1)I want a manga or manhwa or whatever with an ambitious female lead. Everything else comes second aside from family maybe. Boys and love come second.
2)I want a naive hero or heroine. I want him/her to be completely innocent. They don't necessarily have to be a fool.
3)Any story like Bronze Zetsuai
Thanks in advance

If you lurk around the forums, you'll find a LOT of such topic threads.
This one.
Also, this right here. Wait, did I mention this one?
Ooh, and did you bother doing a category search for Career Woman or Ambitious Female?

^ Looking through the tags, I just realized that the lists in those categories are kind of short... Oh well. Of those that don't appear to be on Ginny's list:
Saiunkoku Monogatari
Glass no Kamen
Penguin Kakumei
Seiyuu Ka!
Oishii Kankei
Tokyo Crazy Paradise (same author as Skip Beat!, and frankly better than Skip Beat!, especially with how Skip Beat! keeps dragging things out now)
The above all fit 1) and 2). I have No idea what Bronze Zetsuai is about, so no helping there. xP
Not sure if these count:
Real Clothes (not that ambitious?)
Nodame Cantabile counts (no ambition?)
Subaru (not that innocent, but really ambitious)
Gokusen (not really innocent)
Saiunkoku Monogatari
Glass no Kamen
Penguin Kakumei
Seiyuu Ka!

There are 3 pages total if you add up Career Female and Ambitious Woman. I said that it's short because this represents the entire (scanlated) manga/manhua/manhwa genre. I found it rather sad that there were so few manga in general focused on ambitious females (or at least tagged as such). I mean, there are a bit over 8 pages just for "Soccer", in comparison.
Anyway, the reason people ask for recommendations instead of just looking at categories is to help them filter through the list, or to help them locate series that the categories have missed.
Some categories also give disturbing results. I looked at Father+Daughter once, hoping for some nice family relationship series, and a big part of the results were ecchi or hentai. (yes, I can do a new search while excluding genres, but just coming across that was annoying)

I know that there are few such manga, but even so, most weren't on her reading list from what i could see.
And as for recommendations, there were many other threads with the same topic that she could have consulted first.
I agree with your viewpoint, but I do believe she was a tad bit too hasty while forming this thread.
And as for the father and daughter thing, you could do a genre search and exclude hentai/ecchi from your search result easily by selecting the red boxes.
Though that would narrow your list down considerably.

Thank You guys again!! Sorry I just cut off. I went to Canada! It was so cool. I got gypped into buying a $25 sweater of cheap material. It was big though. I like that. I did look through the threads ElanorR mentioned. I think I read some new ones. I don't remember. I go through manga like water.
I heard of Nodame Cantabile. I was not gonna watch it though and it wasn't really what I was looking for. When Mizura recommended it I thought "I should at least try it". Ooooh...how glad I was~ It was a little out of my usual zone, but anything of good interest is in my zone Anyway, like all good things it came to an end. Too fast. In 3 days I finished everything. The ovas and S2 were okay, but S1 was the best. Oh a naive girl doesn't need ambition. I meant of the stories that I'm reading I would like one with a naive girl and one with an ambition. Like...
1) Haruhi (OHSHC) Later on she becomes romantic but hey
2) Koi no Rule o Wasuretara
3) Let Dai (Haven't read it) Not really into the whole suicide thing
I don't just want an ambitious female lead. This was the most efficient way to get good results Not many people have read Bronze. Plus new manga are added everyday and forgotten manga are picked up.
All in all, I'm so grateful to all the effort you guys put in. I don't know if I'm just around horrible people but you're all great. TT^TT
I didn't realize you'd go through my list. Thanks again I made my complete list and wish list public. If anyone is ever in need of manga recommendations pm me. I'm not always on forum and whatnot.

Annarasumanara
idk if this is ambitious, persay, but it's more like she is struggling to make ends meet.
She cares about grade, family, and money more than boys.

CynicallyOp obviously knew what s/he was doing when she recommended Ashita no Ousama. Remember when I said it was too long. I take it back. It's too short. I loved it. It could have ...well...whatever... I'm tired
Tinny-kins I already read Annarasumanara I didn't really understand anything till the very last chapters. There was symbolism that I took literary and stuff.
Thanks so much AGAIN!!!! I love this. Please keep with the suggestions.

Cheese in the Trap - ambitious in how she's constantly trying to be the best in school. She often doesn't know how to deal with people properly, thus she gets taken advantage of or put into difficult situations.
Kimi wa Pet
I second Gokusen and Glass Mask.

I'm going to second Oishii Kankei because although she has someone she loves, she doesn't let that stand in the way of her career.
