I Don’t Understand!!! I Want Female-Protagonist-Centered Stories Where the Heroine Never Suffers the Slightest Grievance

Why are there none at all! Why are female-oriented novels all about "it's satisfying to torment the wife for a while, and even more satisfying to torment her forever" these days? Are novels where the woman is strong and the man is submissive really that hard to find? Does the heroine have to be brutally mistreated and still stay in love and act like a lovesick puppy? Desperately looking for stories where the man is devoted and chases after the woman.
