Looking for smart, adaptable FL revenge stories where the FL dishes out cold desserts to all that has harmed her. I've read 'The Villainess Turns the Hourglass' and now nice revenge plots are all I can think of. Villainess/heroines doing revenge. Highly want aristocratic, but it's fine if it's not. Want ML to have less involvement with her plans (where she's not relying on him at all). Or an FL with no ML. Preferably not Chinese ones. I'm really bad at remembering their names, and I've read too many of them. Some of them are not satisfying because the FL reveals herself too early or she's threatening (face to face) the target too early. It's not that appealing.
Shadow Queen! She's a straight up schemer and leads her enemies into thinking that she's stupid. Novel updates are slow but there's also a manhwa adaptation with a super pretty artstyle

There's two newer ones Angelic Lady and Aideen. They both have manhwa's that started getting translated recently (about 12 chapters each) and they're both supposed to focus on a FL seeking revenge. I'm not sure if the novels are translated though and I can't really guarantee the quality since they're pretty new.
