I Saw Him, Though He Was Dead

Please Recommend Good Historical Romance Novels with Household Intrigue and Court Politics 🥹 I Want Beautiful Prose and a Logical Plot

Looking for books like "Springtime Joy, Year After Year". No marriage first, love later; no adorable babies or childcare; no grooming the male lead; and no women disguised as men. No palace intrigue, either. Please recommend something. It's so hard to find a book like "Springtime Joy, Year After Year", which is what I enjoy.
