    I want to know if a treasure like this truly exists, i every time she’s the "independent woman" but somehow the ml always manages to marry her as soon as the story starts and eventually she’ll fall in love with him and deny her love for him, which will last till chapter 1000 then they have the usual wedding happy ending.
    I DONT WANT THAT
    I’m a person who hates romance to it’s core.
    Can the recommendations have a lot of chapters please oh and please no damael in distress that is assertive to love.

    Delicate Mother of a Villian - it doesn't have a ML. But there is a tiny dumpling but the tiny dumpling doesn't have a father, so all's good.
    The MC's true love is food. Seriously.

    Also, I would like to recommend All My Family Are Villian - there is a ML, but only in the last, last chapters will there be an inkling of romance.
    The MC is a fourteen-fifteen year old teenager for most part of the novel. There are no romance in those parts.
    The story mainly focuses on the MC's attempts to keep her family from falling into a pit and her relationship with her father and brother. The MC for the most part is described a bit exaggeratingly beautiful and perfect but not weak. She solved her own problems and isn't a damsel in distress as far as I'm concerned.

    I'm not sure what kind of plot you are looking for, but you should check some Yuri novel if you don't want a ML.
    In most yuri novel, there is not that much romance, it's only teasing most of the time. And the MC is usually stronger than her companions.
    Here are some of them that I love:
    - Isekaied Shoggoth
    - Dragon's Bloodline

    If you are okay with Yuri (romance not being the main focus), just tell me and I can give you a dozen of novels with strong, independant FL.

    Also, there are a few novels of them that don't have yuri or ML or any kind of romance (the name might be a bit off, I'm using my memory):
    - I said make my abbilities average
    - Making 30000 gold coins in another world for my old age
    - In another world using potions
    - Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear

    These are my recommendations of novels with only female MC and no romance
    1) Girl who ate the death - believe me it is seriously good
    2)
    Youjo Senki - Crazy MC
    3) Doomsday Wonderland - Good plot
    4) Kino no Tabi – The Beautiful World - Slow life and heartwarming
    5) Quick Transmigration Cannon Fodder’s Record of Counterattacks - World hopping type novel with no romance
    6) Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka? - Lot of monologue but still good.

    https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/14167/metaworld-chronicles - second chance, MC wakes up in an alternate history, magic modern world. No ML. Excellent world building as the author contrasts the methods, magic-tech, history, and locations of this magic modern Earth with what the MC remembers of the old tech-based, mundane Earth. Major story arcs are set in Sidney, Shanghai, and London, along with excursions to other locales. Shanghai has the university and tournament arcs where the MC gets her power ups. Also business empire building starts in Shanghai and the MC going big in London. Author mentioned that he has a degree in Literature.

    I’m never sure if Dominion’s End counts...female MC transmigrated into male body. There are male lead(s) but no romance.
