The Sickly Little Octopus and Our Entwined Love

Novels with One Love Interest, a Faithful Male Lead, and a Smart Female Lead

Fantasy with a Female Lead from the Start, One Love Interest, No Harem, and Strong Leads

One female lead, no harem. Ideally the male and female leads progress side by side, and the female lead is powerful too... No romantic ambiguity. Fantasy, martial arts, sword cultivation, or urban settings are all fine...

One Female Lead, One Female Lead, One Female Lead: The Most Important Thing Deserves Saying Three Times

One female lead, one female lead, one female lead.

One Female Lead Only. One Female Lead, Please

High martial arts, a System, fantasy, wuxia. Any genre is fine as long as there's only one female lead.

One Female Lead (Look at My Requirements. I Refuse to Believe There's a Story That Meets Them All)

Fantasy or cultivation, with one female lead. The protagonist is a genius, not useless, and doesn't rely on women. He's a bit henpecked. The couple genuinely like each other, not because of mutual benefit. There are some comedic elements, and the female lead gets plenty of screen time. (She shouldn't disappear for dozens or hundreds of chapters, and should appear fairly early.)
