Ladies, please recommend historical or modern novels where the couple aren't each other's firsts. Completed stories preferred, completed stories! I've read too many books where they are each other's firsts and want a change of pace. Thanks, ladies!

Classic CEO Romance: Substitute, Some Angst, Regretful Pursuit, Happy Ending, Both Leads Have Only Loved Each Other

A domineering, possessive CEO male lead. Not a strong female lead, and no reborn plot. The female lead is treated as a substitute, followed by intense physical and emotional abuse, then the male lead desperately pursues her and eventually gets a happy ending. Don't judge me, I just want to read an old-school, brainless CEO romance and revisit the style of CEO novels from five or six years ago. But no Soul-Scorching.

My Favorite Books of the Past Few Months, Hands Down.

Looking for books similar to "Slacking Princess: The Crown? Don't Be Ridiculous! I Can't Even Get Up". How do I put it? As a longtime Tomato Novel user, I used to think I could write a novel too. But after finishing this one, I realized I still have a long way to go, both in prose and pacing.
