    I definitely have books without a female lead! First, *Lu Ding, the Corpse-Dissolving Grand Duke*, no female lead, pure enjoyment, highly recommended!! [Heart][Heart][Heart][Heart][Heart] The second one goes without saying, a 9.9 Rating, and no angst!!! No female lead, highly recommended! [Heart][Heart][Heart][Heart][Heart] The third one, the protagonist is an evil god striving to live a normal life, incredibly powerful, quite human, with some humorous moments. [Heart][Heart][Heart][Heart][Heart][Heart] The fourth one, black hair, red eyes, black scythe, refined yet perverted Yan Wugui. Strong from the start, but a bit mentally challenged, resulting in unique thinking, highly recommended! [Heart][Heart][Heart][Heart][Heart][Heart]

    It's a great show, featuring the male lead's classic line: "At worst, I'll just die." It's incredibly interesting; the beginning might be a bit bland, but it gets really exciting later on. He initially thought he wouldn't live long due to his weak constitution, but the longer he stayed in the exile zone, the more he realized one thing—everyone around him was a pushover, while he alone stood out from the crowd.

    All of these are novels without a female lead! (If any readers see a female lead or suggestive content, please let me know and I'll delete it. I read them a long time ago and don't remember many of the plot details.) The eighth book is exceptionally good, it's about dissecting the corpse, haha, I'd give it five stars! The ninth book is also very good! I personally think the fourth book is quite good too, it doesn't drag on too much.
