Name: The Princess Is Betrothed to a Widowed Imperial Uncle. Good Luck to Her
Author: Fat Orange

Synopsis

[Soft, sweet, innocent white-lotus heroine vs. Impeccably dressed, scheming minister]

[Not a strong, independent heroine; not a powerful woman; married first, love later; an ordinary little sweet romance. Early on, the male lead is overly demanding in bed and cold-spoken, so the heroine can't feel his love. When forced to choose between him and her father, she decisively chooses her father, fakes her death to escape, and goes to him for shelter. Later, the male lead pursues his wife through hell!]

Song Yan, Minister of Revenue, comes from a prominent family, holds high office, and is peerlessly handsome. He is someone others look up to and fear.

This heaven-blessed young man has one regret: his marriage prospects are terrible!

He had three fiancées, and none lived long enough to marry him.

He is cursed to be widowed and bring death to his wives, with little hope of a happy marriage!

Ye Qingzhou is the daughter of Ye Jun, a young general, and a princess of a fallen kingdom.

When Emperor Yan learned that Ye Jun was secretly sheltering a descendant of the fallen royal house, he flew into a rage and sent him to guard the frontier.

He took out his anger on Ye Qingzhou too, though she was still a baby in swaddling clothes. The walls around her home were raised, and she was imprisoned for seventeen years.

Seventeen years later, Ye Jun used his military achievements to secure a marriage for Ye Qingzhou.

After much deliberation, Emperor Yan bestowed her upon Song Yan.

Song Yan treats Ye Qingzhou very well because she is Ye Jun's daughter. The rise and fall of their families means he has to be good to her.

He believes his kindness to her rests on many conditions, and that there isn't much genuine affection behind it.

But when Ye Qingzhou is on the brink of death and the doctor says she has less than three months to live, his heart turns to ashes, and he has nothing left to live for.

Only then does he understand:

All those days and nights together, all that tender affection, have long since seeped into his heart...

Comforting Marriage First, Love Later

Looking for a marriage-first, love-later story where the couple treats each other with respect and there's no melodramatic, bitter feud between them. The male lead respects the heroine, making the story really pleasant to read. Nothing like an outrageous domineering CEO story, please. A little angst is fine, haha.
