Wow,.. sorry to hear that Chinese novels give you such a bad impression with weak spoiled female leads.
But I have to say that's because you only read the Chinese web-novels stories.
Chinese novels written by Jin Yong, Liang Yusheng have great characters and strong female leads also. Actually I got my inspiration to write from Jin Yong - this author (passed away in 2018) gives a lot of influence in modern Chinese literature. Hongkong and China postal office even issued stamps to commemmorate him.
Anyway., if you're interested in reading historical-fiction (real historical events) with strong female leads, perhaps you want to read my novel : https://www.webnovel.com/book/records-of-the-immortals_17011867105133305
But I have to warn you : my female leads kill and chop bad guys' heads :p to pursue justice.
Although it's not a reverse harem, but my female leads may have some admirers who will swoon over their feet :D
