    In too many novels I see the Female Lead be this super awesome OP character -- only for the Male Lead to be even stronger than her and basically make all that strength irrelevant.

    So for once, I want the Female Lead to be stronger than the Male Lead -- and stay that way the entire time.

    Someone gets kidnapped and needs to be rescued? The Male Lead is the one kidnapped or the Female Lead just rescues herself before the Male Lead can.

    Someone gets assaulted by a band of assholes? Female Lead to the rescue, because its the Male Lead who needs saving!

    And evil demon lord has come to destroy the world? Watch out Male Lead, 'cause the Female Lead has this down pat!

    So yeah, Female Lead is stronger than the Male Lead. Any suggestions?

    EDIT: A novel, please!

    Crossing to the future it’s not easy to be a man. You won’t recognise the ML until very late in the novel, and is never stronger then the FL.
