    Honestly I think it would be better if we had a ruthless/cold female heroine along with male Mc instead of those generic kindhearted and naive female heroines

    The Fierce Illegitimate Miss is one accdg to spoilers. It has few translated chapters but MC is really prone to violence once provoked.

    Hmm... so these three, that I’ve discovered recently all take place in the present so there aren’t any over-bloody scenes or real opportunities to show that the FLs are ruthless. But, I think you might like them since they show the FMCs potentials well.
    Madam, you have been uncovered- I’ve been quite obsessed with it for a while and the FMC is capable and usually emotionless. It’s translated till about 80th chapter if I’m not wrong but you can just find the raw in mtl.com

    The Queen of Everything- It’s not as exciting as the other ones so far but the interesting part is that FL lives two lives and goes back to her first life again. Not so many chapters are translated, so I don’t know if it will get more exciting than it is currently.

    Beware Mr. Officer, Tread Carefully- It’s also about rebirth and it’s quite fun to read. Both FL and ML are cold and capable and the plot revolves around military stuff.

    I guess its hard to find cold and cruel FMCs that cares little or not about love :blob_teary:

    MC doesnt have to be violent to be ruthless. She just has to put her own interests above anyone else’s.

    Well, I really agree. When the series center around powerful characters and only one dumb female character, it not only is not my cup of tea but also feels unrealistic- whether the genre is supernatural or not.

    Exactly summarized the kind of series that I want to find, but fail to discover...

    My Crown Prince Consort is a Firecracker! - This one is legit gold and although understanding raws of a cultivation WN with lots of words translated wrongly was quite hard, I couldn’t keep myself from reading, just so good. The FL is completely ruthless and her actions are not baseless, it makes sense why she is that heartless. You will even feel empathy towards her from some point on!

    The President’s Lover is a Fighter - This one is a modern-day WN and even though both the FL and the ML are quite capable, it is mostly romance overall with complicated stuff- at least without the basic cliches. You should read it if you like romance with strong characters with powerful backgrounds and can take mature scenes.

    Maybe not what you’re searching for, but another guy referred this novel to me a while ago and i’m in love with it:

    Beast Cultivation System - FMC start naive but the world hardens her.

    I just started my reading, but taking the fact that FMC is a formelly lass reincarnated In the body of a Frost Wyrven, fusing her spirit with the new born spirit (Yes, FMC is a magic Beast/Dragon, not human), i believe she will be more ruthless in the future. The novel already started to give tips that as a magical beast, her patience isn’t her strong point and because of her magical beast nature the death of others don’t have much emotional impact on her.

    For me this is a hidden jewel, as this novel isn’t even listed here in novel updates (but some chapters translations are terrible).

    Wow! Haven’t heard of that before. Thanks for the recommendation. I believe something like this might be a breath of fresh air since there are lots of novels that are basically the same.

    I love the protagonist from Crossing to the Future, it’s Not Easy to Be a Man, if you haven't read that yet. She's really cold, I love it.

    There is a comic called "My wife is a demon queen" you might like.
