sahlty's manga / #Strong Female Lead(120)

Story has dumb moments that I don’t even know how to describe how I feel The whole plot of the story honestly isn’t as serious as the title even makes it out to be Okay it’s just boring now, honestly there’s just nothing interesting after the first 20 chapters. Dropped.

Things are really exciting in this story. This is not an isekai story, just FL going back in time 1 year before her death to take revenge on the people who used her. FL is a noble woman who has lost her family and has been taken under the wings of her uncle. However, things are not as nice as they seem, as her uncle’s family slowly begins to take away from FL’s family name and the people who FL’s family. FL is ultimately betrayed by her cousin home and she loved very much. Somehow or rather, I fell manages to travel back in time and wake up one year before her suppose it death. This time FL is determined to get revenge on her cousin and her uncle’s entire family. FL is bold and seems to be fearless at times as she makes way for her revenge plan. FL decides to use the Emperor, the ML, as a pawn in her revenge plot. In a previous life, SL had overheard that her uncle was planning to commit treason and overturn the royal family. This was also the reason for her ultimate demise as her cousin poisoned her upon knowing that she overheard their plans. FL quickly gains the favour of ML, after surprising him with a kiss. As of chapter 20, FL runs into her uncle and her cousin in the Palace, during her brief encounter with a cousin, flashbacks of memories seem to come up, seemingly from a past life timeline where FL was in an arranged marriage to the Emperor and eventually became the Empress. Spoilers from another user in the common section mentioned FL slowly gains more flashbacks of pieces of memories from past life timelines where she did become the Empress and became a special person to the Emperor. It also seems that in some scenes, ML also remembers the events from past life timelines which is probably the reason why they both have feelings for each other very quickly despite FL not remembering. Update, at chapter 41, it is revealed that the ML, also returned to the past after he died with his memories mostly intact.

FL was an orphan that transmigrated into a martial arts novel, finding herself to be the daughter of the most villainous man of all the sect worlds. FL has memories of a past life, remembering that she was anointed with no family. Being reincarnated into the novel, she was surprised to find myself in the body of the villainous daughter that would ultimately get killed in the original story. FL’s father and people of the demonic sect truly dote on her and baby her a lot. Interactions between FL and the elders of the sect are very cute and wholesome. When FL was a young toddler, the elders would actually be watching her from afar and guarded her. Romance is slowly budding, ML is the young sacked leader who actually in the original story ends up killing the villain and the villain’s daughter in the name of revenge for his family being killed. However, in this new timeline, because FL is no longer the villainous woman like the original story, ML does not feel hatred for her and because of her kindness begins to doubt his plans for revenge and unwittingly develops feelings for her. As of chapter 37, FL is still a child, probably around 12 maybe? Story does do time skips occasionally but doesn’t tell the ages of the characters often. Second male lead syndrome coming into play, in an accident where Fl was trapped in the cave, she picks up an ancient serpent, Heuk, who doesn’t quite have the mental capabilities of an adult but does get jealous when FL and ML are close.

Not isekai. FL was a 300 year old witch Who has lived her life in solitude being one of the strongest magicians but unfortunately, one day falls in love with a human man who she made king and later, betrays her by killing her. Needless to say FL died with a grudge, hoping for a second chance. FL gets reincarnated into a body of an infant, and is the princess of a nearby kingdom to a king who used to fight her back in her previous life. Essentially, the King/her father is somewhat heartless because all his children murder each other for the right to become heir or the successor to the throne. Survival of the fittest right? Thankfully for FL, she retains not only the memories of her past life but has found that her magical abilities has been improved or is at a higher level than she previously was. This time she is determined to survive and take revenge on the man that killed her. FL is a ridiculously gorgeous child and even gained the affection of her coldhearted father. Not sure how long she will stay a child for because it seems like time is moving pretty slowly but that’s okay because we finally get introduced to an eccentric sorcerer who is most definitely going to be the ML. Already we have a love hate relationship going on with you too and I’m excited to see how it gonna progress. ML knows that FL is not who she seems to be but is not sure entirely of her identity which makes him super interested in finding out.

FL, Edna is the fallen Prince Eden who lived all of her childhood years disgusting as the opposite sex to survive under the hands of the tyrannical and sadistic king. Despite all, the royal family fell and Edna managed to escape and survive with hope of reclaiming back what was lost. FL met ML as a replacement in an arranged marriage when the original bride, daughter of a count or duke refused to the marriage as ML was a commoner who was later given the title of a noble, earned for this fierce and bloodthirsty reputation after winning in battles. FL and ML get married despite the sham as ML takes an interest in the mysterious FL who claims to be a maid yet, has an abundance of knowledge which would say otherwise. FL is a strong, knowledgeable and capable person. She is kind and lends a hand to those in need. She is fair in dealing punishments and setting rules to be followed. Effortlessly, she gains the trust and respect of everyone she comes across. Even the ML, impressed by her, falls in love with her. There is no unnecessary drama in the romance department between the MCs, though political complications do happen and blood gets shed. Eventually, FL’s hidden identity is discovered but welcomed. The scenes where FL displays her prowess like the Prince she was who conquered battles is truly amazing. FL and ML end up having 3 children but we mainly only see the firstborn son, Alex in here. It’s is just so satisfying watching the FL being such a strong leader, inspiring her people and fear to those who oppose her. 103 chapters went by like a breeze, story and plot is so easy to follow and so intriguing to keep following. You just look forward to what’s going to happen next. Awesome read!

Not isekai. FL was a poor child who learned sportsmanship and decided she wanted to become a knight. FL has an incredible talent and is known for being a genius swordsman, taking after her father who had a reputation for being one of the best, if not the best swordsman the continent has ever seen. In her first life, she manage to join the Black Knights of the imperial force. Growing up poor, with lots of loans and debts, money came first. FL gets manipulated by the leader of the Black Knights, who lured her in with money to commit unspeakable acts, like assassinations and other underhanded things. FL was ultimately killed by him, in a bid to silence her after tasking her with taking the life of the third prince. FL died with a lot of regret, at the time of her death she wished that she could go back and restart everything and not make the same mistake. FL wakes up, back in the past, where she has yet to join the Black Knights and all her friends are still alive. This time, she strives to be different, vowing that she would not make the same mistake as her past life and make money her sole motivation. This time, retaining the memories of her past life, FL vows to change things in this life. She is seen being a lot kinder to her friends, and slowly changing her reputation for being a money hungry knight /swordman. In this current timeline, FL gains the attention of the fourth prince who is in charge of the Red Knights. Convinced by their commander, who seems to be the ML, FL joins the Red Knights and begins her new life to undoing her past mistakes and perhaps saving the lives of those she couldn’t in her past.

Yeah so FL is a knight who snuck out one day under a disguise to attend a festival. At said Festival, FL meets an attractive man and ends up seducing and sleeping with him under the influence. She wakes up and runs away only to find out later that she is pregnant with a mysterious man’s child. FL panics after learning that the tyrannical Emperor is looking for a woman that ran away and she kind of puts two and two together to realise that the mysterious man that she had a one night stand with was actually the Emperor and she’s actually carrying the Emperor’s child. FL slowly buy her time to figure out a plan to escape, thinking that the Emperor does not know that she is actually the woman that he is looking for. But ha ha jokes on her, the Emperor that she has been seeing in her dreams, who comes to visit her every night basically is actually the Emperor using his magic? Eventually she bolts, managing to evade the tireless hunting for her, settling into a quiet town and gives birth to twins. FL truly devoted her life to children and wishes to keep them safe. She also keeps her identity of what she used to be a secret for obvious reasons. Ultimately, she gets found out anyway and the Emperor/ML gets her back. I can’t really say that I support the ML in the story because he is pretty pushy and doesn’t really seem to respect the decision of FL. Like he acts kind of obsessed and just way too possessive of FL. I know they’re eventually going to end up together but it doesn’t mean that I have to support the relationship.

FL is the daughter of the Saintess. However, the Saintess is not who she makes herself out to be. All her life, FL has been abused by the hands of her mother and the people who serve her because she believed that FL was responsible for her waning powers. The Saintess is supposed to be the only envoy/voice that can interpret the Goddess’s words. However, even though FL’s mother was supposed to be the youngest Saintess ever at the age of 15, unbeknownst to all, her powers were actually taken away from her as quickly as it was given. Unable to accept this fact, FL’s mother got into a contract with an unknown dark entity that offered her powers to remain as the Saintess. It is possibly true that FL‘s mother began using prowess in her powers after the birth of FL as she is meant to be the true Saintess. But that’s not proven yet. In FL’s first time, she was married off to the King of a neighbouring country who supposedly has the Dragon’s powers a long time ago but has since vanished and thus, unfeared nor respected. Under the plot of her mother, who has done uncountable evil acts, including unjustly murdering and lynching the current King’s older brother, the mother was hoping that the King’s hatred will drive him to kill FL one day, giving FL’s mom the right to condemn the King to death. FL’s mother also put a curse on FL, to take the life of the King within 6 months or she will die. After the marriage, FL and ML (the king) truly fell in love. Driven to despair at how FL ultimately could not save the one she loves and the kingdom of innocent people, she prayed for a second chance to redo things and was heard. In her second life, FL returns to the point where marriage negotiations were underway. Except in this life, she takes little actions to change the sequence of things and saves the lives of those who would have died. FL also begins to awaken her true powers in this life and it is revealed that in her previous life, she was killed too soon before her powers were awakened and so the Goddess, the Dragon and the Demon Lord put together the powers to reverse time. As of chapter 40, FL and ML are officially married and making their way across the desert back to ML’s Kingdom. At this point, FL has already been recognised as the true Saintess by two of the Nine Wings, sworn loyal followers reborn in every life to be the Saintess’ pillars. However, FL’s powers are not all there yet. Plot moves kinda slow so hoping more chapters will be uploaded so more progression can be made
