But as soon as the heiress returned to the Empire, she crippled a pair of rotten scumbags and shot to fame. In the blink of an eye, she had become a venomous beauty with a heart of pure malice.

   These four books are definitely the ones! They're all incredibly sweet and doting on their husbands! The most highly recommended and most famous one is the first one, which I've personally read over ten times. The early part (up to the part where the female lead gives birth) is absolutely amazing! It's incredibly sweet and doting, and the later parts are also great. However, after the baby is born, there are inevitably two more people in their lives, so the female lead has less attention and energy to give the male lead (later, she gives birth to one child and adopts another), but it's still very good. The main focus is on the early part, before the baby is born—it's incredibly sweet and doting! The second book is also great; I've read it about ten times. The early part is also very good, but unlike the first book, which primarily focuses on the story of the male and female leads, the second book gives a lot of space to the other supporting characters (the author's original words were that she doesn't distinguish between main characters and supporting characters; they are all main characters, only main characters and secondary characters 😂).

   After searching high and low, I still want to say that this book was the one I read during the summer vacation with the most doting female lead on her husband, besides those female-dominated novels! I absolutely love the male lead's unexpected charm! The female lead is incredibly domineering and won't allow the male lead to suffer even the slightest grievance; if he does, she'll get revenge. The male lead is the steady, mature, fatherly type of boyfriend; he's a bit insecure at first, but he gets over it later! And guys like that are just so incredibly lovable when they cry! However, he's not a female-dominant character; the male lead's disability will be cured later.

    These are all books where the male and female leads like each other and pamper each other. It's worth mentioning that the only quick transmigration novel among them isn't overly sweet, but it's not angsty either; in my opinion, it's more of a playful, flirtatious story. Importantly, both the male and female leads are virgins. Also, I have quite a few other novels on my bookshelf about doting husbands and mutual redemption; if you're interested, feel free to browse my bookshelf.

    The female protagonist, Xuan Yuan Dao Zu, is a reclusive and powerful figure with unfathomable strength. She is decisive and ruthless when facing demonic conspiracies and sect feuds, displaying an unwavering protectiveness towards her own, making her the undisputed "strongest connection between humans and demons." The male protagonist, Nian Gao, is an adorable, doughy-coated ferocious beast cub who initially tries to feed the Dao Zu. This innocent naiveté contrasts sharply with his beastly identity, creating a humorous and endearing dynamic. From their initial mishap of "hunting for food" to their later inseparable bond and mutual protection, their nurturing interactions are sweet without being cloying. The Dao Zu's domineering protectiveness and Nian Gao's clingy dependence complement each other perfectly, making every interaction incredibly sweet and hitting the sweet spot for the "woman doting on man" trope.

    I think these are all genuine modern-day "doting husband" novels (the third one isn't a female-dominant novel). The male leads are all so pitiful, but the female leads come to their rescue.
