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.

Looking for an Elegant Historical Chinese Romance Without Outlandish, Over-the-Top, or Brain-Dead Tropes
I want something with elegant, delicate writing. Not the kind that opens with someone getting disfigured or having their heart cut out. That's too melodramatic and clumsy. And no side characters like concubine-born daughters or female antagonists publicly attacking the heroine at banquets. People like that wouldn't survive three hours in ancient times unless they were faking their deaths. It's so unrealistic.
Looking for a Historical Romance Where the Male Lead Gradually Falls for the Female Lead
A super satisfying story where everyone gradually treats the female lead better and better. No naive, sweet, silly female leads.

I have high standards and don't like melodramatic plots. I'm looking for an ancient-era romance. Please avoid the trope where the male lead chases his wife after losing her.

The female protagonist, who is neither clothed nor reborn, uses her own strength to divide the family with her own wisdom, and sees the situation clearly to marry the male protagonist. Although the male protagonist has a broken leg, she is quite arrogant and will not let others go without sparing herself. She is also very funny and good-looking, so she is worth the trouble!!!
This book is great! The writing style is simple and fluent, and the three views are acceptable. It is not a brainless novel. Fortunately, I did not choose books based on scores alone. There are some books with a score of 9 that I couldn't stand, so they are not as good as this one. What you can keep reading is a good book, with correct views, natural writing style, and attractive storyline.
I have read more than ten chapters, and I feel good. I feel like I can keep reading. I feel like I cherish the heroine like a flower. I write quickly. I want to read it continuously.
It's beautiful. It's not time travel or rebirth. It's great that a woman who has been through trouble is not afraid of trouble! Five-star praise sent!
The heroine is sensible, courageous, knowledgeable, and good-looking
Good-looking, good-looking, good-looking! The work is witty and humorous, with otakus and scheming plots, adhering to the principle of do nothing or die. It is not a great heroine novel, but it is well-conceived and interlocking and very attractive. Moreover, although there are people in the big family who have small thoughts, there is no special person except the male protagonist's father. This is in line with the ancient times when the family prospered and suffered losses, unlike some novels where the villains are written as brainless and bad just to write about conflicts. I like the male and female protagonists, very down-to-earth characters. The male protagonist is not aloof and mature, he is a little tsundere but also has the wisdom to strategize. The heroine is mature, stable and intelligent due to family reasons. She is neither a virgin nor a flaw, and she has a long-term vision and a wise mind. A very favorite work.
Oops, this book is so good. I just started reading the first few chapters, but I couldn't get into it. I almost gave up, but I persisted until the wedding and then got out of hand. I just like to see this kind of male and female protagonists have brains, both are sober, and both have mouths. Two people team up to mess with other people. I hate stupidity. I won't read it if it's even slightly stupid. This book is really exciting and a good book. 👍 This author is so considerate. I am afraid that readers will not understand many places, so I explain them in parentheses 🤭
The author should change the title of the book. This book is a serious novel, not comparable to those Internet celebrity novels. The author's words, scenes, and emotional descriptions are all very good. Although this novel does not have a golden finger, the smart and powerful male and female protagonists are really exciting. In the later stage, they become a group portrait. The translucent person is really very popular!!! It's a pity that the prince has less fun sitting on the throne as a child, but he had love in his childhood and had a male and female protagonist who loved him. It was actually very good. Five-star recommendation! My favorite is the plot where the late emperor wants to kill the male protagonist, which highlights the decisiveness of the female protagonist! Moreover, the author's humorous writing style makes the whole book more interesting. The plot is compact, not boring or urgent! Nice
After watching it, I took a souvenir ❤️ 😳 It's good-looking, it's what I love to eat. Marry first, love later 😳 😳 The characters of the male and female protagonists are also to my liking. They are a two-strong combination with 800 clever minds. The female protagonist is sober, independent and elegant, and the male protagonist is also a talkative dog-type man who loves his wife. I can also learn some things about the world through reading books. The more good books like this, the better. It would be nice if the male and female protagonists could be sweeter for a few hundred more chapters. I haven't seen enough yet, I just want to see them fall in love more!!!!!!! More!! I can still eat it!!!!!!
I've watched half of it now, and it's quite interesting. The male and female protagonists are both very big-picture characters. Although the heroine is not as decisive as in Shuangwen, who will retaliate against anyone who offends her, she is more in line with the ancient pattern of the head of a large family, in which both prosperity and loss are shared. The male protagonist is also loyal to the emperor, but not stupidly loyal 👍 After reading it, the overall story was okay, but the pace of the plot in the middle was too slow. I wrote it down like a running account, and there were about dozens of chapters. Basically, how to grow this vegetable, and after planting it, everyone tasted it and expressed their thoughts, and then planted another vegetable. This cycle seemed to be tasteless and it was a pity to abandon it (but it can be seen that the author was careful in finding information to write the novel 👍 👍 👍) Another point is that although the heroine is the matron who puts the overall situation first, she is also kind to the concubine of the male protagonist to the point where I feel a little uncomfortable with it. Earlier, I said that I would hire a nanny for her education and said that she could change her personality and marry her off. However, later on, the heroine ended up doing this every day. So, the concubine helped the female lead the house for a while, and it was not completely useless to her. However, the heroine acted like she owed her a lot, helping her choose a good husband and then giving her a lot of dowry when she got married. I felt a little disgusted. Let's not talk about how the male protagonist was treated as a child by his father, his father's concubine, and the two children born from the concubine. Let's just say that when the heroine first got married, the concubine was always trying to make things difficult for her, taunting her and scolding her, and then relying on a nun to teach her, she was able to clear herself up to the point where she and the heroine became good sisters. I felt a little disgusted by this. Moreover, this concubine initially showed favor to the heroine because the hero was crowned the heir. She knew that her brother had no hope, so she came to show kindness to the heroine... I personally feel that in this situation, people who rely on power to get along can just get along with each other in the big picture, and there is no need to treat them heartily [currently working on the manuscript] (This is a personal point of view, because I don't have the big picture of the heroine, and it is not the inner feeling of someone who repays evil with kindness 🍉)
