so I stopped reading. Overall, though, it was still quite good. Perhaps it was because I was into BL (Boys' Love) novels at the time that I didn't continue. The third book was similar to the second; I read half or a third of it before stopping, but overall, it was still a good read. In summary: all three are quite good. If you're interested, you can check them out, especially the first one. The female protagonists in all three have very positive values; they haven't done anything particularly outrageous or relied on the male lead. (By the way, I'd like to mention my friend's novel, "Rebirth in a Wealthy Family is Unattainable," which you can find on my bookshelf. Since it's her work, and she's quite lazy and doesn't like updating, she asked me to recommend hers while recommending other books. I think it's well-written, and the female lead doesn't rely on the male lead, according to her. You don't have to read it if you don't want to; it's not mandatory 😊😊)
