Power Couples [ Strong Female Lead x Strong Male Lead ]

I intended to make this list to compile novels I liked that has Strong Female Leads but I also like Powerful Male Leads so added that as well hehe.

By Strong Female Lead, I don't mean what most thought of, like the MC having advantages since she knows the plot of the story reincarnated in, that's not strong that just her being in the lead since she know what's gonna happen. By strong I mean, either physically or mentally strong. A pretty vague answer but in short here are novels with Main Characters that I deem strong.
Beware that I prioritize the characters here rather than the plots so you may agree or disagree with my selection, but otherwise, these are all just suggestions for people who doesn't know what to read next.

Characters ; 10 - unique, has their own personalities | 8 to 9 - not common or uncommon, but decent nonetheless | 5 to 7 - a character on their own, make sense but also doesn't, not so detailed or well written.

Plot ; 10 - unique and interesting | 8 to 9 - not common or uncommon, but tolerable enough to read | 5 to 7 - written solely for the main characters to shine, not so detailed or well written.

#1I Am Not Fit to Be the Male Lead’s First Love

0 Chapters Every 59.7 Day(s) 6345 Readers 97 Reviews 06-08-2022

Comedy Mystery Romance School Life Supernatural

MC ; 10 / 10 - WHO DOESN'T LOVE THIS GIRL SHE'S HILARIOUS PLEASE LMAOO. Her writing skills are *chefs kiss* she should have been the author instead xD. Woke up from the first chap and realized that she was a character in a novel that was supposedly the Male Leads first love that died. The only thing she remembers so clearly was her last time with him in which he imprisoned her and forced himself on her so she was traumatized and angry at him so now that she got reborn with a system to help, she plans on not being the Male Lead's first love. But of course, we know how that would... more>> end right hehe.

ML ; 10 / 10 - I feel bad for him I really do uGHHHH. His role as the Male Lead was almost too perfect but it still isn't one without any consequences, in other words, despite his character being so powerful, he's still being restricted by the world itself so his first life together with MC was technically the product of the tragedy from the restrictions of the world that he unconsciously wanted to break through yet he wasn't that strong enough to go against 'fate' so he got insane instead, which is why MC's last memory of him that she remembers clearly is how he imprisoned her against her will. Tbh that's spoiler enough about him so that's all LMAO. [ Strong Male Lead | Powerful Male Lead | Smart Male Lead | Clever Male Lead | Clingy Male Lead | Possessive Male Lead | Persistent Male Lead | Obsessive Love ]

Plot ; 10 / 10 - I've read a lot of System novels but this is the one that has a unique twist with it. I mean, have you read about a system that it's cheat is that as long as the MC could complete tasks, it would be possible for the MC to look at the script of the original plot and she'd be manage to change it? Yeah, this was the first for me so I was pretty damn intrigued. I literally finished reading this in just a day omg it's tHAT GOOD I don't want to sleep just to continue reading lmao. ALSO, Chu Yin (MC)'s talent for changing words are hilarious omg. It started off with a lot of students hating her since she always went to school completely covered up so they were like maybe she's ugly, she doesn't interact with anyone and keeps on studying despite others making fun of her so someone posted her past grades from her previous school which was bad so again, students make fun of her, then she's also known as the adopted daughter from their family and sh*t aAAA IT IRRITATES ME WHENEVER A STUDENT OPENS THEIR MOUTH BUT its really satisfying when she holds the pen aND change a simple word in the script that would make the others embarrass themselves instead ahohoho. And it only hurts at the start I swear the ending are all fluff aaaAA. [ Reborn with System | Second Chance ] <<less

MC ; 10 / 10 - just *chefs kiss* she's so good at acting if I was there I would have believed her as well. Very calculative and uses any information that could be used to her advantage. Only a matter of time before everyone in the family dotes on her xD. [ Strong Female Lead | Smart Female Lead | Calculative Female Lead | Clever Female Lead ]... more>>

#3My Weibo Page is Able to Tell Fortunes

160 Chapters Every 15.7 Day(s) 1662 Readers 18 Reviews 12-12-2023

Completed Horror Mystery Supernatural

MC ; 10 / 10 - I LOVE HER AAAAA She's not physically strong by any means and knows that herself. Her only strong point is her weibo page that for some reason can see a person's future and she limits how or when to use it. Doesn't use it recklessly and try to save everyone no no, she knows how suspicious her actions would be if she does anything or goes somewhere she's not supposed to be so she limits her interactions as well as who she checks on her weibo as to not get in trouble. Whenever she does see someone's future that's bound to be bad luck and she knows them, she... more>> does tell them but whether they believe or not is up to them, she wouldn't worry about what they'll do with the info she gave, as long as any events doesn't personally involve her, she tries not to be caught up with any of it. Tho for her first 'fortune telling' she's confused as f*ck and doesn't know if she'll believe what she saw on her weibo so she went to the place to confirm and kinda got caught in the scene since she couldn't just stay there and do nothing so that was the first time she saw someone's future and also saved their lives. She almost got suspected since again, she wasn't supposed to be there but got away with it since the artists that she saved were thankful to her and wants to help her this time. Which is also why now she got into a model contract in which she didn't get from her previous life. [ Model Female Lead | Smart Female Lead | Clever Female Lead ]

ML ; 10 / 10 - I also like him and his interaction with MC cuz they're not a couple right off the bat. They've interacted plenty of times before there's any romantic development between them and I actually liked it. Since most stories I've read, the ML either fell in love at first sight or just interacted a few times and is already head over heals for MC, which isn't so bad but with this couple being not in good terms at first interactions are really refreshing to read hehe. ML is a police which MC wants nothing to do with since she doesn't want to be suspected to be related to any crime but ML is the typically smart and OP kind of police so he couldn't help but think that MC's suspicious, he doesn't think that she's related to any of the cases, but the fact that she knows stuff that they, the police, doesn't even know, is really suspicious. After a few cases MC couldn't help but tell him what she told the others, that she can see fortunes, she didn't tell how but yeah. Of course he wouldn't believe at first but that's the only explanation so whenever they've reach a dead end, he'd try asking her stuff about the cases lmao. [ Police Male Lead | Strong Male Lead | Smart Male Lead | Calculative Male Lead ]

Plot ; 10 / 10 - so yeah oVERALL I LOVE THIS. Do mind that I've seen a few feedbacks from this novel and saw some not liking it, or it being so bland and plain, but personally I love this one since its not a plot that I usually read. If you haven't noticed from my compilations but I usually read romance based novels so. so far this is the first horror or thriller based novel I've read. It's not actual horror that its super creepy but still enough for you to imagine whatever's happening. Well, you may or may not like it but I love it nonetheless so up to you if you'd want to read it. [ Reborn / Second Chance | Mystery | Supernatural ] <<less

MC ; 10 / 10 - was a pretty adventurous type from her previous life so she's technically the sole reason why they're all surviving right now lmao. not the type to rely on the MLs but also not so cold that she'd ignore them when in need. tho she does want to stop interacting with them so that she doesn't get entangled with the original plot as the character she possessed isn't really a good person lmao.

MC ; 8 / 10 - not literally strong but is clever on her own way. Doesn't want to be entangled with the ML but helps him when needed. She has her own limits so despite helping the ML numerous times, she declined the offer to be the MLs personal maid and only helped him when it was her turn to look after him, but when she wasn't the one on duty, she doesn't do anything to help him so as to not be entangled.

MC ; 9 / 10 - is absolutely strong since she's the most powerful magician in the story. No one knew of her existence as a magician other than the emperor as well as the MLs family so to the public she's a well-known noble that has her own title not from her name like most noble does, but from her own power and contributions.

She's pretty laidback yet clever on her own way so far so I like her. [ Villainess Female Lead || Strong Female Lead || Clever Female Lead ]... more>>

Fantasy Romance

MC ; 8 / 10 - not so common and uncommon personality. but I do like how rather than hating or abandoning Lisandro, she really tried hard to change his perspective so that he wouldn't end up like the previous life. I also like how she chose to be different than the previous saints that were honestly just being taken for granted by people. She knows not all of them are bad but not all of them are nice as well, so rather than fulfilling the supposedly saint's 'job' that everyone expects from her, she chose to be seen as a weak saint instead even though she's really powerful. doesn't care about how people speak... more>>

MC ; 9 / 10 - I like how mentally as well as emotionally strong she is. the type that doesn't want to care about anything that doesn't have anything to do with her but couldn't help but to get involved nonetheless since she spent a lot of time in the same time loop so she's also attached to them. maybe not too much like how the characters are attached to her, but enough to worry about them still.

Action Adventure Comedy Drama Mystery Romance Tragedy

MC ; 9 / 10 - tbh i don't know what to say about this gurl like she's physically and mentally strong, and a reALLY good actress that I'd rather believe she's an actress in her real world rather than a known business woman lmao. I both like and dislike her character tbh. She's really good at doing her tasks to the point that even tho I know she's just acting, it irritates me HAHA. Tho in the first place her system is the one that's actually doing unnecessary tasks here and there so its really the one to blame for making almost every task complicated ugh. Personality wise, I do like her. She's strong... more>> and wouldn't let anyone betray her once again ( like how her step sister did in reality ehem ), but her system also is the one that made her emotionally unavailable or smthng in every task world so that she wouldn't feel unnecessary feelings like attachment to any character there soooo. Overall she's hella strong, she can act any role the system gives her and she act wAAAAY too well its kinda scary LMAO. [ Strong Female Lead | Smart Female Lead | Calculative Female Lead | Manipulative Female Lead | Clever Female Lead | Ruthless Female Lead ]

ML ; 8 / 10 - the typical OP tyrant ML. In reality he's supposedly engaged with MC but they both couldn't care less about each other so they were technically engaged only on paper. He's also one of those MLs that aren't close to females to the point that he finds them disgusting which is why he doesn't care about MC before. It took a good while before he got infatuated with her. When MC started doing tasks in exchange for life force, ML is basically the same MLs in every task world so he dreams of every task MC goes to. And well most tasks she had were all bad ending so he always ends up waking up feeling terrified. He didn't recognize the girl in his dreams at first, since he also doesn't usually interact with MC before, but after a few dreams of different worlds, when he visited MC in the hospital he found her familiar and yada yada yada found out she's the one in his dreams. Since then he started getting kinda infatuated and attached since most tasks were ended with MC leaving ML. He feels almost every feeling the ML felt in the tasks so he would wake up feeling lost and in utter agony so that why he gets super vulnerable whenever its concerning MC now. [ Powerful Male Lead | Strong Male Lead | Possessive Male Lead | Obsessive Love ]

Plot ; 8 / 10 - if you've read couple chinese QT novels then you'd know these arcs are pretty common, what makes it different from others tho is MC herself as well as the tasks. Since there are times where she'll be tasked to make the ML, that supposedly hates her character, love her instead, then when he's infatuated enough, make him hate her once again wHILE also loving her at the same time. cOMPLICATED RIGHT?! I can't even think how's that possible but oh well its all fiction anyways so I usually read this with no morals LMAOO. I don't like oR hate it but its interesting enough to read at least, tho I've stopped reading this a few times since the tasks are sometimes tOO MUCH for me and I feel bad for the ML sINCE HE'S LITERALLY BEEN THROUGH A LOT OMG WHY SO MEAN TO HIM BRO. Buuuuuut I haven't dropped it yet since I wanna know how they'll end up in reality hehehe. So in short, the task worlds are a bit too much but I kinda like their interactions in reality so that's what I'm really reading it for hehe. [ Transmigration with System ] <<less

It's understandable tho, its the first arc and she doesn't have any attachments but I just feel bad for the ML since he was really in love with her.

(≧▽≦)/ Thanks for list. Only read half so far but i'm trudging through them. Your explanations are a lot of fun too and i'm such a sucker for power couples. One recommendation I suggest is definitely 'the final boss is no joke', it's from the same series as 'male god, shine bright' but I personally like it better than the latter.
