Recommendations Looking for female lead possible reincarnation

So it has been several years since I have started reading novels, and it got to the point where I can't really find any more ones i might like to read. I've gotten pickier because frankly so many I have tried just I found out I can't stand some things. If you have any suggestions I welcome them.

Likes/Wants:

- Female Lead, smart/cunning who isn't too cruel but doesn't repay evil with good, usually transmigrated/reincarnated
- I've been reading a lot of ancient china culture likes, Wuxia/Xianxia. I like those, I like Fantasy too, either/or/both I don't mind.
- Preferably at least 30-50 chapters already translated but guess I can bookmark and wait.

Similar Novels I've Liked:
- Chu Wang Fei
- To Be A Virtuous Wife
- The Rebirth of the Malicious Empress of Military Lineage
- Eight Treasures Trousseau
- Common Sense of a Duke's Daughter

Dislikes:
- Too much tragedy/betrayal/backstab(essentially what I can tolerate is what is shown in the above novels)
- Harem/Reverse Harem... so tired of these lol, and I mean I would prefer the female lead to not be part of several concubines for her love interest but if its like virtuous wife then alright.

I know these are short lists, and definitely not everything exactly that I want... that would add probably a thousand more words. There are several novels out there that I have read that aren't listed as well so I know many will suggest ones I've already got bookmarked. There might not be any others out there that interest me even, but I want to look and see anyways.

Thanks in advance!

 

Yeahhh I wish you good fortune with that.

 

Legend of Fu Yao

 

Interesting I'll give it a shot! I haven't seen this one before

 

I don't read many novels with female MCs so can't really help you there (I'm open to any good recommendations though with more focus on BAMF female MC). Anyway, I'm currently reading Binary Soul (Completed on RRL) and am enjoying it. It's a yuri slice-of-life but maybe you'll enjoy it? IDK

 

I'll check it out, the reason I've started to just go with a female MC is almost all the male MC novels I read they end up with harems and most of the time(not all I know) there isn't very much development both relationships wise or indepth character wise...

 

Uh, I don't read a lot of CNs, so I'll be recommending some JP novels if that's alright.

Getting the obvious choice out of the way (if you are fine with non-human protagonist, of course): Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka?

Edit: Ah, a note about Kumo Desu ga, it has a pretty slow start, and only when a very significant something happens is that when the plot starts turning. Until then it is a, uh, grindfest. The protagonist's personality is carismatic enough to make it a bit interesting, but it can be slow to get through.

As for other options, Yuusha Yori Saikyouna Kuro Kishi doesn't have a cunning/smart protagonist (imo), but she's not sickeningly innocent either, and, for now, doesn't hesitate when it comes to fighting evil.
Then Tensei Shoujo no Rirekisho does seem to fit in what you're looking for, too, but it does have some slice of life parts in which not a lot happens.

 

Unruly Phoenix Xiaoyao ,try this. lots of laughter and fun though a bit different from your mentioned ones

 

My Disciple Died Yet Again

 

I've actually got kumo on standby right now, waiting for it to get more chapters again to splurge

as for the other two not usually my thing, but I'll try them out.

it looks interesting, I'll try it out.

I have seen this one around but never really started to read it, maybe its about time I glance at it

 

Demon Wang’s Golden Favorite Fei
Xian Wang Dotes On Wife
Chongfei Manual
Mochiron, Isharyōseikyū Itashimasu!
The Magnificent Battle Records of A Former Noble L...
Kenkyo, Kenjitsu o Motto ni Ikite Orimasu- not necessarily a "smart" MC but is the boss of the girls of her grade

 

It's probably not what you exactly wanted but do try Supernatural Girlfriend and give it a chance!

 

I have the first three on bookmarks but the next three... well time to try them out!

I honestly don't think I'll like it, but I'll look at it first before saying no

 

Poison Genius Consort
Jun Jiuling

 

Don't know if you will like them but some JP ones I have enjoyed that seem to fit include:
Demon Girl ~Tale of a Lax Demon~
Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear
Itai no wa Iya nanode Bōgyo-Ryoku ni Kyokufuri Shitai to Omoimasu
Also I second "My Disciple Died Yet Again".

 

thank you

oh I don't mind JP ones, in fact for a few years I only read JP ones, just lately it seems all I read is what seems to be mostly chinese

 

Bone Painting Coroner
Space and Rebirth: The Favored Genius Doctor and Businesswoman
The Cry of the Phoenix Which Reached the Ninth Heaven
The Princess Wei Yang
Thousand Face Demonic Concubine

Transmigrator Meets Reincarnator
The Two-Faced Venerate Emperor
Mesmerizing Ghost Doctor

 

OriginStory the VRMMO: The advent of AxeBear
Whisper of the Nightingale
Taint
Endless cage
Orc Lord

Also maybe you would appreciate real book recommendations too. So here are a few:

The Black magician trilogy
Mistborn trilogy
The Emperor's Soul
The Naming

 

Interesting, thank you for pointing out some of these. I only read a couple but the others i never noticed.

never seen any of these, sadly for the real books I can't read because no income to buy them.

 

Lol know the feeling with not having the money for books helps that my family likes to read so we all just pass the books that we buy around after we read them.

So just one last suggestion since it sounds like you do most of your reading from this site. IMO one of the best books on the web but it is not a female MC sooo: Mother of Learning
