The Princess Reigns: Consort, Do Give Me Your Guidance

The male lead has major husband material vibes!

Who wouldn’t want a husband who can make money, dote on his wife, and take care of the kids?

[Marriage first, love later + two strong leads flirting with each other + a transmigrated best friend plays matchmaker + everyone comes around]

A sweet romance about two proud, stubborn people taming each other, though in truth they’re both falling for one another.

Gu Zhaoyue, the most beautiful and sharp-tongued princess of Great Liang, has become a notorious problem when it comes to marriage.

Her emperor brother asks what kind of husband she wants. She counts off on her fingers: “First, he has to be handsome. Second, he has to be fun. Third, he has to spoil me. Fourth, he has to be rich. Fifth, he has to listen to me. Sixth, his family should be uncomplicated and leave me alone!”

The talented young men of the capital are terrified: Is she looking for a husband or a god?

At a palace banquet, she casually points through the curtain at Shen Yi'an, the aloof and proud son of a wealthy imperial merchant. “Him.”

And so Shen Yi'an, who is busy balancing the books at home, unexpectedly receives an imperial decree arranging his marriage.

From then on, the cold-faced second son of a wealthy merchant is bound to the willful princess. Everyone waits for a laugh at the pampered princess’s and the cold merchant’s expense.

But instead, they see this:

The princess wants to tear down a pavilion and build a wine cellar. Shen Yi'an quietly hands her the plans. “The workers are ready.”

The princess teaches a spoiled young master a lesson in the street. Shen Yi'an calmly adds a stack of banknotes. “Pay them off. Don’t strain your hand.”

When people mock the princess for being jealous, Shen Yi'an pulls her into his arms, his gaze icy. “I’m the one who spoils her. Got a problem with that?”

When the princess decides to try her hand at managing the household,

Shen Yi'an says, “Your Highness, these accounts shouldn’t be handled this way...”

Gu Zhaoyue says, “Hmm?”

Shen Yi'an says, “...You’re right, Your Highness.”
