Give me couples where the FL is just as strong as the ML, no dumbed-down heroines

Just caught up on Age of Arrogance and I'm hooked on this exact dynamic: both leads gorgeous, both dangerous, neither one carrying the other. Modern or fantasy setting, don't care. The one non-negotiable: the FL doesn't get dumbed down or turn dense the second the romance starts. What else is out there?

Pass the Monster Meat Milady if you don't mind hopping to manga, both leads strong and it's a DELIGHT

'the FL isn't dumbed down' should NOT be a rare request and yet here we are
