This falls under the trope of protagonist is reincarnated as the villainess of a book or game. Since the protg was reincarnated as "Louise Sweeney" before any damage was done or ill reputation has occurred, she was able to revamp the character's specs and is a studious and decent person who easily catches people's positive attention.
It's okay. It's follows the pretty standard trope, so if this is your thing, you'll probably like it.
Female lead reincarnates as "Chartiana Altizer Cailon", a duke's daughter who was chosen to enter contest to become empress. She starts at a disadvantage since the male lead doesn't like the actual Charti, but the protag wins him over with her new personality and knowledge from current day Korea. She's not a fighter and her battles are won with wit.
Female lead is reincarnated as a person who was killed off by her husband. She seeks help from a duke to side-step that fate using her "knowledge of the novel" as a bargaining chip. I honestly don't remember if she was strong, but at the very least, she isn't weak-willed.
It's fun to read about a cool and unflappable female lead. But as good as she seems to be at her job, she falls under the same protagonist spell of being absolutely clueless about the male lead's feelings no matter how blatant he makes it, which is a little annoying at times.
Revenge story. Asshole ex-husband tricks female lead into donating her liver to his mom and then dumps her right after. I have trouble understanding some of the female lead's life choices and her revenge plot has a lot of holes in it, but I'm so invested to see how the asshole family to torn down so I'll keep reading.
Dumb duke as brawns and clever swindler as brains. Male lead wants female lead to help him become king. Female is smart and badass, but the story itself is pretty bland.
Elisha died and came back to a time before a bunch of bad things happen to her. In her determination to change her fate, she chases after Lucerne, who is the duke's illegitimate grandson to save her. She strikes a deal with him to help him become duke, he marries her, and then go off on their little adventures.
She seems decently smart and compassionate...
