Try Villainess Maker. It's def not half-assed though it's not exactly her true nature.
I understand your pain and I need some of this toooo
I barely know anything like what you're describing, the only thing that rung a bell was https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/the_villainess_is_a_marionette/
I'm looking for series (manhwa,webtoon,webnovel) about a genuine villainess. Like actually flawed, mean ect. None of that "actually a saint" or half assed villainess' that are just sassy and nothing else.
Looking for stuff like:
The way to protect the female leads older brother
Villainess reverses the hourglass
To be you even for just a day (/your throne)
Kill the villainess
