I looked at the rankings for female-oriented historical-era novels, and almost all the titles are about a delicate, frail heroine being doted on by a rugged man. Are there any historical-era novels where the male lead has very little presence, or no male lead at all?

The first book, The Gate of Time and Space, has no cp. It mainly describes two brothers and sisters. The 1960s modern era slowly makes the family's life better. The second book, Billionaire Cruise, says that the male protagonist's love brain appeared late. Currently, I have followed Chapter 246 and there is no greasy and crooked love line. The female protagonist is really ruthless and ruthless, and there are bad guys who are really brave sharks. The third book, Old Mansion through Modern Times, I am in Fattening. I haven't read the back yet. I am currently reading chapter 180. I guarantee there will be no cp before chapter 180. I have read the book review section and it is quite controversial. Most of them say that there is no cp. A few of them say that a certain character is the male protagonist. We don't know, but it is very interesting. Otherwise, I would not have fattened before [laughs] I've finished reading the fourth book, Little Poor, and it's pretty good. The author said there is no cp, but in the last chapter, he said that the heroine got married, had a husband, and gave birth to a child. I just mentioned it in one sentence. If you don't mind, don't read it. The fifth book, Seventy Years, is really good. The male protagonist's scenes are less in the background. It's finished. Don't worry about it. The heroine has a high emotional intelligence and strong communication skills. I've been following it until the end. It's highly recommended.

The first book is very good, and the writing is also good. The other two books have good introductions. They are subjects I am interested in. I have them in stock for the time being.

Look at these books, they all have no CP or the male protagonist has no sense of presence. The first two are period novels and fast time travel novels. The second one has the female protagonists dressed as various weird old ladies. The subject matter is very unique and worth watching. The third one has no CP and has a relaxed writing style. The fourth one is about group dressing. The author has done a lot of homework.

I also don't like male protagonists who appear early and have a strong presence. I specially recommend a few books for you. These books are all time travel stories with space. The previous serials have not been updated yet, but they are not bad. The first one did not go to the countryside and currently does not have a male protagonist who is strong in force. The second book has a very low sense of space presence. An educated youth who went to the countryside and a strong man relied on himself to lead the villagers to make a fortune. In the third book, the male protagonist comes out earlier, but his presence is not high. The female protagonist goes to work and learns to take care of her son. The fourth book is "Eating Melon and Watching a Show". The female protagonist gets rich in a low-key manner, and the male protagonist also appears later. The others are all read earlier, but they are all almost similar. You can read it, and you will definitely not fall into the trap.

Shen Cheng focused on the steel gun and refused righteously. On the family visit day, Jiang Nianzi was dressed in a cheongsam, with red lips and black hair. She called out "Shen Cheng" in a sweet voice. He immediately grabbed his comrade by the neck and said, "Is this the sister you are talking about?" The comrade scratched his head in embarrassment: "We haven't seen each other for a few years. Women have changed a lot!"
