A cool, elegant beauty who restores cultural relics vs. a nontraditional domineering CEO; a striking height difference; a genuine male homewrecker who wins her over; and a touch of patriotism
As a reader, let me start with a warning: the male lead really does win the heroine over as the other man. When he falls for her, she is still someone else's wife. At first, the heroine is pretty miserable because of her family, but that won't last long. There's not much of the usual groveling to win her back, since her ex-husband has no right to it. As a reader, I especially hate male leads who treat the heroine terribly at first, make her suffer, then grovel until they win her back. What makes them think they're so wonderful? At least in the world of novels, there are plenty of good men. Hehe!
