Any Books with a Delicate Heroine Who Becomes the Harem’s Sole Favorite Later On?

Looking for books like After Entering the Palace, the Obsessive Emperor Won't Let Me Leave. I finished all of Sanrijing's books and have recently gotten into palace-intrigue stories. I'd love one with a heroine who's delicate but not foolish, an older male lead, lots of emotional push and pull early on, and then devoted affection later. It can even end...
