I recommend the book "The East Wind is Like You, and the West Wind Returns" to you. It was a story where the male lead and the second male lead worked together to deceive the female lead. The female lead was not silly and sweet. She was cute and smart. She did not have a masochistic physique. Although the second male lead was good friends with the male lead, he would also like the female lead later on. I hope you like my recommendation.
