    So, after found To Be A Virtuous Wife i started binge read similar novel but every single one is female lead.

    Is there similar genre novel with the male lead? Fluffy romance is highly recommended.

    Thanks in advance.

    Most chinese time travel/transmigration storys with male leads are Xianxia/Xuanhuan and not really romantic, at least I know no fluffy one. The ones that came to my mind were:
    Sovereign of Three Realms (xianxia)
    God of Thunder (xuanhuan)
    Gurmet of another World (xuanhuan, pretty relaxed,the closest to fluffy from this list)
    Tales of Demons and Gods (xianxia, don't recommend)
    Upgrade Specialist in Another World (xuanhuan, funny, very good)
    and a lot of other xianxias with old cultivators reincarnating (like SOTR and TDG)

    ...I think the OP is talking about novels that actually has ancient china. Like, the mc isn't in a cultivator world...none of the ones you mentioned fit that category...

    I think you'd more typically find the male lead in such novels to be less involved with romance but more with being 'cheaty'.
    Like 'My Father in Law is Lu Bu' or something. Haven't read it but the comments speak for itself, not quite a sappy love story.

    I haven't read it yet but there was one where a businessman transmigrates and decides to become a house-husband -Zhui Xu
    Also if you haven't read it yet I recommend -Grabbing Your Hand, Dragging you Away

    if you arent offend wifh QI website then Joy of Life, it has cultivation, but not much(basically only some martial arts). Mostly about conspiracies, romance is quite strong(from other reviews, even though its harem)

    This is actually set in ancient china, and does have romance. Definitely not much fluffy though. The ending almost made me cry, really good.

    I know, my point was that there are very few novels in ancient china and romance as the focus with male MCs

    Those transmigator MLs always build an harem so it's a bit hard to get that fluffy romance.

    However, I really like "The Little Grand Secretary in my house". The FL isn't a transmigator but she's amazing. The ML is an ancient man but he rebirths and the story is written from his perspective. Technically MC is like 80yrs old but the ways it's written is like he's 14 with a hazy memory of his past life. It's funny how he schemes to get with MC (she's his child bride) but views him as a younger brother.
