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 three books are all very good and have high ratings, all above 9.0. However, only the second one has been completed. I have worked hard to catch up on the other two books. They are so good that two chapters a day are not enough. I plan to read them a second time. The male protagonists are not rough guys, they appear relatively late, and they don't have many roles. I haven't read the last two books yet. From the introduction, they seem to be the genre I'm more interested in, and the ratings are high, so you might want to read them.
