I have a list of action types stories maybe you can find something you're looking for in here it has male and female

^^Some in here
also 'Kingdom' is really good but the story is based in ancient china (So I don't think the characters would count as knights but more like soldiers if that makes sense)

any manga with a puppy mc (preferably like a romance one without smut so fluff)

I replied with it here~
