Brilliant Jade Blossoms

A pampered, easygoing merchant's daughter * a reserved, refined, and brooding heir

The pursuit of a wife after losing her * mutual healing * fleeing while pregnant * rekindled love

From the heroine's perspective:

In her previous life, her fawning, obsequious father gave her away as a concubine, and she died in the vicious infighting of the inner chambers.

Reborn, she focuses on keeping a low profile, hiding her looks and avoiding her father's notice.

After saving a little money, she investigates every poor, marriageable man in the provincial city, hoping to find a “husband” she can control.

She finds a suitable man and sets out to learn about him and lure him in...

From the hero's perspective:

He has always been disciplined and restrained, aloof and distant by nature, reserved and composed.

Later, he learned he was one of several men she had aggressively pursued.

Perhaps he was furious at being toyed with, or perhaps he simply couldn't stand it.

His anger became impossible to suppress. As if possessed, he wanted to clip her wings and keep her imprisoned at his side...
