    Devoted ML (tho FL & ML start out as enemies)
    matrilocal husband vibes ~5% (she is a tribe leader, but most of the story plays out on 'his turf') (show sadly falls flat a bit at the end due to pacing issue & lack of storyline time for the plot twists, but I still enjoyed it)

  • Dawn Is Breaking

    20. Dawn Is Breaking

    Chinese Drama - 2024, 30 episodes

    8.5

    Devoted ML (tho with antagonistig phases between the couple ^^ )

  • Are You the One

    21. Are You the One

    Chinese Drama - 2024, 40 episodes

    9.5

    Devoted ML & kinda running gag that ML is 'useless' and needs to be taken care of by FL + FL running the business (similar for side.couple)
    (but no role-reversal society situation since it's more about the women sticking with their goals despite the very patriarchal society and their men supporting that)

  • Love of the Divine Tree

    22. Love of the Divine Tree

    Chinese Drama - 2025, 40 episodes

    8.0

    starts out with some antagonistic fun between ML & FL, later on too, but overall ML is in full on self-sacrificial-xianxia mode for FL (they both are) lol

  • Si Jin

    23. Si Jin

    Chinese Drama - 2025, 40 episodes

    8.0

    devoted ML
    (he also jokes about becoming a matrilocal husband once cause he would def prefer it compared to his own family for most of the show ^^ )

  • The Wanted Detective

    24. The Wanted Detective

    Chinese Drama - 2025, 36 episodes

    8.5

    slight exception to others in the list since FL/ML are married from the start
    the romance takes a backseat to investigations in this one, but still devoted ML
    (kinda) matrilocal husband, it's not explicitly mentioned if I remember correctly, but he does marry into her family since he's taken in as an orphan ^^  

  • Les Belles

    25. Les Belles

    Chinese Drama - 2025, 26 episodes

    8.5

    matrilocal husband, it doesn't play a big role and only happens at the very end ^^
    but it overall reflects well that FL tries to defy patriarchal expectations for women and cares about rebuilding her family's legacy after being orphaned

    devoted ML is more an honorable mention, cause they reach a 'ready to die for each other' level but only after a lot of misunderstandinsg, up+downs, bickering ^^ 

  • Love in Pavilion

    26. Love in Pavilion

    Chinese Drama - 2025, 36 episodes

    8.5

    Devoted ML

  • Yummy Yummy Yummy

    27. Yummy Yummy Yummy

    Chinese Drama - 2025, 32 episodes

    9.0

    devoted ML ( but sloooow burn - kinda due to circumstances)
    matrilocal husband at the end but it doesn't play a big part ^^
