Read this a long time ago. Can’t remember the romance dynamics but the MC is a strong FL https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/kimi_wa_petto/
Not as soft a read as this but not smut either! Also it's fantasy vs slice of life https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/belle_pupp_e_s_engagement_the_doll_princess_and_the_smitten_prince/
I am at chap 22 and up untill earlier I had just assumed it was a romance from what I had seen people talking about on tik tok. I was watching some more clips a little after reading and i came across a few videos that were saying this is not a romance, rather just slice of life? Mind you the video and comments were from some time in 2025 and the story might not have yet started any romance.

I plan on reading and buying this series, romance or not there just is not enough pretty soft feminine guy x hot manly bada$$ girl tropes. And when there is it usally just eventually turns into a sterotypical dynamic, where the guy is in charge and the girl is a petite little thing (NOT THAT THIS IS BAD, I JUST LOVE WOMEN IN CHARGE OK!)
.
Ps: If anyone has any manga/hwa/hua recs where the woman is the more dominant one or manly (or a cutesy dom) and the guy is more soft and sweet and feminine. The ones I know of is: Yeonwoos innocence, in the doghouse, and toying with daddy. (I would prefer more wholesome ones rather than just smut though!)
