Isekai recommendations with mature characters

This is gonna be a bit of a rant but bear with me please.

I’m honestly getting tired of the cheesy “I got reincarnated as some girl so I’m gonna help the tragic handsome duke/prince that I know nothing about because I’m just pure and kind like that.” He’ll be cold to her, she’ll pester him with jokes and funny faces, and that’s supposed to be charming. Not to mention she’s gonna blush 24/7 every time he does something like she’s a high schooler.

They were fun for a while, but now every high rated manhwa feels identical. Can we get a female lead that doesn’t end up being the same Mary Jane the manhwa is poking fun at? It feels like the fl gotta be either Einstein type of smart or a 6 year old these days. Why is there no middle ground?

For reference, my favorite reincarnation manhwa is The Villainess Reverses the Hourglass. The characters are intelligent and mature, not written like they’re from a teenager’s imagination. If you know anything similar, I’d love recommendations!
Sorry if this sounds harsh but goddamn your girl is tired.
