strong female leads in another world/ reincarnated/reborn

I love when female leads know who to step on to get what they want. This list consists of mcs who are either super smart/strong/or talented and don't get pushed around. 
Oftentimes, the most OP mcs happens to be in a reincarnation/rebirth trope, of course bc they already know the future. But this list includes badass females in fantasy and historical stories as well. Most are romance.

my love for this story is again driven by my burning desire to see some of these characters fall to their lowest. an empress loved by everyone and rejected empress candidate hated by everyone switch bodies. plot twist, the prince is not who he appears to be. another revenge story.

Inso's Law Webtoon

Ongoing
Author(s): Yuhan,Ahyun
Genre(s): Comedy / Drama / Romance / School Life / Slice Of Life / Webtoons

In Korean, "inso" is slang for "internet novel." this is a story about a normal hs girl who gets trapped in a manhwa with a dazzling cast and is given the supporting role of the plain best friend. but she refuses to accept this fate.
nice twist on the rebirth trope; the character actually has a realistic response.
also not all of the characters fall for her like they always seem to do which is nice.
