A Binge-Worthy List of Smart, Stunning Female Leads
A picky reader A bookworm of over ten years I have very strong personal reading preferences. A book doesn’t have to be pure wish fulfillment, but the logic and characters’ intelligence need to hold up! Sometimes I do enjoy pure wish-fulfillment fiction: so engrossing that I’m swept along by the pacing, with no need to think. All that matters is the satisfying rush. I still favor beautiful female protagonists who are self-reliant and smart. [Mostly xianxia and xuanhuan with no male lead] [A few h
A Veteran Reader of Ten Years: Must-Reads to Beat a Reading Slump, Even If It Means Staying Up All Night
I've been reading for over a decade, and this list reflects my personal taste. I'm not into womanizing protagonists or harem novels. I prefer stories with sound values, and I read a bit of everything, both for men and women. I only recommend what I think is worth reading. I won't recommend the big-name books on the rankings. I'll stick to less popular ones, and I only recommend books good enough to keep me up at night reading.
Recently Followed
These are all fairly well-written and easy to read. Feel free to skip the more unconventional ones. I’ve recently followed and bookmarked these, and they’re worth a look.
My Complete Reading List
All kinds of genres. Not comprehensive, but not bad either.
Tales of Woe
What on earth is wrong with my eyes and brain?
Must-Read Thrillers
I like completed novels I can read in one go. I'll only follow an ongoing story if it's really good.
My Favorite Picks~
I have been reading web fiction for fourteen years. I enjoy works from many categories. I will not say much about the older books. Starting from the date this list was created, anything I consider good will be added here.

In this book, Grandmother Jia is the savior, while Lady Wang destroys everything. In the previous book, Lady Wang saved the world, while Grandmother Jia destroyed everything. The common thread is that all men are foolish, and all men can be saved by women, including but not limited to Jia She, Jia Zheng, and Jia Zhen... The hatred between women is truly blatant!
It's probably a matter of personal taste. Personally, I think *Dream of the Red Chamber* is a novel about the beauty and tragedy of women. What the author wrote is essentially a time-traveling tale of tearing apart awful relatives, wrapped in the *Dream of the Red Chamber* guise. The protagonist sees everyone else as fools and herself as the smartest.
It feels like a keyboard warrior from another era has traveled through time and is now criticizing everyone he meets.
By chapter 25, I couldn't take it anymore. I want to ask the author if they always deal with interpersonal relationships in a straightforward and self-serving way, leaving no room for maneuver for others? What's the difference between the protagonist speaking like that and tearing someone apart?
This is an absolute gem, a true gem, and it has to be in the female-oriented genre. Personally, I think this book shouldn't be limited to just the female-oriented genre; that would be too narrow a scope.
Yuan Chun deserves someone better. Her potential marriage partners are all new characters added by the author himself, so why can't she be allowed to marry someone better and be content? As for Baochai marrying Jin Rong, what a ridiculous idea the author even came up with, acting as if it were a favor bestowed upon Baochai. What absurd people Jia She, Jia Zheng, and Jia Zhen were!
Jia Zheng, what do you want to do by raising your hand? Jia Zheng: "Principal, I'm already a middle-aged greasy man, can I skip the nine-year compulsory education make-up classes?" Ou Mengmeng: "Even if you were to run away to the European Union, you would still have to receive universal education. What do you think?"
A primary school principal telling me you're not familiar with *Dream of the Red Chamber*? Are you really that uncultured? You're not even familiar with the Four Great Classical Novels? How did you become a principal?
The female lead has a vicious personality.
She's the best in the whole world, haha, everyone else is stupid.
Why would a female protagonist's book be published in a male-oriented online bookstore?
